Tournament games can happen any time, any place. The winner is responsible for reporting game results to Dennis. Tournament players must agree this will be a tournament game BEFORE the game starts.

Participants should play two tournament games with each other (1 point for a win, a half point for a draw, no points for a loss). In each pair of games against the same opponent, Player #1 will take white once and take black once.

The entry for this tournament is $5, and the winner takes the pot. Dennis will collect the money and distribute the winnings to the winner. If the highest point total results in a tie, a playoff game will decide the winner of tournament.

Clocks are optional in each tournament game, but both players must agree to use the clock. Federation parameters should be observed (if you touch a piece, it must be moved; if you let go, it must stay there).
