Reminder: Round 2 of the Hivechess Tournament S14 , Friday 20h GMT

Dear chess fans!

the second round of S14 is played tomorrow Friday, 9th Dec., at the usual time.
The current standings after the first round you can find here.
By the way, regardless of this reminder, you will find the next scheduled tournament also always on the Lichess team site!

Mode: 5+0 (5 minutes per game, no increment), 7 rounds Swiss tournament

Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/swiss/r7pqgI5Z

The price pool contains already 112 Hive plus 500 LEO!

Rules

  • Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here!
  • Every Friday is one round.
  • Registration fee (for the season, not for each round) is 1 Hive (or HBD), to be sent to @badge-646464
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...).
  • The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point. In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
  • In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
  • After 6 rounds, the top 8 ranked players will enter a knockout stage to fight for the champion title, all others continue to play in 3 remaining rounds. The worst result in terms of points among the 6 (top 8) or 9 (rest) rounds will be deleted. The winner of the general section (= 9th ranked) qualifies for the playoff of the next season!
  • PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 6/9 rounds are summed up. 70% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the price pool (PP). The tournament winner will get 50 Hive as bonus, the prices for the other players who have entered the knockout stage will be calculated at the end of the season. The rest of the PP is divided among all players equally (40%) and according to the number of tournament points achieved (60%). Participation in 4 rounds is required in order to qualify for the prices.
  • There will be a special price of 5 Hive plus 50 LEO for the highest performance in relation to the own rating (counted by averaging the rating after the first and the last round).
  • There will be a special price of 5 Hive plus 50 LEO for the best tournament report of the season (can be a post, streaming of a round, podcast, whatever)!
  • If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prices, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments! Group or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for prices! Only individuals can get prices.

Oh it's a hive chess tournament 🤔 I thought it was just you playing chess😂

Clearly I read like my ass

Thank you! I will be there!

I was able to wake up and join at 4am. The games were good especially my last game with @stayoutoftherz was exciting. I lost on time but it was a lot of fun 😀

Yes, it was a crazy game! First I was winning, then totally lost.
But you are not registered, so your result was not counted. I told it a lot, people have to read the rules.

I will register in the next cycle.

Good luck everyone!

Good 👍 I like 5+0 time mode and play usually.
