Question 1: How much does each event cost and how does it work out if I am playing doubles?
Answer:  Each event costs £5.00. If you are taking part in doubles then you will have to provide the name of your partner in your form that you submit. If it is a doubles event then you will have to pay £10.00 (one for you and one for your partner).

Question 2: Will my partner also have to fill in the form?
Answer:  Yes.  Your partner will still have to fill in the form in order to capture the personal details, however no need to pay extra since you have already paid for him/her - unless you wish to be generous :) .

Question 3: Comment field for partner?
Answer:  Yes.  Your partner should write in the comments section that he/she is playing with you and the payment has been done.

Question 3: Will my money be refunded if I don’t turn-up?
Answer:  Yes.  Provided you inform the organisers well in advance. If there is no intimation of you whatsoever about your absence then the money will not be refunded. Intimation of cancellation by SMS will NOT be accepted.  You should ensure that your request for absence (last minute cancellation) is acknowledged by the organiser appropriately.

Question 4: What are the Modes of Payment

Answer:As of now we are accepting paypal or cash.  We are looking forward to a direct online payment whose details will be provided to you shortly.

Paypal
Most you might now be fully aware of this tried and proven method of payment. However, if you don’t have a paypal account and would like to go for it then please visit www.paypal.co.uk

You will be notified once the money is received and receipt provided in due course (either during the practice sessions or during the tournament)

Cash

If you have paid this to any individuals (as mentioned in contact details) then please note down the name and the amount you have handed in.

Question 1: How and when will I know with whom will I be playing?
Answer:  The lots will be done a week in advance.  They will be posted on this website and also e-mailed to you separately.

Question 2: What is the criteria for lots?
Answer:  The lots will be cast in a completely blind way i.e. with the names of all the contestants on different chits and then they will be drawn out.

Question 3: What time will I have to arrive for the tournaments?
Answer:  We would want you to arrive at the venue at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time.  However, if you are late by 15 minutes then the opponent will be given bye and the tournament will move on.

Question 1: Do I have to bring my own chess board?
Answer:  Yes.

Question 1: Will we be provided with the TT racket and ball or do we have to bring our own?
Answer:  Rackets and balls will be provided. However, it is highly recommended to bring your own because it turns out to be personal choice of the players to have a certain quality of the racket.

Question 2: What scoring system will be used?
Answer:  New rules will be used. They will be explained to you either during the practice or before the tournament.  Alternatively you can read it from the relevant web sites.
