Reminder: Round 7 of the Hivechess Tournament S16 , Friday 20h GMT

Dear chess fans!

Round 7 of Season 16 "Untitled" is played tomorrow Friday, 29th Sep., at the usual time.
The current standings after 6 rounds you can find here.

Mode: 3+1 (3 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment), 9 round Swiss tournament!

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


The price pool contains already app. 395 Hive!

Rules

  • All (untitled) players are welcome, also newbies, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
  • Every Friday is one round.
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
  • 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 (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). 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.
  • PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 10 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the price pool (PP). The tournament winner will get 25 Hive, the runner-up 20 and the third 10 Hive bonus. The rest of the PP is divided among all players according to the number of tournament points achieved (60%) and the number of rounds played (40%).
  • There will be a special price of 10 Hive for the highest performance in relation to the own rating (counted by averaging the rating after the first and the last round, if at least 6 rounds are played).
  • Five randomly selected players that participate in at least 8 of the 10 rounds will get rewarded with 100 LEO each, sponsored by @leofinance (thanks, @anomadsoul!).
  • 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! Titled players, community or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for prices! Only individuals can get prices.
