OLYMPIAD APPEAL
http://www.acfappeal.aunz.org/
From
the home page:
The biennial Chess Olympiad is one of the world's biggest sporting
events, and the most important teams event on the world chess calendar.
The 39th Olympiad is being held at Khanty-Mansiysk, 1900 km from Moscow in
western Siberia - it's hard to imagine a more remote venue from Australia!
Australia will be fielding an open and a women's team,
each five players and a team captain, of our best available players.
With experience at the last two or three Olympiads,
our new young stars GM Zong-Yuan Zhao, GM David Smerdon and IM George Xie will
be out to continue our fine record.
Unlike most competing nations, the Australian teams receive no
government support and must pay their own way, a burden compounded by the
distance involved from Australia to Siberia and the corresponding high air
fares. The costs increase with every Olympiad. They can't do it alone, but
depend on the support of the Australian chess community.
We ask you all to reach for the hip pocket, and give
what you can to the ACF Olympiad Appeal. No donation is too large or too small
- all will get the teams that much closer to Khanty-Mansiysk and will be
acknowledged on this site.
All donors of $50 or more to the last Olympiad Appeal
received email bulletins from the players direct from Dresden. A similar
thank-you gesture is anticipated from the players in Khanty-Mansiysk.
Enquiries from organisations interested in
sponsoring the teams are most welcome

CAQ NON ACF RATED TOURNAMENT INFORMATION
2010 QLD
CLUB TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Final format and details for this event will be placed on the CAQ website by
the time of the next newsletter in two weeks.
Some preliminary information:
1.
Sunday
12th December

The
Premier Division will be comprised of 6 player teams, with each team to play in

CAQ
has decided to revert to the 'pure club format' that existed in the first few
events. This means there will be strict club player eligibility rules. These
will be included in the next newsletter when the full information is released.

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.
