Individual tournaments: The current FIDE Standard, Rapid or Blitz Elo rating, as applicable. (If you do not have a Rapid or Blitz Elo rating, your Standard Elo rating will be used)
Round Robin: By drawing of lots

5. AUTHORIZED BYES (“HALF-POINT BYES”)
477026 - 14th ICCD Open Individual Chess Tournament
1. A player may request a bye for a round, receiving half a point for each bye; it does not count as a forfeit, and the tie-breaking will be affected. Up to three byes may be granted, applicable in the first three rounds* of the 14th ICCD Open Individual Chess Tournament. In any other round, any requested bye will be worth 0 points.
* The ICCD Presidency, in agreement with the Tournament Director and the Chief Arbiter, may authorize ½-point byes in subsequent rounds due to force majeure circumstances.
2. Requirement: Written request, directly to the chief referee. Confirmation is required.
3. Cancellation: A player may cancel their requested byes. They must do so by paper before the publication of the first pairings, or before the publication of the immediately preceding round, as applicable.
4. Confirmation: Both the requirement and the cancellation require confirmation from the Organization to be valid.

6. PLAYING RULES
1. Laws of Chess, the FIDE Code of Ethics, and these Regulations shall be applied, which may be modified. The definitive version of the Regulations will be the Spanish version given in the Playing Hall.

2. Registration implies acceptance of these Regulations. Players will abide by these rules during their games.

3. Chief Arbiter may impose sanctions on participants for inappropriate behavior on the Playing Zone, even if not directly related to a game, if they affect the good order of the tournament, including claims that are ostensibly reckless or in bad faith; or to the respect due to the people attending; or care of the facilities. The penalty will correspond to the seriousness, the damage caused and the recurrence, and will be those contemplated in article 12.9 of the Laws of Chess.

4. In order to leave the Playing Zone, players, whether or not they are in play, will follow the rules set forth in the Laws of Chess and the instructions of the Chief Arbiter. Failure to comply with these rules may lead to a sanction. The penalties will be in accordance with the Laws of Chess and the FIDE Code of Ethics.

5. Players must inform an arbiter about the result of the game and must give him the scoresheets, immediately after the game ends. The arbiter will record the result and collect the scoresheets.


7. DEFAULT TIME
A maximum delay of 15 minutes is allowed in classical time control tournaments. In all other time control tournaments, until the time ends.

8. DRAW AGREEMENT RULE
In addition to what is described in the Laws of Chess, y only for classical tournaments, the players will only be able to agree on a draw when each of them has made at least 30 moves.
If the previous paragraph is not fulfilled, the agreement will be subject to the arbiter's consent, which will be granted only in case of continuous check, triple repetition, stalemate, dead position … The draw agreement will be signed by both players present in the Playing Room. They will communicate it to the arbiter for verification before being absent. In case that the players leave the score-sheets that do not comply with this section, the result will be 0:0 in the game, without being able to be corrected later.

9. PLAYING CONDITIONS
1. Players are entitled to decent and comfortable playing conditions; to fair and respectful treatment by the Organization and the arbiters; to sufficient services; to complete general sports information about the tournament; to specific information about title results; and have open access to the playing area 30 minutes before the start of the round, in order to carry out the pertinent health actions.

2. Players may not carry or use electronic communication devices, smart watches or other devices that may contain information, except as authorized by the Chief Arbiter, in accordance with the FIDE Laws of Chess. Otherwise, they will lose the game. The Organization will not accept the deposit of these devices or accessories.



10. COMPLAINTS
1. Each player will review their data in the official lists of the Festival. A player's claim, regarding his data or results, for prize purposes and to the detriment of third parties, raised after the publication of the pairing of the last round may be rejected; and if it refers to the pairing or result of said last round, if 15 minutes have elapsed since its publication.
2. A decision of the Chief Arbiter can be appealed to the Appeals Committee, in writing, within 15 minutes after the end of the game in question, in the terms authorized by the Laws of Chess. Sanctions outside the game, decided by the Chief Arbiter, can also be appealed within 15 minutes of their notification. To present the appeal, a deposit of €50 will have to be deposited, which will be returned if the appeal is successful, or even if it is not successful, if the Appeals Committee considers that there were well-founded causes for its presentation.
3. The Appeals Committee will be made in the technical meeting.

11. DISQUALIFICATION
A player’s default (not the "bye") in a round will cause his disqualification, unless he excuses himself in writing and asks to continue, before publishing the pairing for the next round. It supposes the definitive disqualification:
• The accumulation of two defaults, except for an exception authorized by the Chief Arbiter and the Tournament Director, based on a justified reason.
• A serious offense, in accordance with Laws of Chess and the FIDE Code of Ethics
