Note: Times are ICC server time, that is New York Time.

By March 11, the U.S. will switch to daylight savings time, while Europe switches on March 26 only. That means that the time difference between Central European Time and server time will be five hours. The starts of qualifiers will be thus 20:00 and 01:00 Central European Time, respectively, on every day.

You can check current ICC server time and compare to your local time by typing “date” while on ICC. All qualifiers have 12 rounds (Swiss pairings). The time control is 4 1. To play in this tournament, you must sign up via the website http://www.doshermanas.net/aje_8torneo.asp.

The tourney registration form there is technically on the ICC website, so it’s safe to enter your password on that form. You can verify that you’re signed up via “finger”, as you will be placed in a group DosHermanas. Please make sure to sign up at least one hour before the first qualifier you intend to play in. One registration is enough to be able to play in all qualifiers.

Once you’ve signed up, all you need to do is log in at least 15 minutes before the tournament is to start, and look for directions from pear(TD). The tourney channel is channel 227. To help ensure a level playing field and no computer cheating, we are requiring all participants to use Blitzin, version 2.5x or Dasher 1.01 or later versions.

Participants must give their real name, country, and FIDE title when signing up. This information will be made public. The additional information, like playing location will not be made public.
