Dear chess fans!
The 10th and final round of season 18 is played tomorrow Friday, 21th June 2024, at the usual time. The current standings after 9 rounds you can find here.
Since this will be the last Hivechess tournament for a longer time (summer break), it will go over 90 minutes - only the strong will survive 😁!
Mode: 4+2 (4 minutes per game, 2 sec. increment), 90 min. arena!
Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/lLBXJuWj
The prize pool contains already app. 556 Hive (plus the 500 LEO)!
Rules
- All players are welcome, also newbies, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
- Every Friday is one round.
- Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
- The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
- In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
- PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 10 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 4 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 20), the runner-up "y" and the third "z" Hive (depending on the no. of players in each group). The rest of the PP is divided among all other players according to the number of tournament points achieved (75%) and the number of rounds played (25%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least six of the 10 rounds!
- There will be a special prize of 5 Hive for the player with the highest tournament performance in relation to his rating.
- 500 LEO will be again sponsored by @leofinance, details to be determined
- If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prizes, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments! Community or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for rewards! Only individuals can get prizes.
Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues!
The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?
See you tomorrow and good luck to all!
