Players who are not visible on Zoom will not be eligible for any prize. The TD will be looking for a view that shows the player (including their hands so we can see they are not accessing another device) and the player’s computer. Preferred is a double camera setup including a normal front view as well. Ī side-rear view zoom camera is required to be eligible for all prizes with video on showing the player in their playing environment with view of the screen. This includes Zoom Rules and Requirements, Troubleshooting/Contact with TDs, Disconnection Policy, and appropriate Fair Play measures. Below lists other rules, guidelines, and procedures in more detail. The above will help players log in to ICC and start their tournament games.
