Challonge Tournament at the United Chess Competitions club!

Hey there! @champion-19 here!

We will have a Challonge Tournament at our Official United Chess Competitions club! 

Note: in order to participate in this event, you must be a member of this club: https://www.chess.com/club/united-chess-competitions-ucc It has a lot of other features, so you better take a look at the main page right now! We're looking to break 300 members this week, so you can help us a lot by clicking that green "Join" button! Thanks

So what's the format of our Challonge Tournament? https://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/QtkeehQJJA Register here if you have a Challonge account!

Firstly, all players will be divided into 4 Groups by 4 people. You will need to play ONE 3|2 game with each of your opponents. You can see the Groups here(it's only a preview, as we'll have a proper draw prior the event): https://challonge.com/gatk9elr 

The Group Stage will happen from Monday to Friday! 

2 players from each group advance to a Single Elimination Knockout! There, each pair plays 2 5|2 games! In case of a draw, they play 1|1 games until someone loses. 

The Knockout will happen on the weekends!

Winner of the tournament receives this beautiful trophy! He/she can put it on their profile description! The trophy will look really cool there😎
