1.
All competitions are open to Clubs in Staffordshire, and clubs affiliated to Staffordshire through the North Staffs, Cannock and Wolverhampton & District Chess Leagues.
They are played on a knock-out basis.
2.
All competitions are played under the control of a Tournament Secretary whose decision is final.
However, should any club wish to appeal against the decision, they may do so to the County Secretary depositing £5.00 which is returnable if such an appeal is upheld.
3.
All games must be played by the date given with both Clubs notifying the Tournament Secretary of the result.
4.
Should Clubs fail to agree on a date, the home Club shall notify the Tournament Secretary who will fix a date and venue which is binding on both parties.
Failure to keep the date means forfeiture of the match.
5.
The home Club will provide clocks, boards and sets, even if the game is played on a neutral venue.
However, should deviation from this be necessary, the Tournament Secretary must be contacted.
Failure to comply means default or if your opponent(s) see fit, a more preferable reversing of venue.
6.
The Tournament Secretary will make a draw which may be on a regional basis.
Away games in successive rounds will be avoided where possible.
