Chess clocks will be used with 10 mins per player. On semifinals and finals each player will have 15 mins.
If you touch a piece you need to move that piece, and after you let go the piece it should stay there, unless is an illegal move then you can move it somewhere else. So don’t touch the piece until you are sure.

After around 8 games, the 4 adult players and the 4 junior players with more points and who reached those points the fastest will go to the semifinals.
