Прочитал на ПАИ : цитата-" с 1 января 2012 года вступит в силу запрет на предложение ничьей до 40-го хода в шахматной партии. Решение об этом было принято Европейским шахматным союзом в начале ноября. Впрочем, для российских шахматистов это не такая уж новость: правило начало действовать на большинстве отечественных турниров уже в нынешнем году. Теперь же оно будет распространено на все соревнования, чтобы отбор к Кубку и Чемпионату мира проходил по единым правилам". http://informpskov.ru/news/86799.html

Правда что ли?

Интересно!
Неужели и правда это имеет место, на сайте рос федерации шахмат ничего вроде не нашел, может быть было какое-нибудь заседание судейской коллегии РШФ?

Как показал анализ шахматных правил утвержденных Европейским шахматным союзом, во всех официальных соревнованиях проводимых этой организацией нельзя предлагать ничью ранее 40 хода (пункт 3,2 европейских правил

3.2. In ECU competitions communication between players (the offer of draw) is forbidden until the 40th move has been played.
Senior events are excluded from this regulation.
)
Источник: http://europechess.net/index.php?option ... d=2:slides

Но согласно утвержденным в России правилам(приказ минспорта от 21 ноября 2011 года) это регламентируется положением о соревновании.

Статья 9: Ничья.
9.1.1. Положение о соревновании может устанавливать, что игроки не могут соглашаться на ничью раньше определенного числа ходов, или без разрешения арбитра.

По моему на форуме это даже не вспоминали и не обсуждали, но это имеет смысл сказать...
Шахматные часы DGT 2010 образца выпуска 2009г и 2010г(и скорее всего 2011г тоже :idea: ) не имеют возможности поставить режим с добавлением таким образом чтобы при одном упавшем флаге часы оппонента продолжали идти, получается что если к примеру в контроле 3мин+2сек падает флаг у кого либо, то часы противоположной стороны останавливаются и прекращают идти, выйграть можно только поставив мат либо в надежде что противник не заметит упавшего флага и будет продолжать играть. Во первых это неправильно, во вторых нарушается правило(точнее сказать НЕ ВЫПОЛНЯЕТСЯ) двух упавших флагов :!: когда должна быть зафиксирована ничья, в третьих в инструкции к часам (2009-2010гг выпуска) есть ошибка, я не воспроизведу ее точно, позже напишу дословно но суть в том что там написано "при окончании времени у одного из участников-игра заканчивается..." Прескорбно что те кто программировал платы в часах не очень хорошо ознакомился с правилами. Получается что эти часы не соответствуют требованиям фиде - это опять же нарушение...
По всей видимости придется корректировать положения некоторых соревнований, потому как если в каком либо турнире с добавлением у кого то упадет флаг и часы оппонента не будут идти(к примеру у одного 0-00 у другого 0-02 сек, т.е есть вероятность что другой не заметит падения флага и будут у обоих нули и соответственно ничья) и слабеющая сторона по времени никогда не сможет выиграть(если разумеется не поставит мат)
Вот такие мысли

P.S
Дело не касается часов DGT 2010 XL которые имеют возможность подключения к электронным доскам, в них предусмотрен контроль фишера с добавлением при котором время продолжает идти при одном упавшем флаге.

Конечно для блица ситуация в которой у одной стороны упал флаг, и часы остановились не совсем приятная.
А вот , что касается классического контроля или быстрых шахмат например, то по правилам в случае окончания времени у одного из участников, судья должен это зафиксировать. Поэтому можно считать, что часы помогают судье.

Да в этом случае нужно всегда при добавлении обеспечивать нужное количество судей на турнире, чтобы применить правила классических шахмат. Хотя похоже нужно в ФИДЕ жалобу подавать на такие часы :D

Version 2012/01

A. Preface

At the occasion of the General Assembly 2001 of the European Chess Union (ECU) in Leon (Spain) the tournaments rules for all ECU competitions are re-written. The ECU Board requested the International Arbiters Dirk De Ridder and Werner Stubenvoll to fulfil this task for two main reasons:
1) since the change of the FIDE-statutes in 1998 the continents obtained more independence which has its consequences on the financial regulations of the continental championships.
2) the ECU Board aims to streamline all specific tournaments rules as much as possible.

Therefore all interested organisers (federations, clubs,…) should first start reading the general rules and then the specific rules for one of the ECU competitions. Thereafter bids can be put forward according to the procedure described in the relevant chapter.

Organisers should bear in mind that the rules of a given tournament are composed of the General Tournament Regulations and the Specific Tournament Rules and therefore both should be distributed to participants!

In these Rules the words "he", "him" and "his" include "she" and "her".


B. General Tournament Regulations
1. Participation
1.1 A European Chess Union (abbreviated hereinafter to “ECU”) chess federation is a federation that belongs to one of the FIDE Zones 1.1 to 1.10.
1.2 All ECU Chess Federations shall have the right to participate in the European Individual and Team Competitions, irrespective of gender or age.
1.2.1 Women or girls competitions are exclusively for female players. Female players are allowed to participate in any competition.
1.3 All players participating in the European Individual and Team Championships must be entitled by birth, citizenship or naturalisation to represent their Federation.
1.3.1 A player who has resided for at least three years in a country of which he is not a citizen after the date on which FIDE shall have received notification of change of Federation and who proves that he has applied for citizenship in that country or intends to do so as soon as the legal requirements are fulfilled may become a team member of a Federation after a thorough examination and clearance of the case by the FIDE President.
1.3.2 Provided that a player did not participate in a FIDE competition including continental Individuals and Team events 5 years prior to the date of notification, the period of residence shall be reduced to 2 years in his new Federation before he can play for this Federation.
1.3.3 Players who are up to and under the age of 14 years prior to the day of notification, the period of residence shall have reduced to 1 year in his new Federation before he can play for this Federation.
1.3.4 A player with dual citizenship may only represent one Federation and is eligible by citizenship to participate on condition that he has not represented any other Federation in any FIDE team or individual competition at any time in the preceding year.
1.4 Players not belonging to an ECU chess federation shall have the right to participate in the European Club Cups on the condition that they fulfil the rules regarding foreigners of this ECU competition.
1.5 Teams or players of ECU Federations may be excluded by the ECU Board from ECU competitions if they are not in order with their payments to ECU of FIDE.
2. Frequency of the championships
2.1 Each ECU competition is organised annually.
2.2 The European Team Championship is organised biennially, namely in the year in which no FIDE Chess Olympiad is held.
3. Laws of chess
3.1 The general FIDE laws shall be applied with their supplements and interpretations as laid down by the “FIDE Rules Commission”.
3.2. In ECU competitions communication between players (the offer of draw) is forbidden until the 40th move has been played.
Senior events are excluded from this regulation.
4. Tournament systems
4.1 Individual competitions have to be played according to one of the Swiss Pairing Systems approved by the “Swiss Pairing Committee of the FIDE”.
4.2 Team competitions have to be played according to the “Swiss System for Team Competitions” (chapter M).
4.3 Pairings are allowed to be done by computers on the condition that the computer programme has been accepted by the “FIDE Swiss Pairing Committee”.
5. Rate of play
5.1 In each ECU competition only electronic clocks shall be used. Consequently a rate of play in which a player receives additional time before making each move should be applied.
5.2 The electronic clocks have to be approved by FIDE.

5.3 In general the rate of play will be the same as in the respective World Championship. Exceptions can be made by the ECU Board.
5.4 No games will be adjourned.
6. Scoring and tie-breaking system
6.1 The score in each game is 1 for a win, ½ for a draw and 0 for a lost game.
6.2 Tie-breaking in individual competitions.
The order of players that finish with the same number of points shall be determined by application of the following tie-breaking procedures in sequence, proceeding from (a) to (b) to (c) to (d) the extent required:
(a) Performance Rating, the highest number wins;
(b) Buchholz cut-1, the highest number wins;
(c) Buchholz, the highest number wins;
(d) Number of wins, the highest number wins.
In the case of unplayed games for the calculation of (a), (b) and (c) the current FIDE Tournament Rules shall be applied.
In the case there are less than 75% rated players, the following criteria will be applied:
(a) Buchholz cut-1, the highest number wins;
(b) Buchholz, the highest number wins;
(c) Number of wins, the highest number wins.
6.3 Scoring and tie-breaking in team competitions.
6.3.1 The sum of scores of each game in a match is referred to as the board points.
The team which scores more board points in a match than its opponents receives two match points, the opponents receives no match points. In the case a match ends in such a way that the sum of the board points is equal to that of its opponents, each team receives one match point.
The ranking will be made according to match points, the team obtaining the highest number of match points being declared the winner of the competition. In case of equality, B.6.3.2 shall be applied.
6.3.2 The order of teams that finish with the same number of match points shall be determined by application of the following tie-breaking procedures in sequence, proceeding from (a) to (b) to (c) to (d) the extent required:
(a) by the number of board points won, the highest number wins;
(b) by the sum of the board points of all team's opponents, the highest number wins;
(c) by the sum of the board points of all opponents defeated plus one half of the board points of all the opponents with which a tied result was achieved, the highest number wins;
(d) by the sum of the board points of all the team's opponents, excluding the opponent who scored the highest number of board points and the opponent who scored the lowest number of board points, the highest number wins.
7. Individual prizes in team competitions
7.1 The players who obtained the best individual results on their respective boards shall receive gold medals. Silver and bronze medals shall be awarded to the second and third place winners.
7.1.1 For this purpose the players performance score is calculated if the player takes part in at least 70% of the rounds (for basic players) or 50% of the rounds (for reserve players).
The highest performance wins. In case of a tie it shall be broken by:
(a) mutual results (if all played each other);
(b) median Buchholz, the highest number wins;
(c) average rating of opponents, the highest number wins.
For calculating of performance rating the maximum rating difference of two players shall be 400 points. In the case of unplayed games for all calculations the current FIDE Tournament Rules shall be applied.
8. Organisation
8.1 Each of the ECU competitions is organised by one of the ECU Chess Federations. Every ECU Chess Federation is entitled to organise an ECU competition itself or attribute the organisation to another body, e.g. a club or a private organisation. In the following, however, reference will always be made to the organising ECU Chess Federation, hereafter abbreviated “organiser”.
8.2 The organisation of an ECU competition is granted by the ECU General Assembly or the ECU Board in accordance with the bid procedure.

8.4.3 In case of any violation of the signed contract the ECU Board has the right to keep a part of the deposit fee or the whole amount.
8.4.4 After a decision according to 8.4.3 the respective organiser has the right to forward a written protest to the next ECU General Assembly. Such a protest must be accompanied with a sum equal to 30 % of the amount the ECU Board has kept. If the protest is rejected this sum is forfeited to ECU; if the protest is accepted both amounts will be paid back.
8.4.5 The decision of ECU General Assembly is final.
8.5 At least five months before the beginning of an ECU competition the organising federation will send a draft of the letter of invitation to the ECU President, the ECU Secretary General and the ECU Tournament Director.

9.4 In youth tournaments the board and lodging expenses from the official day of arrival to the breakfast of the day of departure shall be covered by the organising federation for (a) the player(s) or team designated by its federation, (b) the player(s) with a personal right, and (c) the chief of the delegation. For each of these persons the organising federation may require a maximum financial contribution of 150 € per player. The amount may be increased in exceptional cases after approval of the ECU Board. The organising federation shall state in the letter of invitation the daily cost of board and lodging for the participants and accompanying persons not covered by the above.
9.5 In each competition an entry fee has to be paid for the player or the team.
9.5.1 Unless stated otherwise in the letter of invitation, the entry fees stipulated in the ECU Financial Regulations shall be paid by the federations to ECU before or at the start of the competition.

10. Arbiters and other officials
10.1 Each organiser of an ECU competition will propose two persons for the position of Chief Arbiter.

10.3 The organising chess federation is responsible for the expenses of the Chief Arbiter (travelling costs - either air travel or first class rail travel with sleeping car - living expenses and pocket money) and shall also foresee a stipend.
10.4 The organising chess federation will appoint the necessary assistant arbiters and other officials (cf. 1.10.5 and 1.10.6).
10.5 If the organising federation wants to appoint a Tournament Director for an ECU competition she will ask the approval of the ECU President.
10.6 If the organising federation wants to appoint a Pairing Officer for an ECU competition she will ask the approval of the ECU President.
10.7 If the organising federation wants to appoint an official as defined sub 1.10.5 and 1.10.6 from another Federation than the organising federation, she will be responsible for the expenses (travelling costs - either air travel or first class rail travel with sleeping car - living expenses and pocket money) and shall also foresee a stipend.
10.8 The Chief Arbiter is responsible that the competition will be played according to the FIDE Rules and the ECU Tournament Rules. He shall have the task of overseeing and co-ordinating the work of all the arbiters and technical staff.
10.9 The Tournament Director shall be competent for all matters of organisation outside the tournament hall.
10.10 The Pairing Officer is responsible to the Chief Arbiter.

11. Appeals committee
11.1 The chairman of the appeals committee will be nominated by the ECU President.
11.2 In the case of the Individual European Chess Championship (Men and Women) and the European Team Championship the ECU President will nominate two appeal committee members.
11.3 In the case of the other ECU competitions four appeal committee members shall be selected before the beginning of the tournament (e.g. at the occasion of the Captain’s Meeting). These members shall be elected by the players. In the case of team competitions the members may be elected by the team captains. The first two elected will be effective members, the last two elected will be reserve members. If the federation of the chairman or a member of the Appeals Committee is concerned in an appeal, the chairman shall replace this person by one of the reserve members.
11.4 In all cases the nominated or elected Appeals Committee members shall belong to different ECU federations. None of these members shall belong either to the organising federation or to the chief arbiter’s federation.
11.4.1 In the case of a fully nominated Appeals Committee, this Committee will take a decision irrespective of the federation(s) involved in the appeal.
11.5 Procedure of appeals.
Protests, including protests against decisions of the Chief Arbiter or his assistants, or the Tournament Director, must be submitted in written form to the Chairman of the appeals committee within one hour after completion of the playing session.
The protest must be accompanied with the sum of 100 € or the equivalent in local currency, as a deposit from the signatory. The deposit must be handed to the Chairman of the appeals committee. If the appeal is granted, the sum shall be returned immediately. If the appeal is refused, the deposit is forfeited to the European Chess Union.
11.5.1 In individual competitions the appeal has to be lodged by the player.
11.5.2 In team competitions the appeal has to be lodged by the team captain or – if present and known before the start of the competition – by the chief of delegation.
11.6 The decisions of the Appeals Committee are final.
12. Team captains
12.1 In team competitions each team must have a team captain.
12.1.1 The team captain may be one of the players or any of the reserves of the team, in which case he is referred to as a “playing captain”. If he is no player of the team he is referred to as a “non-playing captain”.
12.1.2 Each team is entitled to have only one team captain. The team captain may appoint a deputy to exercise his function but must inform the Chief Arbiter of this in writing. However, during the course of playing only one team captain will be allowed into the playing area.
12.2.1 The chief of delegation is not allowed to enter the playing area.
12.3 Team composition
12.3.1 The team captain must list the players of his team in a fixed board order, upon the time appointed by the Chief Arbiter before the start of the first round; this list is called the final players list. The board order cannot be altered during the tournament; hence reserves may play on the bottom boards only.
12.3.2 Before the start of a round, the team captain must deliver to the Chief Arbiter a list of the team members who are to take part in the round in question.
12.3.3 If this list is not delivered by the appointed time, the team may not use its reserve players. Every deviation from a board order 1,…, N (with N the number of boards in the competition) will result in the loss of the game(s) in question.
12.3.4 If the board order in which a team plays differs from the board order of its final players list, this will result in the loss of the game(s) in question.
12.3.5 The use of any player who does not figure in the final players list will cause the round to be forfeited N:0, in which N is the number of boards in the competition.
12.4 The basic duties and rights of a team captain are defined in the FIDE Tournament Rules.
12.4.1 In the exercise of his function the team captain has the right of access to the area reserved for the players, but it is his duty to ensure that the members of his team who are not involved in the current match or have finished their games do not enter or remain in this area.
12.4.2 During the games the captain must refrain from interfering in any way. He is, however, entitled to advise his players on the offering or accepting of draws or resigning of games, provided that he makes no comment on the actual position on the chess board, and confines himself to giving brief information which can in no way be regarded as an opinion about the progress of the game. The exchange of information should be done in the presence of the Arbiter.
12.4.3 At the end of the playing session, the captain is responsible both for reporting the result to the arbiters and for delivering to them legibly written score sheets of the finished games.
13. Dress Code for the participants and the officials (excluding Youth Championships)
13.1 All participants as well as the officials (arbiters, captains and others being in the playing area) must comply with the Dress Code of the ECU.
Participants and officials will present themselves in a neat and clean appearance.

N. Swiss Pairing Rules for European Team Competitions
1. Basic Pairing System
1.1 The basic pairing system shall be the Controlled Swiss System Pairings using Match Points for both Pairing and Scoring.
2. Odd Number of Participating Teams
2.1 The organising federation shall be entitled to enter an additional team. If there is an odd number of participating teams the organising federation has the right to enter a second additional team. If this second additional team is paired and plays round 1 it shall remain in the tournament to the conclusion even when a team or teams dropping out or a new team or teams arriving subsequently would result in an odd number of teams still in competition.
3. Ranking of Teams for Pairing Purposes
3.1 Obtain a list of all teams participating and full names of all players of each team. All teams have to finish their players' lists before the captain's meeting at the start of the tournament.
3.2 Record the FIDE rating of each team member having such a rating.
3.3 Assign an arbitrary rating equal to the minimum FIDE rating to team members who have no FIDE rating.
3.4 Rank all teams in order of the average of their highest FIDE rated players. For this purpose the average is taken for the number of players equal to the number of boards in the competition. The team with the highest average rating shall be assigned Pairing Number 1, the second highest, Pairing Number 2, etc.
4. Byes
4.1 If there is an odd number of teams a bye should be given to one team which arbitrarily would be credited with a number of points equal to half the number of boards.
4.2 The team given the bye in the first round would be that team which had the highest ranking number.
4.3 The team given the bye in subsequent rounds would be that team with the highest ranking number from the group with the lowest total number of match points.
No team shall receive more than one bye.
4.5 If the number of participating teams is more than twice the number of rounds the team having the bye is credited one match point. If the number of participating teams is less than twice the number of rounds the team having the bye is credited two match points.
5. General Pairing Regulations
5.1 Assign a pairing number to each team as per Section 3.
5.2 The difference of the scores of two teams paired against each other should be 0 or, if this is not possible, as small as possible.
5.3 No team shall play the same opponent more than once.
5.4 A team having scored without playing will not receive a bye. This is the case when a team has received a bye due to an odd number of teams or when one of the opponent teams did not appear on time
5.5 Pairings shall be made from the top group down to, but not including, the middle group; then from the bottom group up to, but not including, the middle group, and finally the middle group. The middle group shall be defined as that group in which the median team in the standings is located. If there is an even number of teams being paired, the lower of the two middle teams shall be considered as the median team.
Example: Suppose there are 88 teams:
Place
...
43 10 points
44 10 points
Median team 45 9 points
46 9 points
...
Therefore, the 9 point group is the middle group.
6. Detailed Pairings Procedure
6.1 For the pairings of the first round, assume that there are 2N teams, ranked according to section C. The first team is paired with the N + 1 team; the second team is paired with N + 2; … team N is paired with team 2N.
6.2 After the 1st round, teams in a score group (including 'floaters' from another score group) shall be arranged in the order of their board points. The team with the highest board points shall be No. 1 in the group. Teams with the same board points shall be arranged in the order of their initial pairing numbers.
Example: Order in Group Board Points Pairing Number
1 24.5 8
2 23 3
3 23 5
4 22.5 1
5 22.5 11
6 21.5 7
6.3 In each median score group or higher, priority shall be given to pairing the highest team (i.e. the team with the highest board points) with the lowest team in that group that it has not already played. The second highest team shall be paired with the second lowest team, etc.
6.4 To illustrate the procedure, suppose there are six teams in a score group, ordered 1 through 6 as described in rule 6.2. There will be 15 combinations of pairing within the group, in the following descending order of priority.
(1) 1 x 6, 2 x 5, 3 x 4
(2) 1 x 6, 2 x 4, 3 x 5
(3) 1 x 6, 2 x 3, 4 x 5
(4) 1 x 5, 2 x 6, 3 x 4
(5) 1 x 5, 2 x 4, 3 x 6
(6) 1 x 5, 2 x 3, 4 x 6
(7) 1 x 4, 2 x 6, 3 x 5
(8) 1 x 4, 2 x 5, 3 x 6
(9) 1 x 4, 2 x 3, 5 x 6
(10) 1 x 3, 2 x 6, 4 x 5
(11) 1 x 3, 2 x 5, 4 x 6
(12) 1 x 3, 2 x 4, 5 x 6
(13) 1 x 2, 3 x 6, 4 x 5
(14) 1 x 2, 3 x 5, 4 x 6
(15) 1 x 2, 3 x 4, 5 x 6
6.5 If there is an uneven number of teams in a group, the same procedure is followed and the remaining team is floated to the next score group (provided it is not a floater from another score group) and is paired with the first team of this group it has not played yet.
6.5.1 No team shall receive an identical float in consecutive rounds provided a pairing in the remaining group is possible without having additional floaters.
6.6 To illustrate the procedure, suppose there are 5 teams in a group. There will be 15 combinations of pairing within the group, in the following descending order of priority:
(1) 1 x 5, 2 x 4, 3 floater
(2) 1 x 5, 2 x 3, 4 floater
(3) 1 x 5, 3 x 4, 2 floater
(4) 1 x 4, 2 x 5, 3 floater
(5) 1 x 4, 2 x 3, 5 floater
(6) 1 x 4, 3 x 5, 2 floater
(7) 1 x 3, 2 x 5, 4 floater
(8) 1 x 3, 2 x 4, 5 floater
(9) 1 x 3, 4 x 5, 2 floater
(10) 1 x 2, 3 x 5, 4 floater
(11) 1 x 2, 3 x 4, 5 floater
(12) 1 x 2, 4 x 5, 3 floater
(13) 2 x 5, 3 x 4, 1 floater
(14) 2 x 4, 3 x 5, 1 floater
(15) 2 x 3, 4 x 5, 1 floater
[If, for example, No. 2 is a floater from an upper score group, pairings (3), (6) & (9) are not valid].
6.7 If the group from which the floater has been dropped is such that a complete pairing of all remaining teams in the group cannot be made, or if the floater has already played every team in the next group, then the floater shall be moved back to its original group, trying the next possible pairing according to the order of priority. If a complete pairing of all teams in two adjacent groups cannot be made, then these two groups shall be considered as one group, and rules 6.2 – 6.6 shall accordingly apply.
6.7.1 In the case the median score group contains floaters coming from higher score groups and floaters coming from lower score groups they shall not be paired each other.
6.8 In any group below the median group priority shall be given to pairing the lowest team (i.e. the team with the lowest board points) in the group and the same pattern of pairing shall apply as outlined in rules 6.3 – 6.7 but in reverse order.
7. Colour allocation
7.1 Team pairings are made without regard of colour. (This has the advantage of providing more accurate team pairings with fewer rules being necessary relating to selection of opponents and dropping of one team from an odd numbered group of teams with the same score).
7.2 In the first round the colour assigned to board 1 of the team ranked number 1 shall be selected by lot. All other odd numbers in the top half of the ranking list shall receive the same colour in the first round on board 1 as the team ranked number 1.
7.3.1 No team's board 1 colour difference will become >+2 or <-2.
7.3.2 No team's board 1 will receive the same colour three times in row.
7-4-1 If in a score group a complete pairing is only possible without applying rule 7.3.1 or 7.3.2, such a pairing will then be made.
7.4.2 If in an odd score group a complete pairing is only possible by choosing another floater, another floater will be chosen.
7.5 After the team pairings have been made, colours shall be assigned based on giving priority to:
7.5.1 equalisation of colours on board 1 (regardless of who has played or is playing board 1 and regardless of what colours the particular player assigned to board 1 has had), and
7.5.2 alternation of colours on board 1. The colours on the remaining board shall alternate with the player on board 3 having the same colour as the player on board 1.
7.6 If both teams have had white the same number of times on board 1 and have had opposite colours on board 1 in the immediately preceding round the colours shall be assigned to board 1 to provide alternation for each team from the colour it had in the previous round.
7.7 If both teams have had white the same number of times on board 1 the colours shall be assigned to board 1 to provide the lowest sequence of the same colour for both teams.
7.8 If both teams have had white the same number of times on board 1 and have had exactly the same sequence of colours, then priority shall be given to:
(a) balancing the colour on board 1 of the team with the higher ranked team, or
(b) alternation of colour on board 1 of the higher ranked team from the last round.
7.9 If both teams have had white the same number of times on board 1 and have had exactly the same sequence of colours, and each team has had the same number of whites and blacks on board 1, then the colour on board 1 of the higher ranked team shall be alternated from the last round.
7.10 The teams ranked first in the pairing list will have the white pieces on the odd-numbered boards, the black pieces on the even-numbered boards.
8. Miscellaneous
8.1 The pairings are to be made by the Chief Arbiter. Alternatively pairings can be made by a Pairings Officer or Pairings Committee. The Pairings Committee should consist of up to three members, each from a different ECU federation.
8.2 In the cases in which there is a Pairings Officer or Pairings Committee, the Tournament Director or his officially designated appointee shall provide the Pairings Officer or the Chairman of the Pairings Committee with a signed summary of results as they are available. This should ensure that accurate results of the previous round's play are used in making the pairings for the subsequent round.
8.3 Pairings shall be made by computer if a computer is available and if the computer program has been tested and approved by the Chairman of the Pairings Committee. Computer terminals should be in a room near the playing hall and fully dedicated to the use of the Pairings Commit¬tee as and when required. If a computer is used for preparing the daily bulletins of the game scores, a separate terminal in a separate room should be provided for those preparing the bulletin.
The computer pairings do not have to be 100% in agreement with handmade pairings to be acceptable although if there is no difference between the outcome of the pairings made by the computer and those made (by hand) by the Pairings Committee the final decision lies with the Chairman of the Pairings Committee.
8.4 Pairings by team including allocation of colours shall be posted as soon as possible after the Pairings Officer or Committee has finished of making the pairings.
8.4.1 The match order in the pairing list will be made according to the actual ranking.
8.5 Pairings by players shall be posted not later than two hours before the start of the round in the tournament hall.
8.6 No protest against the pairing shall be allowed.



Explanation by IA Dr. Dirk J.A. De Ridder
1. In contrast to the system developed by IA Almog Burstein which is used at the Olympiad and which was used at the occasion of the European Club Cup in Neum (BIH, 2000) no extended Buchholz points have to be calculated whereas the board points are immediately available.
2. Meaningful extended Buchholz points can only be calculated after round 4; at the occasion of the European Club Cup in Neum (BIH, 2000) it became clear that this calculation was not obvious for the participating teams.
3. The system proposed here offers the advantage that one pairing system is applied throughout a competition. Application of the Olympiad system at the occasion of the European Club Cup in Neum (BIH, 2000) resulted in the criticism that the pairings were hardly to be understood by the participating teams.
4. The system proposed here is based on the observation that, in general, a team with a high number of board points will have a low amount of extended Buchholz points and vice versa.

Игрок не должен делать ответный ход до тех пор, пока его часы не пущены.

Сергей, надо бы повесить такие разъяснения в клубе и ШШ, чтобы раз и навсегда прекратить не нужные дискуссии во время турниров.

А как контролируется процесс, видеосъемка у каждых часов , у каждого игрока время течет по своему, своя скорость зрения, в том числе и у судьи. Доказать - невозможно, за исключением явных случаев.

Там играют на электронных часах. С ними таких эксцессов не бывает. Электронные доски тоже четко определяют эти позиции, правда если блиц все же идет с добавлением-чтоб часы не ломать.
