All players must also abide by all rules and site policies found at Chess.com/legal/user-agreement and cooperate fully with Chess.com's fair play detection team. Participants should be prepared to join a Zoom call for proctoring at the arbiter's discretion, and this request may be made between rounds via direct chat in live chess by a Chess.com staff member.
