The Schwarzschild Radius Open

This knockout style tournament is in honor of Karl Schwarzschild. It is a fast-paced event which should be held over 4 rounds. This is meant as a small event, with only 16 players. Register fast!

The Schwarzschild radius (sometimes historically referred to as the gravitational radius) is a physical parameter that shows up in the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations, corresponding to the radius defining the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. It is a characteristic radius associated with every quantity of mass. The Schwarzschild radius was named after the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild, who calculated this exact solution for the theory of general relativity in 1916.
