+Automated Tournaments +

+ +

+These are the tournaments that are managed by the computer. + +

+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! + +

+ +

Time Control

+ +

+All tournament games use time control. +

+If you let a tournament game time out, you will not be allowed to join future tournaments! + +

Rounds

+ +

+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. + +

+With sequential rounds you will only play one game at a time. + +

+With concurrent rounds you will play several games simultaneously; +but never the same side in more than one game at a time. + +

Points

+Victories are worth 2 points; ties and shared victories are worth 1 point. +The +Sonneborn-Berger +score is used to break ties. + +

Levels

+ +

+Some tournaments may have multiple levels. If you win a tournament at one +level, you will automatically be queued for the next level up. + +

+ +

+Mini Cup +

+ +

+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. + +

+The mini cup games use fast (3+ moves/day) time control. + +
