"The proposed tournament will be held in "Christmas Freestyle Tournament" room. As the tournament software is still under construction, the pairings will be done manually by the TD, and the participants will have to challenge each other according to the pairings instructed by TD. Some bugs that occurred during the previous Freestyle Tournament have been fixed during the course; for e.g. 50-move-draw-rule; but no guarantee can be made that all bugs have been sorted out. Resuming interrupted games is possible under certain circumstances; it can only be achieved by one of the players who did not log out after the disconnection of his opponent. The TD shall not have the rights to restart any game, but only help players to get things on the right track. We apologize for all the aforementioned limitations, and foresee your insightful support on testing the current server version."

http://www.infinitychess.com/downloads.phpPlease be aware that this is just another test tournament; our Rules for Freestyle Chess could not be finalized so far, as the tournament features and functions are still under construction same as other sensible (not to say: basic) functions. At the time present it wouldn't make much sense to conclude detailed rules.
