A tournament for 64 players, where you go head-to-head in a straight knockout match with a single opponent.  If you win (or get a tie), you're still in there.  Lose and you're out. 

This is an open tournament, available to players at all levels.  There are also rating-restricted versions available, so please take a look at one of those too.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!

Yep, both players will advance to the next round. Look at my group #27.

If we both win one game each, who go to the next round? or if it's 2 draw, what will happen?
