This is the starting information about Final of The 4th Online Renju Class Tournament.
RULES
THE TOURNAMENT WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER 3, 2003, at 5 p.m. GMT.
The games are played in the round robin system, where every player meets everyone. So, each player will have 19 games to play. The color was chosen by checking the number of the players - if the sum of two player numbers is odd, then the smaller number is black; if even, then the smaller number is white.
OPENING THE GAME:
FORBIDDEN MOVES AND 5 IN A ROW
Feel free to use Tournament Message Board in Forum as well as Chat Board of each game window to communicate with other tournament players. The messages for referees should be sent by email or by Forum mail. In addition they can also be posted to message board.

All the players MUST read the tournament rules very carefully.
The tournament rules are published in the Final main page.
All games are opened by the server, so you just need to go and find your games in Tournament Server.
This is a very convenient way.
Since our game server is not fully developed, it does not have the check of forbidden moves and 5 in a row. Therefore, the players must self check the forbidden moves and 5 in a row (if occurs). The player MUST resign the game when opponent had gotten 5 in a row.
If the player plays to the forbidden point, the opponent should tell about that the player, giving him/her the chance to resign decently. If the player does not respond or refuses to resign then the opponent should turn to referees and the referees will make the judgement.
