Description:
The Phoenix Chess League Fast Vote Chess 960 Season #2 is a 1 day per move Vote Chess 960 tournament. Clubs will play in groups of up to 8, in a round robin format. If 8 clubs or less registered in this event, all clubs will be playing in the same group; if 9 are more clubs registered in this event, they will be divided in 2 or more groups, by their apparent strengths (Group A, Group B etc.). For more detailed information, check Match Parameters below.
Rules:
All matches will be played by rounds, with pairings between each club. Matches will use a time control of 24h per move and Chess960 as rules. All rounds will start on Wednesdays, starting on the 30th of April. Subsequent rounds will be announced every week (Check the calendar below for each round's starting date).
Either club in an match can send the challenge immediately after the pairings are issued. All matches must be created before the next pairing is issued, or within a week for the last round. If none of both clubs sent the challenge in time, match will be counted as lost for both clubs; if a match for which the challenge has been reported in time has not been accepted within the valid time period, the match will be counted as lost for the club who did not accept the challenge.
To ensure a correct assessment of challenges creation and matches acceptation in time, challenges and matches must be reported in this topic before the end of the challenging and acceptation periods.
As a general rule, common sense and best effort will be used. The content will be, when possible, chosen over the form and the effort will be going towards starting as many matches as possible rather than having forfeits for purely technical reasons.
Requirements of joining:
None.
Calendar of pairings publications: (DD/MM/YYYY)
Registrations will close on the 23rd of April, groups will be announced on the 24th of April and will be open for discussion until the 28th of April.
We will update results frequently, and once all matches are adjudicated, we will announce the results and the winners.
Good luck to all teams!
