How to Claim prizes

I came 16th In qualifier 1. How do i get the prize

What prize?

There is prize money for different places in each play in. See players gunde or official rules

Guide not gunde

I think that's for the later rounds not the open qualifiers.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

I think prizes are for Play-Ins in whole (4 events in general), not every particular round

The Freestyle Chess Play-Ins consist of four stand-alone events. Each event consists of two online qualifiers for non-titled players ("Open Qualifiers"), an online qualifier for titled players ("Swiss Stage"), and a "Knockout Stage." The winner of each Play-In will qualify for the respective in-person "Freestyle Chess" event.

So, to win the 500 buckaroos, T-Sisir would have to be in the top 16 in the last round of the qualifier?

I think so, but I will be happy, if I'm wrong, as I finished 11th yesterday

are these prizes in the sunday qualifier

or only in playoff

Hi guys, the prizes are for the Knockout Stage of each Play-In. The "prize" for the Open Qualifiers is the top 3 qualifying to the Swiss Stage.

Thanks.
