IMPORTANT NOTES WHEN REGISTERING:
1. A "half-point bye" is a request for an unrated draw INSTEAD of playing a rated game for a particular round. PLEASE DO NOT CHECK THE BOX FOR A HALF-POINT BYE UNLESS YOU ARE COMMITING TO NOT PLAYING THAT ROUND. NOTE: The Online Registration form only allows you to request a half-point bye in the first round or the first AND second rounds of the tournament. ALL OTHER REQUESTS FOR HALF-POINT BYES MUST BE MADE IN PERSON AT THE TOURNAMENT, BEFORE Round 2 (the advertised deadline for committing to half-point byes). Players are not permitted to make changes to their half-point byes after the deadline.
2. Also, please see the Tournament Code Of Conduct: http://www.chesstour.com/nyssc24/Code-Of-Conduct.htm
3. Please bring a digital chess clock to use in the tournament!
Providing false information in order to attempt to register for a section for which a player is ineligible is grounds for disqualification from the tournament with no refund. Further penalties may also be imposed by the U.S. Chess Federation as well.
All fields marked in BOLD font are required (unless otherwise specified)!
