The ITC has a code of conduct that will be used throughout the event - please familiarise yourself with it prior to the event so that you know what you should expect, and also what your opponent should expect from you. You can find it here.

If a player has more than one game that doesn’t reach a natural conclusion - ie the game doesn’t finish a game at turn 5 before the time for the round has expired - they will have points deducted from their tournament score. Where this is found to be deliberate there may be additional penalties, please see the code of conduct above.)
