PCA Rules and Tips
|
No talking or distracting behavior while the tournament is in progress. |
|
Show good sportsmanship, always! |
|
Chess players are expected to be courteous. Chess players are expected to be mature. Chess has a good reputation. Lets keep it that way! |
|
Be nice! |
|
If you watch a game, give the players some personal space. “4 feet or forfeit.” |
|
Set up the pieces when you are done using them. |
|
If you wish to leave the playing area, tell the tournament director first. |
|
No arguing! If your opponent makes a mistake, ask a tournament director for help. Be polite, always. Be patient. |
|
Focus on your own game. Never interfere with other games. If you witness a mistake, be calm and patient. If you REALLY want to help, tell a tournament director, or just let the players work it out. Players are responsible for their own games. |
|
The chess equipment may only be used for real chess. |
|
Touch move, always! |
|
A clean chess club is a happy chess club! Please return pencils and books. Please push in chairs. Please be considerate. Leave things the same or better. |
|
If you are notating, you might wish to write down someone’s rating. Use the Wallchart or Pairing sheet. |
|
Again, be nice! |
|
Have fun. |
Have a great day!
