Host checklists

Before the game: checklist

1. Approve a specific edition of the rules and a text the players can read.
2. Check the table, numbering, masks, cards, timer and the referee's sheet.
3. Explain the difference between a game foul, a tournament penalty and a club rating penalty.
4. Say how candidates are accepted, how to vote and what to do in a tie.
5. Announce the order of questions and of reviewing disputed decisions after the game.

During the speeches

1. Start the timer and announce the end of time in the same way for everyone.
2. Record an accepted candidacy at once, without relying on memory.
3. Note a forbidden speech, gesture or touch by the fact of the action, not by sympathy for the player.
4. Do not hint at the meaning of what was said and do not reveal hidden information.
5. Where necessary, record the grounds for a penalty with a reference to the specific rule.

During the vote: the referee's algorithm

1. Check the list of nominated candidates and their order.
2. Clearly announce the start and the rules for taking votes.
3. Record hands and count the votes for each candidate.
4. Do not change the procedure because of the players' reactions.
5. In a tie, move to the officially provided mechanism; do not improvise.
6. Write the result, the players who left and the violations in the protocol.
