INTEGRITY & DISQUALIFICATION: This tournament is intended only for honest players interested in competing with other honest players. Please know that games will be very carefully scrutinized for engine and other assistance use, both via computerized and manual methods by Lichess and the organizer.

If players are disqualified, the organizer may make any logical adjustment to the event, necessary to determine its winner, including removing the player's score from the team total, determining a team prize ineligible, reassignment of points or partial points by forfeit, holding a playoff invitational on a later date, replaying the event entirely, or other method. Likewise, the tie break may be changed/adjusted to any reasonable/generally acceptable method. Accordingly, to maximize your chances, regardless of occurrences of dishonesty, it is strongly suggested to all honest players to arrive on time and complete all rounds of the event, regardless of score from round to round.
