2017 West Orange Chess Club Mohan Nayak Memorial Tournament

5 round Swiss System

Game 75 + 30 second increment added after every move

If a clock with increment or delay isn't available (only an analog clock is available for example) the time control is Game 105 (time control of Game 75 + not used per move increment of 30). And if a clock only with delay but no increment is available the time control is Game 100 with 5 second delay before every move (Game 105 minus 5 minutes due to the inclusion of the 5 second delay).

So the mandatory order based on clock availability is: 1. increment (Game 75 with 30 second increment added after every move) 2. delay (Game 100 with 5 second delay before every move) 3. neither increment or delay (Game 105).

Schedule: October 10, 17, 24, 31 and November 7
