Playing Rules: Other Rules

The tournament secretary is responsible for the proper conduct of the tournament. For this purpose he may use any means he considers appropriate. These must of course not be in contradiction to the Rules of Play and Tournament Rules.
As soon as possible after ending a game, a clear score, preferably on a pro-forma score sheet, shall be sent to the tournament secretary by both players. After the last game has ended it is recommended that a statement showing the results of each game be sent to the Tournament Secretary. The outcome is officially recorded only after receipt of the game scores. Should no score be received by the tournament secretary from either player, then the game shall be reckoned as lost by both players.
Any game played in the tournaments shall be published only with an exact and full description of the tournament organization.
An appeal against decisions of the tournament secretary may be lodged with the director of the tournament office concerned. This must be made within two weeks, sending in all necessary data. The decision on the appeal is final.
