+<h1>
+Automated Tournaments
+</h1>
+
+<p>
+These are the tournaments that are managed by the computer.
+
+<p>
+To play in one of these tournaments, simply register and wait.
+Once enough players have joined, the tournaments will kick off automatically.
+Make sure you've turned on notifications so you don't miss the start!

+
+<h3>Time Control</h3>
+
+<p>
+All tournament games use time control.
+<p>
+If you let a tournament game time out, you will not be allowed to join future tournaments!
+
+<h3>Rounds</h3>
+
+<p>
+Tournaments are round-robin, where each player meets every other player.
+Everyone plays each side the same number of times.
+There may be a few exceptions to these rules in 3+ player games at certain
+player counts, but the system attempts to make the pairings as fair as possible.
+
+<p>
+With sequential rounds you will only play one game at a time.
+
+<p>
+With concurrent rounds you will play several games simultaneously;
+but never the same side in more than one game at a time.
+
+<h3>Points</h3>
+<p>
+Victories are worth 2 points; ties and shared victories are worth 1 point.
+The
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonneborn%E2%80%93Berger_score">Sonneborn-Berger</a>
+score is used to break ties.
+
+<h3>Levels</h3>
+
+<p>
+Some tournaments may have multiple levels. If you win a tournament at one
+level, you will automatically be queued for the next level up.

+<h2>
+Mini Cup
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+This is a small and fast tournament format for casual play.
+The mini cup starts as soon as the required number of players have
+entered.
+You can play any number of mini cups.
+
+<p>
+The mini cup games use fast (3+ moves/day) time control.
