Italian Open on the 15 - 17 May 2015 1st stage of world cup 2nd stage of European cup should be interesting

[sergio]

The Italian Open starts tomorrow morning at 9 am (Italian local time). So far we have 9 confirmed entries: 3 women and 6 men. We hope that someone else comes here tomorrow. Anyway the principal news is the presence of the three current world champions: Michele Borghetti (3-move world champion), Nadiya Chyzhevska (GAYP and 3-move female world champion) and I (GAYP world champion).
There should be the possibility of following this event online, but I don't have the link yet. I'll let you know as soon as I can.
Contemporaneously with this tournament, there is the final interscholastic tournament in Italian style and 10x10. About 200 kids are taking part in this team final.

Sergio Scarpetta

[George Hay]

Sergio-Miki goes 3-1 in Round 2 of 7 Rounds. It looks like a Round Robin since there are 8 contestants.

[champion374]

how many games in a match?

[George Hay]

Kent, it looks to me like two games to a match (or round). It looks like standard checkers scoring, 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.
I don't see any half points like they have in chess.

That is an interesting time for moves in the Italian Open Checkers: Rate of play 40' + 10"/move.

[champion374]

what you mean George?

[George Hay]

what you mean George?

The time clock is set for 40 minutes at the start of the game, and 10 seconds are added to the clock after every move.
That looks like a Fischer clock or something very similar! The "Rate of Play" is given on ChessArbitor Pro draughts.
