Clubs League Season 2!!
We are proud to announce that The Flaming Tigers are participating in the Chess.com Club's League Season 2! Clubs from all over the world will compete with each other to get the ultimate crown. The Flaming Tigers took part in the league in the previous season also but became 5th. This time we are again participating in the league and we want to be the champion this time!
There are some changes in the rules and format of the league which you will find below:
- Chess.com’s Clubs League Season 2 regular season is scheduled for Saturday, November 7 through Saturday, December 19, 2020. The top 16 clubs in each division will qualify for the playoffs (scheduled for January 2021).
- The League will have weekly matches on seven (7) consecutive Saturdays – November 7, November 14, November 21, November 28, December 5, December 12, December 19, 2020.
- The default match time is Saturday 10am Pacific / 19:00 CEST / 11 pm Bangladesh Time
- Players may only compete for one club in a season. It means a player cannot play in two or more clubs. If a player plays for two or more clubs, then all the matches he/she has played will be counted as a forfeit
- Each Club vs Club match will have two segments: Rapid and Blitz. Each player will play 2 games against the same opponent (white/black) in each segment. Players will not necessarily play the same player in both segments.
- The time control for the rapid segment is 15 minutes plus 2 seconds increment and the time control for the blitz segment is 3 minutes plus 2 seconds increment.
- Each segment is weighted equally – if a club wins both segments, they earn a full match point, if one club wins the rapid and the other club wins the blitz, it is a tied match. In case one segment is tied, the club that wins the other segment will receive the full match point. Game points are not relevant in determining the match result. Only the result of each segment (win, loss, draw) is significant
- Players are not required to play both segments in a match – they may play either segment, or both.
- The estimated match time is 90 minutes.
- The prizes will be several Chess.com premium memberships. Details are here: Prize List
