Rated players will have their own double round-robin division with the champion getting a chance to represent Palau in the Oceania Zonal Chess Championship in Fiji in May 2007.
Unrated players, newcomers, beginners, inactive and juniors will have their chances in their own double round-robin with time control of 90 minutes for each player to finish the game with 20 seconds increment per move.
This time control is the same as the one to be used in Fiji. The champion in this division will join the rated champion in representing Palau.
If the two champions can't get sponsors for their airfare/accomodations to Fiji, the next finishers who have the financial capacity can be sent in.
Australia is doing the same in every case and they are the number 54 in the top playing countries in the World Chess Federation (FIDE) list.
RATED PLAYERS: 1. Menandro Manuel 2. Jose Omega 3. Cyril Montel, Jr. 4. Roberto Hernandez 5. Manny Nedic 6. Gene Pastrana 7. Tony Villa 8. Dennis Gonzales 9. Joel Azana 10. Jess Toldoya
