I was wondering since this is an open tournament, are players randomly assigned to groups or is it by rating? Any sort of seeding system?

Looking through the 2020 results will probably tell you.

Group assignments are not random.

Thanks. Those poor 2000+ players forced to play 20 really dull games in round 1! But it does mean a reasonable chance of getting to play a titled player for us regular players... does chess.com make it possible to query this stuff in more detail? e.g. how many titled players are in the tournament?

Guys can someone explain how daily chess tournament 2021 advancements work? I was wondering if only the top finisher of each group of 22 players advances

Correct, if there is a tie both advance

So out of 22 players only one player advances? I scored 13 wins 8 losses and 1 draw no chance?

If someone is ahead of you in the group, that would be it. Can you provide a link to the standings page?

Where do i get the standings from?

12 players to a group / 11 opponents = 22 games

1 player advances from the group of 12 -not 22

Being able to correctly read pairings is a valuable asset.

This event started last year. Are you asking about the 2022 edition?
