_______________________________________________
I have only two automatic rules for removal of players
from this team:
_______________________________________________
1) If you leave Gameknot for more than 21 days without
letting me know you'd like to remain 'inactive' till some
time in the future.
_______________________________________________
2) If you lose a number of games by 'timing out' and fail
to contact me IMMEDIATELY (next time you log on). The
first time this happens I will decide whether to remove
you or not, based on previous form.
_______________________________________________
Any other matters of internal team discipline, such as
complaints of unsporting or uncivil conduct, will be
checked and dealt with individually with no favour or
prejudice shown to any team member.
_______________________________________________
That's all the formal stuff. Let's enjoy some good chess
and lets get ourselves back up the team rankings!
Play hard and fair, and above all never give up!
