There are five rounds - one this evening, two on Saturday and two on Sunday - with a time limit of 110 minutes and a 10-second increment.
As I understand it, the point of a 10-second increment is to rule out draw claims based on players trying to flag an opponent on time.
A record of the score does not have to be kept once your clock dips below five minutes, even if it should subsequently go above five minutes.
Several past participants have told me Scarborough is a particularly enjoyable congress, and I am interested in seeing a town I have not previously visited but is supposed to be attractive.
There are 95 entries in the open alone, and the full lists can be found at http://chess-results.com/tnr575745.aspx?lan=1&art=0
