In the final rundown to the World Cup in Lucca, you can ask here any questions you want to know the answers to before the weekend!
Most information will be on http://worldcup.luccini.it/index.htm, but you can ask here if you can’t find it.
Timekeeping
You have 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete your match. When one hour’s over,
a general notice will be given that you should be close to starting the 2nd half. If,
with one hour left, your game hasn’t started the second half yet, you and your
opponent will get a timer (chess clock). Each coach will have 30 minutes time for
all his turns left in the game.
If you’ve spent all your time and your opponent hasn’t, all you are allowed to do
is put any prone players upright and unstun any players that are stunned. You
are not allowed to take ANY other action than this.
If one or two coaches are late for the game the referees will note down your table
number and who’s late. If, with one hour left, the game hasn’t started the second
half yet, the coach who was late will get 20 minutes instead of 30. His opponent
will get 40 minutes instead of 30. If both players were late both players will get
30 minutes.
If one of the players is not at his table after 30 minutes, the other
player will win by default!
If 2 hours and 15 minutes have passed or both players’ time has run out the
game ends immediately.

Team
Every coach will receive a tournament team, made by Greebo purely for the world cup!
Boards
If you have ordered a board, this will be available at the tournament, but otherwise you need to bring your own boards. If you bring 3 boards per 6 players, then we will have enough!
