Albert Complex Team Competition

There will be an Albert Complex Team Competition (雅柏广场象棋团体邀请赛) on 23 Sept 2007 (Sunday) at Albert Complex (beside OG at Bugis). This is part of their celebration for the mid-autumn festival.

There will be 2 rounds. Round 1 will commence on 1030H and end at about 1230H. Round 2 will start at 1300H and end at 1500H.

The system is as follows:

1) There will be 10 teams. Every team can have a maximum of 12 members, inclusive of the captain and vice captain. All 12 players are able to compete.

2) In each round, every team will send out 9 representatives, which will compete with the other 9 teams respectively. There is a limitation of 5 RANKED players per round.

3) For every game, every player has 60 minutes of thinking time, with the player losing should he/she used up all 60 minutes. However, should a player whose position is obviously winning but with very little time (e.g. <5 min), he/she can request the arbiter to declare a draw. The arbiter's decision is final.

This competition will follow the Asian Federation rulings.

The prize giving session will be held on the same day at 1530H. The prizes (for the whole team) are as follows:

1st: $300
2nd: $200
