Guidelines:
1. If after you register then your rating changes, please register in the next appropriate rating range.
2. There are 5 rating ranges, under-registered rating range may be merged or expanded with other ratings; or the number of maximum players may be adjusted; or the category may be completely deleted where upon you have to re-register in the next relevant category.
3. Players NOT registered in the appropriate range may be deleted, and will be deleted if no factor(s) as viewed by the tournament director favors them to remain in a particular category.
4. The grace period is the last hours before the tournament starts. While some players may be allowed to remain and participate in a specific category despite their ratings, the best and safest way is to register in a proper rating range up until 12 hours before the tournament begins.
