Based on the information further down, it's 25 games that meet the requirements:
- Evidence, listed in the form or uploaded separately, that you have played at least 25 US Chess or FIDE qualifying rated games held from dates January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
They didn't have a contact email written at the bottom so I guess I'll just post my question here.
One of the requirements say that I need at least 25 rated events played, but immediately after it says "25 game requirement". Do they mean events, or games? Because I have only played 18 events this year.
