Please note: USCF membership required for all players. GCA membership required for GA residents. All equipment supplied. Players may use theirs; however, any clock used must have time increment capability, and the player providing it must know how to set this function.

The first part of Rule 15C will not be in effect – a player in time pressure must still keep score.
