A message from the Administrator, FM Bob Smith:
"For the benefit of organisers and myself as Grand Prix Administrator, I would like to highlight the following section of the rules:
Tournament Organisers' Responsibilities
- To advise the Grand Prix Administrator at least one month before a tournament that it will be a Grand Prix event, pay the relevant NZCF levy and provide the name and contact details of a person responsible for ensuring a tournament report and games are forwarded to the "NZ Chess" magazine within a fortnight of the completion of the event.
- To ensure the Grand Prix and Grand Prix sponsor is mentioned on tournament entry forms
- To endeavour to publicise the Grand Prix and sponsor's name in any media coverage
- To make the most recent Grand Prix standings available to tournament participants at the start of the event.
- To advise the Grand Prix Administrator of the complete results within a fortnight of the completion of the tournament
If organisers follow the above rules, life will be much easier for everyone. I would also again ask organisers/directors of play to fill in junior and senior birthdates in your Swissperfect files; this makes identifying eligible players so much easier for me."
