Registration Forum: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/multi-variants-knockout-registration
Welcome to the Multi-Variants Knockout!
This event is organized by The United Chess Nations to celebrate our chess club reaching 10k members! The United Chess Nations, founded the 3rd October 2021 is an international online chess club. Every year, we create several huge competitions in all different time controls and formats for our competitive members, plus we participate in team matches and large chess leagues. 
Our Event is very special, because it is the first tournament combining all chess variants and it's not about only one variant! Here, you will have to show your skills in different game modes across the rounds! 
This tournament is exclusively for members of the club The United Chess Nations.

Round Format
This a Knockout Tournament: this means only the winners in each round get to the next round. Let's look at how a round looks like:
Match Format
- For every round, the players get paired with exactly one participant to play 2 Blitz Games with time control 3|2
- One game with the White pieces and one game with the Black pieces
- The game mode is decided by the players when registering (more information in the section How to: Register) and the players play one game in the mode decided by Player A and one game in the mode decided by Player B
- In case of a tie, the players should play again two games, just like the 2 first one. In case of another tie, play like this until there is a decided winner
- The players have 5 days (from Monday to Friday) to decide on a time to play
- The players have 7 days (from Monday to Sunday) to play their games
- The result of the games + the game links should be sent to @Kyu13
and one game with the Black pieces 
Deciding on a time to play
- The players should agree on a time to play in private messages on chess.com (think about the different time zones!)
- In case your opponent does not reply or forfeits, you can claim the win on Saturday/Sunday (message @Kyu13)
- If you can't agree with your opponent on a time to play, please message @Kyu13 with your timezones (for example UTC+1) and the timezone of your opponent.
