Lichess review of our last two events is final. Payments will be made today. If you are listed as winner below, please send your PayPal via DM to @AQL547. REMINDER: "Prizes not claimed within thirty (30) days after the event [is posted] are deemed abandoned."
The Connecticut State Chess Association is a 501(c)7 nonprofit organization, the official U.S. Chess State Affiliate for the state of Connecticut, and a leader in chess competitions, programs and activities for Connecticut and online chess communities. Visit us on the web at https://www.chessct.org or email us at chess.CSCA@gmail.com.
Membership in this team is OPEN to all Lichess members, interested in competition play and activities, and regular PRIZE tournaments. Account requirements will be imposed on an event-by-event basis sufficient to accomplish Lichess Fair Play Review and discourage unethical participation.
RATING MANIPULATION: Players intentionally lowering their rating to enter a tournament with a rating limit will NOT be eligible for prizes. Please note that such rating manipulation, including playing under another's account or a new account, is considered cheating.
MEMBERSHIP & REGISTRATION: All players participating in a CSCA tournament are considered "event members" of the CSCA without registration. Unless required in the description of the tournament, registration is optional.
PRIZES: All players winning event prizes will be contacted via Lichess message for their PayPal information. Players winning in excess of $600 in a calendar year, must submit U.S. IRS form W-9 or international equivalent to the CSCA ahead of receiving payment of event prizes. Prizes are paid at least seven (7) days after the conclusion of the event (more if needed), to allow FairPlay Review and processing. Any imposed fees or taxes may reduce the final amount of the received prize. Lichess accounts that are not in good standing are prize ineligible. Prizes not claimed within thirty (30) days after the event are deemed abandoned.
Thank you.
