How is Fair Play
being Monitored? |
-
We are monitoring Fair Play
DURING each round
and AFTER the games
-
During the
Games: The tournament
staff will monitor all games in real time (e.g. while your game is
in progress) to identify suspected violations of Fair Play
-
After the
Games: Games will be
analyzed after the tournament, and before prizes are awarded, to
further identify Fair Play violations and/or re-examine suspicious games
identified by screening DURING play.
-
EASE
YOUR FEARS: Although we are NOT
using Chess.com, you can read this
Chess.com article
about Cheat Detection because we are following a
similar approach.

What happens when
Cheating is Suspected? |
Violations
of Fair Play WILL NOT BE TOLERATED !!
- During the Games:
The Chief Tournament Director reserves the right to
eject from the tournament
at any time
any player suspected of violating Fair Play. If
a player is ejected by the Chief TD, there is no recourse to
re-enter the tournament -- you're out, period!!
-
After the
Games: BEFORE we
award any prizes, games
will be professionally analyzed to determine if there are violations
of Fair Play that went undetected during play. If this
happens, those games will undergo additional professonal analysis.
-
Players whom the Chief TD determines have
violated Fair Play will be
disqualified from the event and all of their
games turned into LOSSES. These players should expect their
actions to become grounds for an Ethics Complaint to the US Chess
Federation.
