Questions

How does Duel work?

Everyone plays everyone. Most points wins. Good for: Small groups up to about 8, or daily chess, where all games run at the same time.

What if someone does not show up?

Games run here with a clock, like every game on the site.

How are seeds set?

By Elo at sign-up close, equal Elo by earlier sign-up.

For the nerds: the proof on Nostr

The league signs the tournament as a calendar event and, when it has a solo pool, the draw. Anyone can re-check them with these ids.
