CSC 2013
CSC 2013
As most people probably have noticed CSC 2012 are currently starting their second round, but now I am here to inform about CSC 2013. CSC 2013 is open for registration. You can register your teams here. Deadline for registration is January 1st. CSC 2013 will be about the same as with CSC 2012 with some small changes that can be read at the bottom of this page. All games in each round will be played simultaneous with 2 days/move settings. A team will play a maximum of 4 games/round and the tournament will go on for several years. Approximated time is 3-5 years. The format is subject to change depending on participants, but it will look something like this.
Qualifer round (if enough teams): All teams play 4 games. Top 32 teams advance
Round 1: 32 teams divided in groups of 2. Winner advance
Round 2: 16 teams divided in groups of 2. Winner advance
Round 3: 8 teams divided in groups of 2. Winner advance
Round 4: 4 teams divided in groups of 2. Winner advance
Final round: Winners from round 4 play for champion. Loosers from round 4 play for bronse.
The format used for CSC 2012 can be seen here
When there is a tie both teams advance and they will be added to a group in the next round, so groups may contain more players than planned. If all teams would advance in a round the round will be played over again (not too unlikely in round 4). If there is a tie on the final round both will be considered winners.
Rule changes:
The limit to maximum 4 games/round for each team is added. If groups contains 2 or 3 teams there will be 2 games/opponent and if a group contains 4 or 5 teams there will be 1 game/opponent. No groups will be planned with more than 3 teams, so this will not often make a difference.
The main contact for teams is allowed to be an admin and not necessary a super admin for the group. Both main and alternate contact is still required though.
The pairings for round 4 (semi-finals) will be played with the highest rated against the lowest rated. This is different from the pairings in other round to make it less chance for drawn matches.
