Rules:

1.  No peanut gallery.  Peanut gallery behavior will result in immediate dismissal from the tourney, or even camp itself (an idle threat really).

2.  Higher seed chooses color.

3.  White goes first.

4.  Games will not end with stalemate.  The player with more pieces in a stalemate situation wins.

5.  Check must be called.

6.  Players must shake hands after games

7.  Sportsmanship must be observed at all times

8.  Any questions about rules will be resolved by Todd.

9.  Any player who wins the tourney in two successive weeks will be handicapped by playing without a queen until he or she has lost (the "Michael P. Rule").

10.  Move is complete when one's fingers are removed from a transferred piece ("Bart McIntosh Rule").
