Where to play
In general the matches have to be played at GridGammon. Participants without an account at GridGammon may ask for registration with GridGammon at support@gridgammon.com making reference to the participation in this WBIF tournament.

Mode
With the registration you will start at 2 parallel tournaments:

  • Santa
    All pairings are played to 5 points.
  • Ruprecht
    All pairings are played to 1 point. Against the rules, the participant will reach the next round, who loose his match regularly. Rule violations (Missed matches, ...) or resigns leads to victory and elimination from the tournament. The matches should be played unrated at GridGammon.

Both tournaments will be played in single-elemination-system. The tournament Santa will be drawn. For the tournament Ruprecht the outwardsplaying participants from the tournament Santa will be set in reverse order. The matchfiles have to be send, but the analysis will be not included in the rating-lists.

Shedule
The tournament will start at 01.12.2014. The matches should be played within 10 days. The Pairings will be automatically fixed from the tournament-management-system, if both players of the next pairing are known.
