There will be sixteen players, and each nation can submit one player if this is their first time, or two if they participated in the original tournament (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=450767). The first sixteen players to sign up will be in the tournament. If all sixteen berths are not filled, signups will close on December 24. The players would be randomized into four groups of four, and matches start Dec 24. The playoffs would be conducted in an NFL style, as the winner of each group along with the two best non-winners make the playoffs. The division winners are ranked 1-4 and the wild cards are 5 and 6 seed. For more information, you can read up on the NFL playoffs on your own. For signups, we need the following:
- Nation Name
- Contestant Name(s)
To prevent any conflict of interest, I will not be participating in this edition. Thank you for signing up for ICO2, and I look forward to hosting this (and many more) editions of the best chess tournament in the world!
