Hello, and welcome to the Fourth International Chess Championship! Are you ready to see how your national grandmaster scrubs up to the rest of the competition? Well, now's your chance!
FAQ:
How will you scorinate?
Matches will be scorinated using the single game chess function of xkoranate. Roleplay bonuses will be administered as rank, as I feel that this should be a tournament that anyone can win, given enough quality RP.
How will RP be graded?
Like the Third International Chess Championship, RP bonus will be purely cumulative. Every matchday, RPs will be graded based on quality, creativity and length in increments of .25, up to 1 point per day. The max skill will be set to the highest possible bonus for that day. Multiple RPs in one day will be averaged out, NOT added together, so please don't post multiple times for one matchday. Bonuses will be cut in half at the start of the playoff rounds.
When/where is the tournament being held?
The tournament will be held in the snowy city of Pinehearth, in the headquarters of the Syndicatian Association of Chess. Pinehearth, often called the "Crystal of the North" is one of the coldest areas in the Syndicate, but life still manages to find a way to flourish. There are many attractions to experience whenever your grandmasters have any downtime, such as the Pinehearth Outdoor Ice Rink, and the many restaurants along the river bank.
When actually will the tournament be held?
I hope to have signups up for a week (Until the 23rd March), or until we have a nice round number to begin with. RP Cutoff will be at 8PM GMT every day.
