FAIR PLAY RULES

 

• Every game played will be subject to review by ChessKid fair play systems, ChessKid staff and tournament directors.
• Players are not allowed to use outside assistance of any kind. That includes no computer assistance, no human assistance, no watching the livestream, no tablebases, no databases, no books, no notes, no past games, or scorebooks, no use of a second chess set to analyze variations.
• Players are only allowed to have one tab open on their browser-- the tab in which they are playing. No other websites are allowed to be open during the event. Players with more than one tab open will be considered to be breaking fair play rules for this event and can be disqualified on this basis along  as a "technical forfeiture."
• Any fair play violations may result in removal from the tournament, forfeiture of games, permanent expulsion from both ChessKid and Chess.com. Players may appeal a ruling, however after a second review occurs, ChessKid's decision will be final. There will be no more appeals after that.
• Parents are strongly encouraged to talk with their children before the event to discuss what is not allowed. Please join ChessKid in helping kids understand that chess teaches honesty and integrity. As part of the registration process, both parent and child must agree to all of these fair play terms.

 

TECHNICAL DETAILS

 

• All games will be played on ChessKid.com's live server. A special Gold Account will be created for all players.
• The Tournament will be open for Kids to 'JOIN' about 30 minutes before the first round. Here's a video on how a child joins a live tournament on ChessKid. If you try to register after the starting time, you may not be able to play. It is required that you 'JOIN' before the Tournament starts.
• WiFi is usually stronger and the site functions better. If you can plug into an ethernet port, that is best. The reality of online play, even with the world champion, is that WiFi failures can impact an online tournament. 
• Preferred browsers are Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
• Clearing your browser's cache before the tournament is another great protective measure.
• If you experience issues in the middle of a game or the Tournament, clicking 'refresh' on your browser is the first thing to do. If you 'refresh' in the middle of a game, it will never kick you out of the game and can only help.
• Two kids cannot play at the same time on the same device.
• If a family has any issues with logging in, playing, etc, there will be live help support on Whatsapp that will open one hour before the first round.
