Vremenska kontrola i upozorenja

Igračima kojima prijeti opasnost od prekoračenja dozvoljenog vremena šalju se upozorenja putem e-pošte na adresu navedenu pri registraciji. Upozorenja se šalju sljedećom dinamikom - 1. upozorenje ako igrač ne povuče barem 10 poteza u prvih 48 dana - 2. upozorenje ako igrač ne povuče barem 20 poteza u prvih 81 dan - 3. upozorenje ako igrač ne povuće barem 30 poteza za 104 dana - 4. upozorenje ako igrač ne povuče barem 40 poteza z prvih 117 dana - 5. upozorenje ako igrač ne povuče barem 45 poteza za 145 dana - Ako igrač nakn utrošenih 121 dan ne povuče svoj 50. potez, automatski gubio partiju bez prava žalbe. U slučaju gubitka 16 partije bez borbe u roku od godine dana (odnosno uslijed prekoračenja vremena tj. partija koje mora okončati sudac turnira) igraču se privremeno zabranjuje prijava na sve turnire osim mini turnira, a u slučaju gubitka 20 i više partija igraču se zabranjuje i samostalna prijava na mini turnire - i zabrana prijave na turnire traje do onog dana kada je u posljednjih godinu dana igrač završio sve svoje partije regularnim načinom (tj. nije niti jednu partiju izgubio jednostavnim odustajanjem zbog čega je morao intervenirati sudac). Igrač koji iz nekog razloga nije u mogućnosti igrati redovito može uzeti redoviti odmor, a u slučaju bolesti može o tome izvijestiti voditelja turnira i u dogovoru s ostalim igračima produljiti rok za razmišljanje ili ga se može brisati s turnira bez posljedica

Osiguravanje kontinuiteta MINI turnita

Cilj MINI turnira je omogućiti igračima na e-dama kontinuirano sudjelovanje na manjim turnirima i kontakt s ostalim igračima Na ove turnire se može prijaviti svatko. Iz dosadašnjeg iskustva smo primijetili da dio igrača nikada ni ne započne igrati svoje partije. Ili, odigra jedan potez i nakon toga se više ne javlja. Da bismo to izbjegli i ostalim igračima omogućili zanimljivo natjecanje u kojemu sudjeluje 5 igrača, od 1.6.2012. uvodimo pravilo po kojem svaki igrač na mini turniru mora u roku od 3 tjedna nakon početka turnira odigrati u svim partijama barem po 2 poteza, inače se briše s turnira. U slučaju brisanja nekog igrača s turnira, tog igrača automatski zamjenjuje jedan od igrača koji su se doborovoljno prijavili na popis "stalnih rezervnih igrača" tj. na popis igrača koji su spremni uskakati u takvim slučajevima, kako bi se turnir nesmetano priveo kraju u punom sastavu. U toj skupini bit će ozbiljni igrači, s velikim iskustvom igranja na e-dama.net. Pokušat ćemo kao zamjenu ubaciti igrača koji je po rejtingu najbliži prosječnoj snazi preostalih igrača na turniru.

Ako želite biti u ovom timu "rezervnih igrača", molim da me kontaktirate na adresu igaly@e-dama.net
