- After tournament game is finished either player must post a link to the game to the tournament thread where their pairing were announced.

I highly recommend to read the full rules on the link above before registering.

But if by some reason you're can't or don't want to read it, just make sure that you could schedule each week a game duration of ~4 hours at long of 7 weeks starting from 12 September (12 September ~ 31 October).
You should also be ready to shift your schedule (if needed) to play the game on the time appropriate for both you and your opponent who might be from different timezone.
Inactivity is strongly not encouraged and penaltied in the tournament.

If you are interested and able to participate in that kind of long run, please join the tournament! ;)
