International Multi-Club Arena: All The Information

Players

Any member who's a part of one of Chess.com's official international clubs can join the event. Join one of the official clubs and help your community win!

Schedule

The arenas happen monthly on the third Friday of each month, starting at 9 a.m. ET / 15:00 CEST / 6:30 p.m. IST. Check out your international club's tournament schedule and find the date of the next arena.

Format

Clubs participate in 90-minute multi-club arenas in the 5+0 time control. Players get paired according to their rating but never against someone from their club. Players earn points every time they win or draw, with the possibility of winning more points if they're on a win streak. The cumulative points of each club's top 50 scorers count toward the club's score. The club with the most points by the end of the arena wins.

Prizes

Each arena features six premium memberships as the prize fund. Each membership lasts six months, with prizes distributed as follows:

• 1st: memberships to the top three scorers.
• 2nd: memberships to the top two scorers.
• 3rd: membership to the top scorer.

Please note that our Fair Play policy will be enforced during the tournament, and prizes will be awarded after Chess.com has conducted our Fair Play review.
