You may request a 1/2 point bye for round 1 OR round 2 Additionally you may request a 0 point bye for round 1 or 2 if you already requested a 1/2 point by for the other. Rounds 3 and 4 will not allow byes unless a forced bye happens via odd number of players.
If a bye is appointed to you via odd number of players then you will receive a full point for that round. You will have the option to play a rated game with the House Player but the result of this game will NOT affect your one point bye.
Please note that due to the registration list being public we will not do a full refund at any time. You may request a partial refund of UP TO 25% so we can maintain the prize fund people expect after seeing the amount of registered players

Also so there is no debate or confusion on what ratings are used to determine the upset it will be based solely on the rating that ChessManager shows you as. There’s no arguing with the TD or showing him a different rating or anything of the sort. It has a rating listed that is either up to date or from the previous month at the time you registered. If you try to show the TD your rating or your opponent’s rating to try to explain a bigger upset than the official one the TD will show you this sentence which is on both KingRegister and ChessManager.
Equipment: It is encouraged that players bring their own boards pieces and clocks. The TD only has a small limited amount of boards and clocks that can be loaned out. Make sure the time on the clock is set to 45 minutes with a 15 second delay. (Increment and delay are NOT the same thing and are NOT interchangeable)

A nice-ish fountain pen will be available to BORROW for free or a nicer pen you can keep forever and ever will be available for purchase. An estimated 50 BILLION plastic ballpoint pens are thrown away every year. Let's not be part of the problem <3
