Welcome to
the sixteenth edition of the CAQ email newsletter.
This
newsletter begins with information for the 2010 Qld Championship- the most
prestigious tournament on the CAQ calendar. The Qld Championship has been run
since 1895. That's right, 1895.
Also
contained in this CAQ email newsletter is information on upcoming CAQ endorsed
events, how to join the CAQ, ACF events and information at the bottom of the
email if you wish to unsubscribe.
Two tournaments have had their information
confirmed:
1) Qld Minor Championship
2) Mackay Open
Information
for both tournaments can be found in the new tournament additions section.
The
Bundaberg Weekender (August 21/22) is now an ACF Grand Prix class 2 tournament,
which means more ACF GP points are now on offer. It was previously a class 1
tournament.

UPCOMING
TOURNAMENTS
2010 GOLD
COAST OPEN
A Yulgibar-Think Big Australian Chess Grand Prix Class 5
event
A
highlight of our year at the chess centre (Mudgeeraba) will be the week of
chess where we host the Gold Coast Open followed immediately by the Queensland
Junior Championships.
The Gold Coast Open, a category 5 Australian Grand Prix event is widely
regarded as one of the top five weekenders in the nation. Grandmaster Ian
Rogers will be providing live game analysis in our café area throughout the weekend.
It will be the first time that we have held this tournament at the chess
centre.
Already GM David Smerdon and IM George Xie have confirmed their entries.
Players of any standard can enter the
tournament. There are open, under 1600 and under 1000 sections. Thanks to Dr
Peter Haron who is sponsoring $1,250 in prizes in the under 1000 section, even
relative beginners can win a prize. A great weekend of chess is anticipated for
all on 26/27 June.
Altogether, nearly $7,000 in prizes are up
for grabs!

CAQ
UNAUTHORISED WITHDRAWAL POLICY
I think it
is fair to say that one of the biggest banes of organisers and arbiters alike
is when players decide to not show for their final round games without at least
informing the arbiter that they will not be present for the final round so the
arbiter can at least take that player out of the draw.
Not only is this type of behaviour selfish and in poor form, but it is also
against the unauthorised withdrawal policy of the CAQ, which states:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unauthorised Withdrawals:
d)
Withdrawals. Any player who has completed the first round of any tournament
shall not withdraw from that tournament without approval from the organiser or
DOP. A player whose withdrawal has not been approved by the organiser or DOP
will be regarded as an unapproved withdrawer. In such cases one or more of the
following penalties may be applied:-
- listing as
an unapproved withdrawer in CAQ newsletters and/or web site
- and/or suspension from the CAQ
The secretary may request a verbal or written explanation in determining the
appropriate course of action
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Players who do not show for a tournament round without prior explanation can
expect a please explain letter in the mail from the CAQ Council asking why they
failed to show for their tournament game and why one of the above listed
actions should not be taken.
