Player on Call Procedures
[Rules of Play] [Appendix] [Adjournments] [Adjudications] [Players on Call] [Interruptions ] [Quickplay Finishes]
If a player is on call (for work purposes):-
They must declare this on the match card before the match is started.
Where a player is 'called out', the game shall be adjourned and the elapsed times of each player noted. The game will be resumed at a venue of the opponent's choice, according to continuation Rule 4. Upon resumption, if the total time expired exceeds 1hr, then 30 minutes shall be added to the unexpired time of each player. The next time control will be at move 70 unless the game is being played to a quickplay finish. Agreements to use a quickplay finish may only be revised with the consent of both players.
If the called out player is to move, his clock must be adjusted to 5 minutes remaining, and the sealed move must be made within that time. If the opponent is to move, the 'called out' players last move shall stand as an open sealed move.
