Announcing CCT 7 on ICC February 12 & 13 2005 at the Internet Chess Club. The details are as follows: ICCHANDLE: CCT7 Website: http://cct7.crafty-chess.com (Will be up later today) Registration: http://cct7.crafty-chess.com/signup.html (Online now) Email: cct7@crafty-chess.com Site: The Internet Chess Club (as always, thanks to them for the support) Rounds: 9 round swiss. Time controls: 50 + 3 All games to be played in one weekend: 5 games on Saturday 4 on day Sunday In the event of a tie situation: There will be co-winners awarded. 1. No manually operated programs, and all programs must kibitz their evaluation, and book moves/TB hits if possible. Providing as much information as possible for the viewers and participants is key here. It should also be noted that 1-3 lines of text is sufficient. No need to scroll out an entire page :) 2. In the event of a disconnection, the party will be given 5 minutes to return to complete the game and no more than 3 disconnections per game will be allowed. On the third time, the game will be a forfeit. 3. Only the author or an approved operator (Author must email the TD in such case to grant approval). There will be no clones allowed. 4. Participants can use any hardware they can bring. Participants choosing to use remotely located hardware are recommended to have a suitable back up solution in the event there is an uncorrectable malfunction. 5. No entries will be accepted 2 days prior to the start date of the tournament. This is to ensure that advertising, websites, and any promotional tools are accurate at start time. This is also to ensure partitipants have enough time to test their program on the ICC servers to ensure it is able to play. 5a. In the event that there is a late withdrawl or uneven amounts of players, the TD can substitute a program in place of the departing entrant to keep the numbered entries the same. And to avoid a bye round. 6. Seeding. The below formula will be used to determine seedings: 6a. A panel of 5 people will be polled where they would seed the list of entrants. These people will be from this board, and are active/knowledgable individuals. This group of people will also be anonymously selected, and results will only be known by final seedings. The average of these 5 polled people will determine the seedings for the tournament. 7. Any account that enters into the CCT will be given a 1 month account. If the author is operating the program for the entire tournament the account will be granted "free" status. Peter
