Please ensure your clocks are properly wound up. If for this reason, the clock does not move, game will be resumed with the current time with the clocks wound up (which means if you didnt check it, and your opponents clock wasnt moving, then your opponent gains an advantage). It is your own responsibility to ensure that both clocks are properly wound up though we will endeavour to ensure that this is so. King when being checked need NOT be announced. The opponent has the right to take the king if it was not moved when in check. A player making an illegal move and hitting the clock shall forfeit the game, if called by the opponent before touching a piece (includes illegal castling, any move outside of the game, etc). Where both players have only one rook or one queen each a draw can be claimed if the claimant has at least one minute on his clock and the opponent cannot show a forced win to the arbiter within 3 moves. Where a player has insufficient material to mate (i.e. 1 bishop, 1 knight, 2 knights) and his opponent runs out of time, a draw will result. The winner will bring the clock to the arbiter table and record his results. The loser will set up the pieces.

DAM HAJI/CHECKERS
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Malaysian/Singaporean checkers rules apply. Turns are decided based on coins flipping. Each piece can only move a step forward (diagonally), to the squares of the same colour. You capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it, diagonally, to the adjacent vacant square beyond it. You can make a multiple jump with one piece only, by jumping to Empty Square. In a multiple jump, the jumping piece can change directions, jumping first in one direction and then in another direction towards your opponents side. You remove the jumped pieces from the board. You cannot jump your own piece. Huffing system applies that is, if you can jump, you must. And, a multiple jump must be completed; you cannot stop part way through a multiple jump. If you have a choice of jumps, you can choose among them, regardless of whether some of them are multiple, or not. If not, the huffing piece will be removed. When a piece reach the opponents last row, the piece become a haji piece in which a haji piece can move either forward or backward, as well as moving further according to the diagonal squares where it is situated. A haji piece can also capture another piece that is situated further and within the same diagonal squares. Multiple capture is also possible. The game ends when one of the players loses all of his/her pieces.

Basic Rules of Double Play

A coin flip is used to determine who shoots first, and the first shooter is given the white pieces ("carrommen") to play. You set the striker along the baseline of the board. Using the striker, and with only your hand touching the board, you attempt to sink your own pieces by flicking (not pushing) the striker at the target piece at the proper angle. When you fail to sink a carroman, play passes to your opponent, the player on your right in a four-player game. You can pocket the queen only after having pocketed at least one of your own pieces. If you pocket the queen and miss on your next shot, the queen goes back to the center with one of your carommen. No backshooting is allowed. Winner for double will be based on the teams which sink all their carrommen and the queen first.
Basic Rules for Single Play

Who shoots first will be determined just like the double play (i.e. coin flipping).You continue to play as long as you sink one or more piece. To pocket the white piece, you need to get a license. The license will be pocketing 1 black piece and one white piece consecutively during your turn. If not, you are only allowed to pocket the black pieces. When you fail to sink a piece, play passes to your opponent, the player on your right in a fourplayer game. No backshooting is allowed. To pocket the queen, a player need to pocket the red piece first and either one white piece, or two black pieces consecutively during your turn. If you failed to do so, one black piece is required to be returned to the board. When all the pieces have been pocketed (are off the board), the game stops. Winner for single plays will be based on point-system (white: 2 points; black: 1 point; queen; 5 points).
Other Rules of Play

If you inadvertently shoot your striker into a pocket, one of your carromen are replaced on the board. The same goes when you sink opponent's pieces (applies to double). As for single, if you accidentally sink the striker into the pockets either two black pieces or one white piece is returned to the board.

Forfeiting the Match
By the official Laws of Carrom, which concern umpired tournament and match play, a player may forfeit the match by any one of several unsportsmanlike actions, including leaving the board without permission, resting over the time limit, insulting the umpire, purposefully distracting the opponent after a warning, or discontinuing play without permission.
