The dates for the 2022 tournament are January 15-30. The tournament is a single round-robin. Everyone plays each other once for a total of 13 rounds. In each game, the players get 100 minutes for the first 40 moves, 50 minutes for the next 20, and 15 minutes for the remainder of the game. There is a 30-second increment throughout.
