An AJRB Chess Tournament
Dinner, timed matches, live standings and playoffs. All skill levels welcome.
Tournament Format
5-minute chess — 5 minutes per player (Strict).
With 11 or fewer competitors, the tournament uses one double round robin and the top 4 advance. With 12+ competitors, players are snake-seeded by private estimated ELO into two pods for double round-robin play, with 6 players advancing to the playoffs.
Each competitor plays every opponent in their group once with White and once with Black. Wins are worth 1 point, draws ½, and losses 0.
