One of the major pre tournament tasks for the Tournament Director is to ensure that the playing venue is ready and that is not only just the tables and chairs and their arrangement and ensuring that there are chess sets and clocks, but also that all players and officials of participating teams, spectators, and media will be properly accommodated.

There is also the IT infrastructure for broadcasting results and games, organising of refreshments, the transportation to and fro the hotel, and arranging for the secretariat, together with the game analysis and media rooms with any needed facilities.
