How the tournament works

Sign-ups are open until kick-off: every Friday at 18:00 Warsaw time (CET/CEST) the bracket is drawn automatically. Players are seeded by their ELO rating; with an odd number of entrants the highest seeds receive a bye into the next round. If fewer than two players sign up, the tournament is simply cancelled — no minimum fields, no fees.

Each pairing starts as soon as both players are online. A no-show forfeits the match after two minutes, so one absent player never stalls the whole bracket. Games run on a 2:30 chess clock per player, which keeps every match under about five minutes and a whole tournament within a single evening.

The prizes are premium time: seven days for the winner, three for the runner-up — added on top of any premium you already have.

Tournament tips

The clock is a resource: in forced positions move instantly and bank the seconds for the moments that matter. Plan bounce chains before you touch the ball — one careless bounce can hand your opponent a free ride across the pitch. And stay at your device between rounds: the next match starts as soon as your opponent connects, and the two-minute walkover clock is unforgiving.
