All the players MUST read the tournament rules very carefully.
The tournament rules are published in the QT main page.
The player will open 10 games and join 10 games = 20 games in total.
When the player opens the games, he/she has to write the opponent's name into game description.
The player opens the games for 10 players in the players list right below him.
For example, guminzhao (No.16) has to open the games for players with numbers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. So he will open 10 games with following descriptions -
'for lar880n', 'for Alan', 'for nick_hopper', 'for serdyuk', 'for penitent', 'for whte', 'for Basilisk',
'for littlewhite', 'for gauss98', 'for SergeiSita'.
Joining the game is very simple. The player has to go to 'join menu' and find the games where is his/her name written in description and join them.
There should be 10 games to be joined.
Exceeding this time rule may be handled by referees as a forfeited game for the player.
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.
