ICC Help: decathlon

On Saturday, September 16th, 2000, in honor of the 
Summer Olympics being held in Australia, the Tomato 
family of automated TDs will run an Olympic Decathlon
event. This event will run in lieu of the marathon 
normally held. This event is a 2 day event consisting 
of 5 events on the first day and 5 events the second day. 
As in the Olympics the decathlon measures endurance and
general overall skills. We at Chessclub.com wish to do the
same thing over the chessboard to see who has the endurance
and overall skills to become Champion. Chessclub.com Senior Manager
Silk, (our Australian representative) will have the honor of 
starting the Decathlon event on each day. Let the games begin 
and enjoy this rare event.

SCHEDULED EVENTS: (Note: All scheduled events will 
run at normal time), with the exception of Saturday u1200. 
This scheduled event will be cancelled for this decathlon.

PRIZES:
Will be split into 2 classes 1600+ and Under 1600.
Individual Event winners (2 weeks)
Overall Winners each class (1st 2 months) 
                           (2nd 1 month)
                           (3rd 2 weeks)

SCORING:
To determine prize winners, all points scored in one event 
by a player will be added to a series for the decathlon. 
The Blitz rating will be used as the basis for overall prizes.

LAG:
The managers have complete discretion in determining lag 
forfeits. If you are lagging, please do not enter the decathlon 
because the manager can and will forfeit you from the tournament. 
A general rule of thumb, which players may judge their own lag 
can be derived from the pings.  A lag time of over 5000ms 
(2000ms for bullet) is generally unacceptable. Lag times can 
be calculated by adding average ping times with standard
deviation (this can be found out by using the ping command).

COMPUTERS & ASSISTANCE:
Absolutely no aid from computer-playing programs is 
allowed. Assistance may not be received from other chess players 
during your games and you may not have someone else play on 
your ChessClub.com account for you. Either of these violates 
not only the tournament rules, but also the ChessClub.com user 
agreement, and may result in sanctions up to banning from ChessClub.com.
