Tournament Format

The tournament will be a seven-round non-ranked Swiss/Dutch-system bracket (awarding 1 point for a win, 0.5 for a draw, 0 for loss), with one round played each day of the tournament. Ties will be broken using the Sonneborn–Berger score if necessary. Each round consists of a single 7+5 match (7-minute timer, 5-second increment).

The bracket and standings can be found here and will be updated live as the tournament progresses: https://swissonlinetournament.com/Tournament/Details/e5fdcd3ec09a459d934f16911fb391e8



Playing and Reporting Games

At 8:30 AM ET every day, the next round pairings will be sent out over the EduVisa Community discord server in the #♟chess-tournament channel.

Pairs should coordinate to play their match at any time in the next 23 hour period using either lichess.org or chess.com. Results should be reported before 8 AM ET by one player per pair in the #♟chess-tournament channel with the result of the match and a link to the match report. Failure to report will result in a draw for both players.



Questions, comments, and requests for help should be directed to the tournament director, Richard, on Discord (@Richard#0870) in the ⛳event-discussion channel. Please reserve #♟chess-tournament for pairing announcements, official tournament communication, and reporting match results.
