[ Preliminary Tournament: Detailed explanation ]      How to start games   Once connected to IGS-PANDANET please enter the main championship room when participating the main championship. When you participate the ranked championship please enter the room corresponding to your group. Games which are played in the wrong room will not count! During the tournament the drawing can be found on the IGS-PANDANET homepage. Please find your opponent in this list. The games played in the championship rooms will have automatic settings. It will always be even games with black giving 6½ komi to white. The color is decided by computer during the draw. So even when the opponent suggests another setting just accept it since it will be overruled by IGS-PANDANET anyway.      When a game is interrupted   When a game is interrupted due to a broken network connection from one side or the other, the side breaking the connection must immediately reconnect and resume the game.When the connection is broken by your opponent, please wait 5 minutes for him or her to reconnect. If the opponent does not reconnect within 5 minutes, then the game is a win for the other player, regardless of the reason. If both players are disconnected, the game is stored. The stored game will be 'No game' if it does not restart within the period of the preliminary round. In case you lose connection more than three times in a game you automatically lose the game.      Reporting results   During the tournament there will be a tournament results page on the PANDANET home page. This page will be automatically updated on each day. It is not needed to report the results of the games to us. [ ← BACK ]
