1. Introduction

I am very disappointed that I am unable to attend the 2011 Congress in Finland. I would like to thank

Andrew Dearnley for agreeing to be my deputy on this occasion.

There are 11 items requiring a discussion and vote at Congress.

1/ The last year has seen the introduction of the automated e-mail service advising the Qualifications

Commissioner, Tournament Director, and National Delegate, of any Title Norm obtained. A big thank you to

Martin Bennedik for providing this service! As a result, I ask Congress to debate whether it should still be a

requirement for TD’s to also advise the QC of a Title Norm via e-mail? As far as I am aware, I have not

missed any Title Norms obtained since this service was installed and I do not wish to put TD’s to any

unnecessary work. If all delegates are happy that this automated service is working properly, I

recommend that the requirement for TD’s to advise the QC of a Title Norm is removed.

Section 2.4.1.3. of the Arbiter Manual “Confirmation of player’s title qualifications” needs to be

amended as follows:-

“B/ Title Norms are automatically advised by the webserver to the TD, National Delegate of the player

concerned, and the Qualifications Commissioner. It is not necessary for the TD to confirm the Norm unless

specifically requested to, for a particular tournament, by the Qualifications Commissioner.”

2/ My proposed change to Tournament Rule 8.9 (see Page 7 of this Report) regarding the requirements for

the International Arbiter Title.

3/ a/Request to promote Olympiad 19 Preliminaries to Title Tournaments (see page 8)

b/Change Title Tournaments Regulation 1a.(See page 8)

4/ 7(Seven) Special Applications for Titles. See the various Title pages below.

9. Proposed Change to Tournament Rule 8.9

At the ICCF Congress 2010, amendments to the Arbiter Manual were agreed which included a new quality

criteria for the award of the IA Title. Tournament Rule 8.9 now needs updating to reflect these changes. The

current Rule states:-

8.9 The title "International Arbiter of the ICCF" is not limited in time and will be awarded: (a) for four year's successful work as Tournament Director of the ICCF promotion and/or title tournaments without a break, supervising a minimum of 1,000 games. (b) for six year's successful work as Tournament Director of the ICCF promotion and/or title tournaments with a break, supervising a minimum of 1,000 games. The Arbiter’s Committee (ACO) will support the award of titles based on substantiated qualifications prior to the 1,000 game requirement.

The change to the Arbiter Manual agreed last year states:-

Any application for IA title based on quantitative criteria of Tournament Rule 8.9 has to be sent by national

CC organization to ACO before formal submission to QC. The ACO will check the time served, number of

games and qualitative aspects of the work (timely reports of norms, games archiving, delivery of information

for Marketing purposes) asking comments of other ICCF officers and Mentor TD if necessary. ACO then will

report recommendations to national CC organization and QC.

Therefore I propose new Tournament Rule 8.9 as follows ( I have also taken the opportunity to update the

list of “qualifying tournaments” which was out of date):-

Page 8: Report of the Qualifications Commissioner To the …...specifically requested to, for a particular tournament, by the Qualifications Commissioner.” 2/ My proposed change to Tournament

8

“8.9 The title "International Arbiter of the ICCF" is not limited in time and will be awarded based on

a combination of quantatitive and qualitative criteria. All applications must be submitted to the

Arbiter Committee (ACO) together with details of all qualifying tournaments and the name and e-mail

address of the TD Mentor. The ACO will check:-

(a) Time Served and Number of Games – must be a minimum of four year's successful work as

Tournament Director of ICCF qualifying tournaments* without a break, supervising a minimum of

1,000 games.

OR for six year's successful work as Tournament Director of ICCF qualifying tournaments* with a

break, supervising a minimum of 1,000 games.

(b) Quality of TD work (response to problems or queries from players, timely reports of Title norms,

games archiving, delivery of information for Marketing purposes) asking comments of the Mentor TD

and other ICCF officers if necessary.

The ACO will then confirm any recommendation for the IA Title to the national CC organisation and

the Qualifications Commissioner.

*ICCF qualifying tournaments are Promotion tournaments, Title tournaments, Thematic

tournaments, World Cups, Webserver Opens, Champions League and Direct Entry Anniversary

Open. (National tournaments, friendly international matches and unrated events not listed above shall

NOT count towards the IA Title)”

10. Special Application to Promote to Title Tournaments – Olympiad 19 Preliminaries

24 teams entered the 19th Postal Olympiad Preliminaries which is a rather awkward number. The Title

Tournaments Commissioner, after discussion with the ICCF President, decided upon three groups of eight

teams. Each player will have seven opponents but play double-round robin (playing each opponent twice) so

14 games in total.

The International Correspondence Chess Title Regulations (laid down by ICCF Congress 2002,

Seixal, Appendix D) Point 1(a) states that a Title tournament “must involve the participation of at

least 9 players”. Therefore, each board of the Olympiad Preliminaries are one player short.

This matter was discussed by e-mail and the ICCF President pointed out that, where double-round

robin was used, we have allowed other tournaments in the past to be classed as Title tournaments

and he saw no problem with this. Therefore, the Olympiad has gone ahead with Title Norms quoted

on each board.

However, retrospective special permission from ICCF Congress is required as this breaches

Title regulations. Given these tournaments have already started, and that there are ICCF’s

most important Team tournament, the Qualifications Commissioner recommends this is

agreed.

To avoid this situation in future, I recommend the following change to International

Correspondence Chess Title Regulations:-

1. An international Title tournament shall have the following requirements:

(a) it must involve the participation of at least 9 players. However, the Title Tournaments

Commissioner has authority to arrange double-round robin tournaments with less than 9

players.

It should be made clear that double-round robin Title tournaments are not to be encouraged for

Invitational tournaments and are not to become standard.
