The offending player's score in the tournament will be forfeit and will be banned from future CJCC online and offline tournaments for:

a) two months following the first offence.

b) 12 months following a second offence.

c) Lifetime ban following a third offence.

If a player’s ID in lichess.org/chess.com is banned/closed by the platform due to the violation of fair play but outside of any CJCC organized events, the new request to join CJCC team on the platform will be deferred for 2 months from the date of the banishment.

Paid membership fee will not be refunded for the banned period.

8. Get familiar with Swiss Tournament rules at lichess.org/swiss. CJCC is not responsible for any loss due to the chess platform system issues.
