FAQ 
  • [accordion]
    • What are the tournament rules & formats?
      • Kaissa Chess Club will use the Swiss System. In this system, players will play against each other. No one is eliminated. In fact, as you continue to win games, you face progressively stronger opposition players and those who were not so successful play against each other. Towards the end of the event, you are likely to face players at your level. 
    • How are the players paired with each other?
      • Players are paired with each other according to the following general principles: (a) A player is not paired with any other player more than once. (b) Players with the same score are paired whenever possible. (c) Colors are assigned as fairly as possible. Alternating the colors is ideal. (d) For the first round, the players are ranked according to their last official rating. If you are an UNRATED player, then you might be paired randomly. (e) The top player in the upper half is then paired against the top player in the lower half of the field, and so on. The top-ranked player’s color in the first round is normally allocated by lot, and then colors alternate down the halves. (f) In the second round, swiss system uses the same principles to pair each of the three score groups (those who won, those who drew, and those who lost). These pairing procedures will continue through the rest of the tournament.
    • Where can i locate the pairings?
      • Pairings (match-up) will be automatically posted before and after each round. This can be seen in the chess-results webpage.
    • How are scores determined? 
      • For every win, you receive 1 point. For draw, you receive ½ point and for every loss, you receive 0 point.
    • How are tie breaks calculated? 
      • The tie shall be broken in priority according to the following criteria for Swiss events:  (a) Direct Encounter (only if all tied have played each other) (b) Buchholz Cut 1 (c) Buchholz  (d) Sonneborn-Berger score (e) The greater number of wins
    • Is it possible for a player to get 2 awards?
      • No, If a player wins two categories prices, he/she takes the bigger one. For example, if a player is 2nd in the overall championship standings and first in his/her age group, then he/she will receive a trophy for second place in the overall standings (overall standings > age category).
    • Is the tournament FIDE rated?
      • No, CCT2023 - 5th stop Sia is not a FIDE-rated tournament.
    • Will you publish the results? How?
