Rules

Pairing: Top 8 players are seeded by rating and the remaining 8 are drawn randomly.

• The top 14 players qualified by rating

• 2 wildcard awarded by the organizers

Players obligations:

• Players must use a face camera and join a video call 15 minutes before the match.

• After the drawing phase, a timetable will be created. Players will coordinate with their opponents and choose a match date on a first-come, first-served basis. Ideally, matches should run consecutively without gaps between weekends.

• Players must remain responsive via email or chat.

Prizes:

1st place: 1.000 €

2nd place: 600 €

3rd place: 400 €

4th place: 200 €

5th-8th place: 100 €

Rules notes:

• If a player runs out of time for any reason (including lag), the game will be counted as a loss. Internet stability is each player's responsibility. The only exception applies to disruptions caused by the ongoing war — such situations will be handled individually and carefully.

• The face camera requirement is primarily for entertainment and streaming purposes, not as an anti-cheating measure. The goal is to create a viewing experience similar to the Speed Chess Championship.

• Because the event is online and involves significant prize money, additional anti-cheating mechanisms are available: 

1. If requested by the opponent, a player must provide a side camera showing both themselves and their screens.
2. This recording may be done either as a saved livestream or as an offline video that can be provided upon request.
3. Two camera setups are preferred: one face camera (shared with the streamer) and one side camera.
4. Alternatively, a single side camera may be used to serve both purposes (stream feed + anti-cheating).

If no anti-cheating recording is requested by the opponent, a side camera is not required.
