IBCO 

*****  IBCO  *****

          INTERNET BULLET CHESS ORGANIZATION

The IBCO is a bullet-chess organization for tournaments.
This was created by Superman30 at 2000 and is now managed
by TRADE. MakeLotsOfMoney also helped us in a period of
some months. The IBCO was and still is the first Organization
on ICC to run his  tournaments on Tomato Bots. Our tournaments
are at most rated, with any bullet time control. We use 1 0
,0 1, 2 1 and 2 0 as Main TC's. We are now sponsored by
MrBirdBrain and CHESSTODAY.net.

         ********      RULES      *********

1.Joining IBCO

1.1.Who can join IBCO ?

First of all, you must be registered here, at the Internet
Chess Club(ICC). That means you must have a username. If you
still aren't registered and want to get a username, type
"register". (C)omputers or computer-assisted players aren't
allowed to join IBCO.

1.2.How to be a member

Meeting the requirements above, you just need to send a
message to the "IBCO" account here, or an e-mail to
"ibco_on_icc@hotmail.com", telling your e-mail and from wich
country you are. For example : "mess IBCO I want to join IBCO,
my e-mail is ... and I am from USA". After it, you will receive
a confirmation message saying you joined us. And then, you must
also join our group, in order to receive messages about news,
tournaments, etc . Do that by typing "g-join IBCO".

We need to know from where you are and your e-mail, to keep that
information to send news, prize notifications, etc.. So, PLEASE,
who still did not gave his country / e-mail, tell us by message
or by e-mail. Thanks.

1.3.Joining Confirmation

To make things easier for all of us , we introducted the "joining
confirmation. What's that? Formerly , when you join an IBCO tourn,
you were putted directly at the members list. That caused problems,
because people didn't know what they were doing when joining the
tournament. This new idea, created on October , consist of : When a
player joins a tourn , he will get a tell and a message,with basics
information about us, and saying that he will become a member ONLY
if he answers that message confirming he wants to (as described in
article 1.2).


1.4.Joining fee

Actually, there is no need to pay anything to join IBCO, so
it's totally free.

1.5.Privileges of being a member

Being an IBCO member, you get the right to play in our weekly
tournaments (they may have prizes), and also to have your own
IBCO Rating(that has nothing to do with ICC's).
