Regulations.
Stage 1. Qualifying games. 6 games, the winner enters one of the groups, the loser goes to the reserve list (backup) in case someone withdraws.
Stage 2. Group Stage. 8 groups of 5 players each.
Each player in a group plays one game against all others. In total, everyone must play 4 games. 1 point is awarded for a win, 0.5 to both for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
When calculating the totals, points earned in the NP vs LM Tournament (Stage 3) will be added to the points earned by participants in the group.
One week is given per game. Games can be played in any order.
If a player has not played the required number of games by the end of the current round, they must explain the reasons on the forum or by contacting the tournament organizers personally. "Disappeared" participants will be disqualified and replaced by players from the reserve list.
Two players with the highest number of points advance from each group to the playoffs. In the event of a tie in points, positions are distributed by additional indicators (in order of priority):
1. Berger Coefficient (calculated only based on results shown in the group).
2. Head-to-head match.
3. Points earned in actual games "weigh" more than technical wins.
4. If it is impossible to determine who advances to the playoffs by the previous indicators, a scheme of tie-breaker games will be offered to the players. At this moment, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be designed based on the situation that develops in the groups by the end of the stage.
In this case, the seasonal (permanent) rating will play a larger role.
Stage 3. Team Tournament "New Players" vs "Legends and Myths". The New Players team, consisting of players who earned at least 2 points in the group stage, plays against the team of the best HW players.
Stage 4. Playoffs - 16 participants.
