Don’t Be cRule – New Post Series

Update 14-Jan-25 - I changed these rule posts into pages (linked at the right), so this post space can be less cluttered, and reserved for tournament updates and other dynamic items... I will leave this one post up so you can find the rest, and I will bring it to the top as I post new items.

--------------

I’ll occasionally be posting on rules matters that show up in WCC or other local events as TDs discuss them.

I hold a Local TD certification but there are a number of Senior TDs in our local rota, and I certainly rely on them when necessary (with attribution).

I’ll usually cover one or two topics in each post, and I’ll try to begin with OTB ground rules and common scenarios. Even if you’re an experienced player, it may help (or even save you ½ point here and there) to be well acquainted with these…

Items on my initial list to cover include:

Getting rulings during a game
How to offer a draw properly
How to claim a draw properly (not the same thing as above...)
Keeping score, taking notes, electronic scoresheets

I seem to have gotten through most of these, let me know what you want to see next. If not, I'll probably resort to these:

How does the Swiss system and pairings work
How the rating system works
Explaining the USCF class and "title" systems

You can always drop me a line at chess@demastri.com if you want to see anything covered.
