3. The Tournament registration opens 1 hour before start time. The Join button will be enabled only 1 hour before start time. Once you register to join the tournament you need to wait until start time. Please do join 10 – 15 minute before start time to avoid missing out on the tournament.

4. If you are late and trying to join after tournament has begun, you need to click on “In Progress” to find the tournament in progress. Avoid joining late. If everyone turns up late, the tournament will be cancelled due to insufficient players. It is important to have few players joined the tournament before start time.

5. Remember, the tournament type is Arena. Once you complete your game, you will get next game to play depending on other players availability.

6. Don't click on back button on browser, as sometimes it leads to player leaving the tournament.

Please do not take competition too seriously. The objective is to give children opportunity to try and experiment different moves and openings. If they are too concerned about the win, we are not serving our purpose. I would like children to try and experiment. It is important to try and see what works and what does not.
