Swiss-system tournament...long story short:- Fair pairing, no eliminations, black/white rotation maximized, never play twice with the same opponent.
- Clocks will be set on 5'+03”
- 6 rounds (3 rounds, then dinner break, then 3 more rounds)
- Max 40 players
- prizes: Pizza voucher for the winner (at Materia), free drink for the last in the final ranking, plus a mug randomly drawn.
🔎 Swiss-system management ensures, among other things, that everyone is paired with opponents with a similar score: if you lose the first round, you'll be paired with someone who lost too. The more rounds you play, the more likely you are to play against someone of your strength.
Swiss-system is non-eliminating, so you'll play the whole tournament no matter what your strength is! 🥳
