Hello, so I’ve decided to make a chess tournament, the tournament will be played after all 20 players are here or on the 5th of January (Formerly 28th of December), the application is for everyone. The tournament will be held in Sobrausze, Nisryn, a place where a chess tournament such as this happens yearly. All games in the tournament other than the finals will have 5 minutes with an increment of a minute, in the finals, players will have 3 minutes with an increment of 2 minutes. Since chess is believed to have a first-move advantage for white, to ensure fairness, the players have to face each other in an equal number of white and black games; players face off each other in two games, except the final with four games. Resolving ties is crucial in this format, with the rules making the players play 3 rapid(10 minutes without an increment) games until ties are broken. If the players are still tied, they keep playing pairs of blitz(2 minutes without an increment) games until ties are broken, or until 4 pairs are played. If the players are still tied, a single deciding game (Armageddon) will be used, with Black receiving draw odds (draw count as a win) in exchange for White having a time advantage (5 vs 4 minutes). If there is any discovery of unfair play such as getting evaluations, analyses, notes, etc. The cheater will be disqualified from all following Sobrausze tournaments.
