ACF NOTICES
ACF Notice – Pairing programs
The
ACF has decided that only Swiss Perfect, Swiss Master or Swiss Manager are to
be used for pairing purposes for any ACF event including ACF Grand Prix
events or any event that is to be FIDE rated.
The Australian Chess Federation does not endorse in any way, or have anything
whatsoever to do with, David Cordover's Tornelo system and any statements or
implications otherwise are false.
Newsletter content
In connection with the above
matter, the ACF Council has recently resolved that nothing to do with David
Cordover, his chess business or his Tornelo system is to appear in the ACF
newsletter until he removes to the satisfaction of the ACF Council all
references, inferences or implications that his Tornelo system is in any way
related to the Australian Chess Federation or ACF ratings [obviously with the
exception of the above notice itself].

2011 CAQ MEMBERSHIP
http://www.caq.org.au/htm/current.htm
If you are considering playing
an upcoming tournament, which are listed below in upcoming CAQ endorsed
events section, then CAQ encourages to pay your CAQ
membership online. All players in tournaments with time controls of 60
minutes or more must be CAQ members, or members of another ACF state
association.
To join
online: http://www.caq.org.au/htm/membership.htm and
follow the information given in the link.

BULK ENTRY DISCOUNT SCHEME
With
Easter in 2011 falling at the end of April and the return of the Darling
Downs Open to the calender, this now sees three long time control tournaments
in a row.
1. Darling Downs Open,
April 16-19
2. Qld Open, April
22-26
3. Peninsula Open Apr
30, May 1 and 2
In an effort to assist players who will want to play in all three
tournaments, CAQ is offering a bulk entry discount scheme, whereby players
can enter all three tournaments at the same time.
Entry
fee through this scheme will cost $150, whereas entering the day before for
each three events separately could cost over $200.
So the decision CAQ has approved is:
A potential player
will pay CAQ $150 and will be able to enter the DDO, Qld Open and Peninsula
Open. If that person fails to inform CAQ, then their money is not refunded
back to them. If a person does inform CAQ before the start of the DDO, we
will refund them their money.
If a person plays
in DDO and then can not play in the other two events, we will refund the
difference between the total amount and the entry fee for DDO, so they get
$70 back.
The
three tournaments information are shown directly below.

POTENTIAL NEW CAQ AFFILIATED
CLUBS AND HOW TO AFFILIATE WITH CAQ
Currently CAQ has 16 affiliated clubs and CAQ is looking to
increase this number.
Starting a club can be a daunting experience, but
can also be a rewarding experience. CAQ would like to see more clubs in some
of the regional cities, plus also new clubs being formed in the Northern part
of Brisbane, Ipswich and Western Suburbs of Brisbane.
If someone is interested in starting a club,
especially in those areas where there is no chess club currently present,
please do contact CAQ at president@caq.org.au
CAQ has various financial options available, plus clubs are also
able to advertise in this newsletter, on the CAQ website and promote their
activities at other tournaments to make themselves known to the wider
community.
|
|
CAQ AFFILIATED CLUB INFORMATION
For CAQ affiliated
clubs that wish to advertise their club more broadly, all they need to do is
provide some information for the CAQ newsletter. This newsletter is sent out
to over 500 people from all over Qld and Australia, so it provides an
opportunity to let more people know about your CAQ affiliated club.
Any club that takes
advantage of this opportunity will have their information included in each
and every newsletter while they remain affiliated with CAQ.

2011 QLD PARTICIPATION GRAND
PRIX
The 2011 Queensland Participation Grand
Prix is an initiative of the Chess Association of Qld to encourage
participation in Qld weekenders, particularly those held in regional
locations. The prizes will therefore not necessarily be won by the best
players, but by those who perform well and are also prepared to participate
regularly.
The Grand Prix points awarded to a player for each event (provided they are
not an unapproved withdrawer) is the sum of a player's score and a
'participation bonus' which depends on where the event is held. At the end of
the 2011 calendar year, prizes will be awarded based on the sum of these
scores. In the event of a tie, the relevant prizes will be combined and split
equally.
Players must be (or become) CAQ members, and must be resident in
Queensland.
In order to qualify for the GP, an event must be open to all players,
approved for rating on the 'Normal' (or 'Classic') ACF Rating List, and be
played on a single weekend (a 'long weekend' is considered to be a single
weekend). Events with rounds on (non-holiday) weekdays may be accepted,
provided the majority of rounds are held on a weekend. If an event is divided
into sections (eg Open & Under 1600) then it will still qualify, as long
as the combined sections are open to all players.
The decisions of the CAQ Council will be final on all matters.
Participation
Bonus
Greater Brisbane (including Redcliffe) 10 points
Gold Coast 10 points
Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast 20 points
Bundaberg 25 points
Regional Qld 30 points

GARDINER
CHESS CENTRE FOR SALE
FOR SALE!
The Gardiner
Chess Centre property is up for sale! Graeme and Wendy have come
to a time in their lives where they want to be able to travel and do other
things.
However, the chess business itself is not for sale and they will be
concentrating on developing their core business of providing an excellent
service for schools, with coaching, interschool tournaments, product sales,
etc.
Gardiner
Chess will continue to offer an afternoon chess club on at least one day a
week, and school holiday programmes, but all of these will be from a
different premises in the Mudgeeraba locality.
The
Gardiner Chess website will continue to inform all those interested in chess.
The Centre is approved as a child
care centre, but there are many other possibilities.
See http://www.davidbrown.net.au/ for details.

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.
