US Championship Online Qualifier Final Swiss Players
The US Championship Online Qualifier will feature a phased qualification system for each rating class to advance to the next stage, culminating in a final eight-player round-robin to determine the 2021 U.S. Championship spot.
The Final Swiss will only be open for players who qualified directly from the 2400+ section. This event will feature a 10|0 time control and will last seven rounds. The top eight players will advance to the Final Bracket on the following day.
As the winner of the US Championship Online Qualifier must represent the United States federation to be eligible to compete in the 2021 national championship, US Chess members that represent federations outside of the United States will not be able to progress beyond the conclusion of the Final Swiss.
The following players have secured their place in the US Championship Online Qualifier through their performance in the 2400+ Section. To qualify, players needed a final score of 7 points or better out of 12.

The top eight US federation players will advance to the Final Bracket on Sunday, December 6 at 2 pm PT.
In the case of a tie for eighth place, Sonnenborn-Berger tiebreaks are used as the primary tiebreak. If players are still tied, the head-to-head result will act as a secondary tiebreak. In the unlikely case that players are still tied, SB-1, SB-2, and SB-3 will be used as additional tiebreaks. If players are still tied, an armageddon match will be run directly after the Final Swiss where the higher rated player chooses color.
