<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mainly agreeing with things that other people have
mentioned:</div>
<div>- Make sure you keep the TD updated with your plans
(playing or not playing in a round) in plenty of time</div>
<div>- Read the information you've been given before
asking questions</div>
<div>- Double check the game details before you start
playing (including who's playing which colour, if there
are any handicaps, etc)</div>
<div>- Offer to ghost, if you don't mind missing a round
(most tournaments only need a maximum of 3 ghosts per
day, so even if everyone offered to ghost most people
wouldn't need to)<br>
</div>
<div>- Record your game as soon as possible</div>
<div>- Try to start your game on time, and (while
obviously it's OK to use the time limit and overtime)
try to make sure it doesn't get too delayed, for example
with discussions before counting up<br>
</div>
<div>- Try to be ready in the tournament room in advance
of the draw for rounds you're playing in, so the TD can
check who's actually present</div>
<div>- If you need to tell the TD something, try to make
sure the TD hears it directly - try to avoid asking
someone to pass the message on</div>
<div>- If you're able to wait at the end of the tournament
to help tidy the room up, it can be very helpful</div>
<div>
<div>- Sign up for tournaments as far in advance as
possible, as soon as you know you're planning to
attend (talking of which, Durham is coming up in a
couple of months...)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Go players are, on the whole, very helpful and
considerate people - thankfully problems don't happen
often!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
