RULES
- For Hivers, Steemians and all others!
- Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a Lichess-account!
- Every Friday 19 to 20 GMT is one round (with few exceptions).
- Time mode is varying (5+0, 5+1, 3+2, 10+0,...), rated, berserking allowed (except in Swiss mode)
- The winner of each round gets 8 points, the second 7,... and the 8th 1 point. 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.
- PAYOUT: A season goes over 11 rounds and points are summed up. All Hivechess-related post rewards are pooled and 90% go to the price pool. The winner will get 30% of that price pool, the 2nd 20%, the 3rd 10%, the rest is divided among the other players active on Hive or Steem, according to the no. of rounds they have played. So everyone has a chance to get something and the more you play the more you get! Prices are payed out only in Hive Tokens.
- If I don´t know your Hive (or Steem) username, I can´t consider you in the rankings, so if new here, please let me know your user name in the comments.
