for your reference.
The tournaments may require a 'house-player(s)'
The 'house-player' fills in when there are an uneven number of players for any round. The addition of the 'house player' avoids the situation where a player
is awarded a bye. There is no guarantee that the house player would be required in any given week - I would say it is roughly a 50% possibility.
If you are interested in acting as a 'house player' please contact me (Tony) - chessmanitoba at gmail.com
ideally you are a CFC member - No entry fee for the tournament is required, but in the circumstance that you win a prize - an entry fee will be deducted from the prize. So, in essence, the 'house player' is free-rolling.
