In each round the player drawn as Black will have choice of venue (including adjournments). Colour and venues alternate if game(s) drawn.
White shall instigate contact within seven days of receiving notification of pairing, although Black may do so. The Tournament Controller will specify the dates by which matches must be played. Results are to be reported to him promptly accompanied by the score of the game
The time controls are: 40 moves in 120 minutes, then 20 moves per hour thereafter, which implies adjournment of long games after a four hour session. The same for game 2 if game 1 is drawn, and so on. These rates may be varied by mutual agreement provided they are in accordance with Standardplay criteria
