Adjudication means having the result of a game decided by an admin.

COMPLETING GAMES
----------------

It is important that you try finish your stored game(s) yourself before
asking for an adjudication.

1. To send a resume offer to all users with whom you have stored games,
   use "resume".
2. To send a resume offer to a specific opponent, use "match <opponent>".
3. To suggest a draw/abort in a stored game, use "sdraw/sabort <opponent>".
4. To resign a stored game that is lost, use "resign <opponent>".
5. To schedule a time for the resumption of a game with an offline opponent,
   send him/her a message.

ADJUDICATION PROCEDURE, REGULAR CHESS (Standard, Blitz, Lightning)
------------------------------------------------------------------

To request an adjudication of a chess game, visit
http://www.freechess.org/Adjudicate/

If the webpage is not working, you can use the same procedure as for
variants (see below).

ADJUDICATION PROCEDURE, VARIANTS
--------------------------------

To request an adjudication of a variant game, send a message to adjudicate
including:

1. The handles of both players (all four if it is a bughouse game).
2. The desired result (win, draw or abort).
3. The variant (crazyhouse, bughouse, wild, suicide, losers, atomic).
4. Any information that might help the adjudicators in their decision.

DISCONNECTION ABUSE
-------------------

Intentionally disconnecting from a game (in particular to avoid a loss) is 
considered abuse, and may lead to sanctions.

If you get a message with a warning about disconnecting in lost positions
you should deal with your stored games as soon as possible, to avoid the risk of
being sanctioned.

The most common sanction for disconnection abuse is being placed on the
abuser list. A person that is on the abuser list will lose his/her games in case 
of a disconnection.
