  • Active Tournaments

    Is recording of moves in an active tournament necessary for it to be rated cfc?

    What is the time control regulations for a tournament to be active and not blitz or regular - and how do increments factor into this?

    From the CFC website: http://chess.ca/handbook#section-4

    411. Rateable Tournaments. To be rated under the CFC "standard" rating system the time control must be at least 60 minutes per player for the game (or for 60 moves with increment). To be rated under the CFC Quick rating system the time control must be at least 5 minutes but less than 60 minutes per player for the game (or for 60 moves with increment)."

    There may be many complicated time controls. The intention is to stick to the maximum game time. Non sudden death time controls shall not have a rate of play exceeding one move per minute. For both rating systems, all secondary time controls must be a minimum of 5 minutes long.

    All games in a tournament should fit the same category. All time controls of a tournament must be advertised and/or posted prior to the tournament. Any Quick rated tournament must be advertised as such prior to the tournament.

    All events rated Standard/Regular should:

    1. use chess clocks

    2. require both players to record moves
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    411.1 Quick Chess [Motion 2012-P Armstrong/McKim]
    That CFC combine the current “ Active “ and “ Blitz “ Rating Systems, and expand them into one system called a “ Quick Chess “ Rating System, on the following terms:

    1. it will accept " quick chess " tournaments with time control from Game/5 ( with increments Game/3 with 2 sec. increment ) to Game/59. Games 15-59 min. will be the regular K factor ( 2200+ - 16; U 2200 - 32 ), while those 5-14 min. will be one-half K factor ( 2200+ - 8; U 2200 – 16 ).

    It doesn't actually say so anywahere, but players in Quick/Active events do not have to record their moves.
