| 8.1 |
The tournament consists of the player and his opponents.
|
| 8.11 |
Games played against opponents who do not belong to
FIDE-federations or who belong to Federations which have been temporarily
excluded are not included. |
| 8.12 |
Games played against computers are not included. |
| 8.13 |
Games decided by forfeit, adjudication or any means other than

for whatever reason, shall however be included. |
| 8.2 |
The tournament must have at least 9 rounds. |
| 8.3 |
At least 80% of the players must be rated. |
| 8.31 |
Unrated players will be considered to be 2000. |
| 8.32 |
A player may ignore his result(s) against any opponents he has
defeated, provided this leaves him with at least 9 games. Nonetheless, the full
cross-table of the event must be submitted. (GA '94) |
| 8.33 |
In Zonal Tournaments the limit of 20% unrated is waived. In the
World Championship Zonals each unrated player is entered at the rating of 2100
(see 8.31). In the Women's World Championship Zonals, each unrated player is
entered at the rating of 2000. |
| 8.4 |
At least 50% of the individual players must be title-holders as
in 0.31 (but not 0.311). For exceptions see 10.2 and 10.4 (GA 98).
|
| 8.5 |
At least one-third of the players shall not come from the same
Federation as the candidate. Thus, in a 9 round event, there are 10 players
including the candidate. At least 4 opponents must be from Federations other
than his own. (Exception - see 8.8). This information must be clearly specified
in the title application form. (GA 98)
This regulation also applies to Scheveningen type tournaments.
(GA '94) |
| 8.6 |
Except for Scheveningen-type tournaments between federations,
and zonal tournaments of single-federation zones, at least three Federations
must be represented. (Exception - for player, but not for tournament, see 8.8
& 8.9). (GA '94) |
| 8.7 |
For a player who shall not come from the host federation, the
requirement of 8.5 is: No more than two-thirds + 1 players shall come from one
Federation.
e.g. 9 rounds ([2 x 10]+1)/3 leads to 7, and 13 rds.
([2x14]+1)/3 leads to 10. (Exception - see 8.8).
Provided that at least
one-third of opponents must be from federations other than his own.
|
| 8.8 |
Swiss system tournaments shall be exempt from the requirements
of sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 provided that there are at least 20 FIDE-rated
foreign players, from at least 3 federations, at least 10 of whom hold GM or IM
titles, in the tournament. This information must be clearly specified in the
title application form. (GA 98) |
| 8.9 |
(GA '96) For female title applicants, Swiss system tournaments
shall be exempt from the requirements of sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7 provided that
there are at least 20 FIDE rated foreign players from at least 3 federations, at
least 10 of whom hold FIDE titles (or rated 2300) in the tournament.
(GA '98) This information must be included in the title
application form. |
| 8.10 |
(GA '96) Each year, the national men's championship and
national women's championship (this means only the final and excludes any and
all preliminaries) can be considered to be an international title tournament
(waiving 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7) provided that in each case the tournament is
registered in advance.
(GA '98) Leagues and national team championships may
also be counted as international title tournaments if they fulfil all the normal
requirements. (GA '96) Title applications made exclusively on the basis of these
events will not be accepted. |
