Due to some recent occurrences of players showing up late for the CWCC USCF-rated tournaments and then expecting to play in that particular round, the club board decided on a policy to handle these situations and to avoid any conflicts of interest. The new policy is as follows:

Unless the round is subsequently re-paired, late entrants for the weekly tournament are granted a half-point bye if one is allowed during that round. Otherwise, the late entrant receives a zero-point bye. The late entrant may then play a rated game against another available player that is recorded in an extra-rated games section. The entry fee remains the same.
