Special Notices:
This event will be held at Tazikis Mediterranean Cafe in their event room. Participants, their families, and friends are encouraged to enjoy the restaurant. No Spectator are allowed in the play room while games are in progress. If the restaurant becomes full, we ask that you relocate to the patio area once you have finished your meal.
Most importantly, The Little Rock Arkansas Chess Club will be a good neighbor to our fellow business. We will ensure all event patrons conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner. Children under 18 must NOT be left unattended under any circumstances! Parents who are playing must not bring their child to the tournament unless another parent or guardian is present to supervise the child while the parent is playing, even if the child is also playing in the tournament.
The West Little Rock Chess Club reserves the right to remove anyone from the premises who is causing excessive disruption to the tournament, is acting in an unsafe or disorderly manner, or who leaves a child unattended. If removal of a parent or child is required which would also leave an unaccompanied child in the tournament, then the child will also be removed from the event and their current game forfeited.
