This is one of the critical controls to ensure the players are playing the games independently. Players and TDs are not allowed to record the meeting at any time during the tournament. Players using iPad may have an issue losing the video display if they switch to lichess window. It's recommeded to use a PC or laptop to play, or using a separate device to log in the Zoom to display the player while playing on iPad.

Text chatting is prohibited except the break between the rounds. 

6. Read FAIR PLAY AGREEMENT. Parents, please talk to your children about ethical play online. Signing up the event means the players have read and accepted clauses in the AGREEMENT.

7. All results are considered Unofficial until the full post-game review is done, which will take 3-7 days. All games may be reviewed for cheating, with more focus on higher ranked participants. Suspicous games will be reviewed by the TDs and at least one more Board Executive. If cheating is confirmed, the player's ID will be reported to lichess. Lichess has a very good cheating detection system so they can make the final call. The ID will be banned by lichess if the case is confirmed. The offending player's score in the tournament will be forfeit and will be banned by CJCC online team from participating in future online tournaments.
