Exactly what is a class A OTB rating. Is that an inflated USCF rating category.
How many times must I tell you. I don't even live in the US - I don't care about USCF rules.
You don't seem to care about having frauds in your club.
What exactly do you care about?

Most certainly I do but this is not OTB and I have seen nothing here unethical. Surely it is unethical to play hard in a tournament, win 7/10 games then default on time the remaining 3, 2 to the same player who goes on to win the tournament by a 1/2 point.

My club (Club 75) does not have any frauds in it. We are extremely careful to ensure we have no engines on board, although mistakes can happen.

Honesty! Integrity! Inoffensiveness! Truth! Justice! Freedom and much more.......

My last post in this thread regarding this issue is a hypothetical I asked in the new thread in Site Ideas:
Suppose all four players in a section decided to agree to draws after one move in all their games.
Should they all advance?

no1marauder. There is no fact and nor forensic evidence of pre-arranged draws or complicity to cheat. Your soap box preaching and chest thumping is passionate but misguided. If you preceive your street cred here allows your Pied Piper-ing whip up of support then continue but we the many will stop listening. This is not the USCF, and you are not playing in this tournament, so what gain is purely esoteric and only inclusive to your personal credo. Ad Naseum and ad hominem attacks of this will only bring discredit upon yourself!

PB: Why in the world should I try to juggle so many games and struggle against a higher rated player at the same time?
To me it's good tournament strategy.
Do you need more evidence?

I offered 2 draws, they were accepted.
I don't need you telling me when I may or may not offer draws, whether here or any where else.
Your continued preaching when neither you nor I have any stake in this tournament is rather purile and pathetic. In fact you are not even moving on this site yet coninue to try and dictate how those of us who are playing should play. Your arrogance beggars belief.
Well this thread sucks... so much for focusing on the whole tournament, rather than two draws at six moves into a game. No1, this is not the USCF, it will never be the USCF, get a freakin life... This is an online chess correspondance site with its own rules and practices. It has nothing to do with USCF...so dont impose rules that are irrelevant to the site. If you think that the Draws were unfair to the group, argue about it after the round is done and we can see the consequences that develop from the early draws. Otherwise lets talk about the actual tourney, and enjoy another championship, we have enough to worry about from the load of games and possibly engines. So let it be. Geesshhhh, the guy is a good player, and he can draw when he likes...draw at move one, who cares, if they implement a rule here, than he can change his behavior. Do not harass the guy.

"UMM, the player admitted it?" A succinct and factual statement! Your original prostrate comments were directed to Cityblue and paulbuchmanfromfics? Now your argument has gone from a broad brush castigation of these players, RHP tournament policy to individual attacks? Are you studying at a Russian school of jurisprudence? The facts are you have none. None to prove, none to bring forth. Why not subpoena Airmen Cecil & O'Malley 🙁

To get you up to speed, read AFX's post on page 2 and my post on the top of page 3 replying to it. The quote I gave above is PB replying to my post.
EDIT: You might also want to look at the games in question; afx's post links to them. "No evidence"??? LMAO!
