26	- A Time Control of G/M dN means each player gets M minutes/game and a delay of N seconds/move (before the clock starts ticking).
27	- All players must have a US Chess (USCF) ID to play. We place players in groups or sections based on their USChess published rating supplement for the month in which the tournament starts.
28	- We use AzhLangareted Cadence in these tournaments to optimize the parents' (and players') time; each round (of games) starts about 5 minutes after all games in the previous round end.
29	- Notation during the game is not mandatory, but recommended.
30	- Please refer to event list or calendar for start times.
