CHESS CLOCK – If your opponent wishes to use a chess clock then you must adhere to the following rules:

1. The remaining time of the current round is divided between both coaches and is allotted equally.

2. Time/turn will be passed to you whenever it is your turn to do something. This includes kick off and setting up. This also includes moving a piece for sidestep and choosing to use an apo for example. As a rule of thumb if you are making a decision or moving a piece your time should be running.

3. Any breaks you take come out of your time. Such as toilet or refreshment breaks. The clock is not paused.

4. If your time runs out then the only actions you are allowed to complete on your turn, are to stand your players up. That is all. Anything else is not allowed.

LATE ARRIVALS:- Should you arrive for your match later than 10 minutes, a chess clock will be provided and your time will be running. This is so your opponent is not penalised due to your lateness.
