Kept in the league wallet for this tournament alone. · open to everyone until the tournament ends

Tied places share their percentages. When the tournament has ended and an admin has checked it, each share goes to the player’s own Lightning address from their Nostr profile. No address yet? The share waits until they add one.

Fill the pot

Zaps add on top, on the sponsors’ wall. Without Nostr: part of the pot, no wall.

The facts

Format
Swiss, 3 rounds
Pairings
two games with the colours swapped; at 1:1 a third game decides, and if it is drawn the race standing of its final position decides (a block counts 1.5 steps); a level standing is replayed

Questions

How does Swiss work?

Everyone plays every round. After each round, players with the same score meet, and nobody meets the same opponent twice. Good for: Many players, one evening, and everyone should play all night.

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.

How is the prize pool paid out?

When the tournament has ended, an admin checks it and closes the pool. The pool is split by place as shown; tied places share their percentages and a team’s share is split equally among its roster. Each player’s share goes to the Lightning address in their Nostr profile, and the league publishes every payment on Nostr with its proof.

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.
