BCA reserves the right to enforce its policies to ensure FAIR PLAY and INTEGRITY of its events. We are not accusing anyone of cheating when their account gets tagged by chess-playing platforms like lichess, chesscom and Tornelo. False positives do happen and writing an appeal and instances when they reverse their decisions do happen. Rest assured that your rights is defended from verbal abuse and harassment from others. This is the ban process and periods for BCA: 1st offense: 2 months ban / Forfeiture of prizes 2nd offense: 1 year ban / Forfeiture of prizes 3rd offense: Perpetual BAN & disqualification. Note: We BAN the player not the account. If you get BANNED outside BCA, the same punishment applies. By clicking "I Agree" you clear BCA of any liabilities for enforcing its own policies by the merit of your membership with us. It will be equal or the same as you have affixed your own signature. Thank you so much for your compliance, cooperation and understanding. WELCOME to Brainy Chess Academy! *
