Regulation
Purpose
The purpose of this code of conduct is to ensure that the members of the Club and any person playing in it, or organizing any Club-sanctioned activity, conduct themselves in a sporting and fair manner at all times. The more enjoyment that can be derived from playing at the Club, the more likely it is that players will continue their involvement in chess and the greater chance that new players will be attracted to our Club.
Guidelines
1. Understand and play by the rules
Understanding and playing by the rules is your responsibility.
2. Respect referees and club coach
Referees and club coach have a difficult task to perform and you could not play the game or run the Club without them. Referees are there to enforce the rules of play but, like all people, they cannot always be right. Accept their decisions graciously. Abuse of referees or coach is unacceptable behavior.
3. Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse of officials is a serious offence against the rules of chess. Verbally abusing other players or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is also not acceptable. Loss of temper is not only unpleasant for other participants in the game, it can also distract you and have an adverse effect on your concentration and effectiveness at the board. It will also distract other players nearby.
4. Be respectful during the game
It is important to give each and every opponent proper respect during the game as well as before and after it. Everyone can be late for the odd game but players who are consistently late for games may be considered disrespectful to their opponents. Players not paying attention to the game by reading at the board, listening to music at the board (even through earphones) or in any other way displaying disinterest in the game may also be considered disrespectful. Regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background, religion or other factor irrelevant to the game, all persons connected with Chess are entitled to equal treatment and respect.
5. Always respect the use of facilities and venues provided
Facilities, equipment and venues provided by the Joyful Chess Club and other organizers cost money and need to be respected by all users of the Club. Failure to do so will be considered a serious breach of the code of conduct. This includes a responsibility of all users of the facilities to clean up after themselves, whether it be litter brought to the Club, use of the Club’s utensils or other matters relating to hygiene and cleanliness.
6. For safe reason, we encourage you pick your kids up on time after the class. We will provide 10 minutes buffer time looking after your kids. If it's more than 10 minutes, we will charge 10CAD per 30 minutes for late pick up.
Refund
No refund for the absent the club activities. No refund for withdrawing the club.
Have a nice game!
