Hallo,

I don't know who is in charge of the tournament this time and I am not sure if
this already has been discussed and decided - just a few questions.

It seems there will probably be about 40 competitors in the cct-4 . Why 11
rounds then ? 7 rounds should be enough and make schedule easier.

This would also allow to make it a one-weekend event and not two weekends and
probably make it more attractive for spectators.

How about time control ? I have seen a few time controls discussed - is the
60/10 final ?

Is there a referee already ? There should be one. I can't remember who did the
job last time but I remember he did well :-).

After the last tournament a few suggestions regarding rules have been discussed
to avoid possible problems . Have any of these been implemented for the January
event ? To name some:

a.) Only automated programs allowed.

b.) Rules for disconnections ?

c.) Rules for newcomers ?

None of this is _my_ business but as I believe the cct's are the future of
computerchess tournaments I'd like to see them discussed to make it easier for
the professionals to participate also.

I remember i.e. Ed Schroeder mentioned he needed some of them resolved before he
would participate with Rebel.

Regards,
pete
