FIDE rules will apply. Mobile phones must be switched off. Phones making any type of noise will result in the player automatically losing their game.
If your opponent makes an illegal move, pause the clock, call the arbiter over. You will be awarded 1 extra minute if the Arbiter agrees an illegal move was made. You will win the game if your opponent makes a second illegal move in the same game, provided you still have mating material left on the board, otherwise the game is declared drawn.
