Tournament Rules and Procedures announcements

In Response To: Tournament Rules and Procedures announcements (Rich Munitz)

Here is what I recommend:

Instead of getting your first round match assignment off of the draw sheet, you get a slip of paper with the name of your opponent and the number of points the first match is to. That paper also has ALL unusual or different rules or rule changes and any other policies relative to mandatory clocks, breaks, leaving the room, etc. that are essential for the player to know.

Once the first round matches start, I put up the draw sheets.

Now, NO ONE CAN SAY THEY DIDN'T SEE OR HEAR THE RULES and since they have it in writing for a reference, it will be something they can refer to later.

At our weekly tournaments, Carter and I have copies of the basic rules of tournament play which we give to every new player who walks in the door, and it is available for anyone to review (and many do).

These rules that are specific to a given tournament could also be posted on the wall next to the draw sheets, and of course, announcements right before the first round is also a good reminder.
