Adjudication Guidelines
After the end date of the preliminaries (2013-06-01) all unfinished games are called for adjudication.
Both players involved shall submit to TD (Mariusz Wojnar) no later than 2013-06-15 statement claiming either a win or a draw (using ICCF webserver facility – “Claim win” or “Claim draw” under “Game” pull down menu from game window). Players should submit analysis to support their claim. Analysis does not necessarily mean possible variations; it also includes general plans where appropriate. Players involved will be promptly notified of the adjudicator’s decision. The adjudicator’s decision is final, without appeal.
