Hello everyone! In this tournament, everything is fives. There will be groups of 5, with 55 total players. You have 5 days/move. The rating range is also 1555-2500. (It would be 2555, but chess.com won't let me! )
Top two per group advance to the next round.
To help prevent the tourney from taking 5 years, vacation time is not allowed. (Don't worry guys, it won't take that long. It'll be closer to 5 months. )
As in all of my tournaments, top finishers will be invited to the Winner's Championship, a special invitation-only event for the best players of my tournaments. More info in link here.
