4.When players get stuck, we will wait one minute and then put in a substitute or robot to allow the round to progress. If this is not possible, deals will be skipped and scores will be assigned by the TDs by completing with the likely results,or assigning based on fault.
5.Please be polite. Bad behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. We will give one warning, then remove offenders without a table money refund.
6.Players who message 8 times on the same topic will be considered to be harassing and silenced for the remainder of the session.
7.Ethically please know that we are watching, we trust you all, until you prove
we cannot – do not be alarmed if we contact you to query an action
8.Please be polite – we are in each others’ homes online, so be the best house guest ever!
9.All players are expected to respect the tournament conditions and table money requirements.
10.You can tell us about hesitations but online they mean many things and are almost never what they are
11.Uncompleted boards will be finished by the system or the TD. The assigned score will be the most likely outcome from the point play stopped. A weighted score is only assigned if there are many likely outcomes, or a guess was required.
12.Players may seek a review of a ruling or score adjustment within 20 minutes of the end of a game. For EBU & WBU events the Chief TD will be the TD in charge of the event. There will be a deposit. The Reviewer will check that the tournament director has gathered the necessary evidence of what occurred when the infraction arose. The Reviewer will then need to be satisfied that the correct law was applied and that other tournament directors were consulted where appropriate. In matters involving the judgement that was exercised by a player following unauthorised information, incorrect explanation or failure to alert, the Reviewer will clarify that suitable players have been asked appropriate questions to enable a judgmental view to be obtained. Finally the Reviewer will check that the ruling that was issued based upon all the information available to the tournament directors was within the bounds of reasonableness. The deposit may be forfeited if in the opinion of the Reviewer there is insufficient basis for requesting the review.
