Contact info: TD Nick Sterling. E-mail: td@boylstonchess.org. Text/cell: 781-733-0849.

For Round 1, Pairings will be posted on Tuesday just after 6 PM on the Boylston CC website.
The cutoff time for registration in time to play a Round is Tuesday at 6
PM. Any players who register subsequent to 6 PM will be skipped until
the following week's Round. Each Round begins at 6:30 PM except for
games whose start times were agreed in advance to be changed.
Players must join Zoom and Share their Screens or show their play areas
in their camera views. The link will be sent to players by e-mail.
Players with scores of at least +2, or in contention for a prize, may,
at the TD's discretion, be required to provide at least two separate
camera views on Zoom.
Players must be current Members of USCF for the OPEN SECTION ONLY, not
the U1900. However, if the Sections need to be combined due to
insufficient registration, then players who joined the U1900 Section
will need USCF Memberships to play in the Open.
Forfeit of a Round for any reason may result in forfeit of any prize $$$
that would otherwise have been won, at the TD's discretion.
Rating with USCF will be delayed by 72 hours after the completion of the
tournament to give lichess time to ensure Fair Play was observed in all
games.
