How to Enter a KO Tournament

Complete and submit the game request form on the KO Event Web Page, making sure to include all the required fields, marked *.

General Information

KOs are generally played in 3 rounds of 2 game matches, one as white, one as black. Winners advance, defeated players are "knocked out".

* Round 1: Eight players are paired in two-game matches.
* Round 2: The 4 survivors are paired in two-game matches.
* Round 3: The 2 finalists are paired in a two-game match.

Note: The winner of the final round is the tournament Champion. Their name will shine forever in KO 'Hall of Fame'

Both games in a 2 game match must be played concurrently! Failure to do so will constitute a time violation, and may incur a forfeit.

If a match is drawn: the player with the lower rating on the Pairing e-mail for that round, advances.

SWISS Tournaments:

last update: January 28, 2011

* Senior TD Michael Kinna
* TD Mary Anne Lynskey
* TD Joseph Wenger

How to Enter an OPEN Group

Complete and submit the game request form on the Swiss Open Event Web Page, making sure to include all the required fields, marked *.

These OPEN events are open for all ratings / open for all IECC members. New groups will start with every 20 entrants. Four single Rounds each starting after a previous round is completed.

General Information

* Time control: pace at least 10 moves @ 30 days, but faster is better (to avoid too long waiting times, longterm games will be provisionally adjudicated for next round pairings!).
* These are NOT KO-Tournaments! - All Participants have to play all rounds.
* In round 1 (partly in 2) bigger rating differences between opponents are 'normal'. For the weaker player an interesting challenge (and stronger players should remember, when they were beginners, and be ready to defeat their higher rating).
* Leave of Absences - Each player will be granted requested time off not to exceed 30 days in each round of the Swiss. Additional time of up to 15 days per Round will be subject to approval of both the TD and the opponent. Granting of that extra time will depend on the status or rate of progression of that match. Players taking "silent" or non-approved time off will be subject to forfeit by the arbiter.

IECC THEMATIC CHALLENGES:

last update: January 28, 2011

* Senior TD Hans Winsemius

* Name of Thematic (see list below)

WE WILL ATTEMPT TO ASSIGN OPPONENTS WITHIN A 400 POINT RATING DIFFERENTIAL. THE TD MAY USE HIS DISCRETION AND ASSIGN OPPONENTS WHOSE RATING DIFERENTIAL IS BETWEEN 400 AND 500 POINTS. HOWEVER, IF THE OPPONENTS AGREE, THE TD WILL ASSIGN OPPONENTS WITH A LARGER RATING DIFFERENTIAL (ABOVE 500 POINTS).

This is a great way to explore specific openings. You play either a two-game match, both as black and white, or a one-game match where you decide the color you would like to play. A list of players waiting for opponents appears below, along with popular variations with no players.

You can also specify a variation that does not appear on the list . You may specify a minimum or maximum rating for your opponent. Otherwise, we'll assign an opponent within 400 points of your rating at the time That the match is set up.

How to Request a Thematics Match

Complete and submit the game request form on the Thematics Event Web Page, making sure to include all the required fields, marked *. If one-game, let us know the color you'd like to play.

Special notice

In order to leave room on our waiting list for new variations and to limit the accumulation of very specialized requests, we are having to establish limits.

(a) Requests older than a year will be deleted. You can get your name back on the list by making another request.

(b) Unusual variations will be deleted after three months at the discretion of the Tournament Directors. We will strive to retain variations that might be of general interest.

(c) New variations will ONLY be accepted if the requester will play a two-game match with no special rating request.

(d) New variations will be limited to 7 move pairs.

We appreciate your understanding.
