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."
