Where to play
In general the matches have to be played at Heroes. Participants without an account with Heroes are asked to register there before registering for the tournament.

Mode for the Basecamp
5 games are randomly drawn for each participant. The games are played on 7 match points with the Heroes clock setting standard (10 seconds per move plus 2 minutes per matchpoint). The order in the table is according to 1. number of wins, 2. number of Buchholz points. At the end of the Basecamp the participants will be assigned to the groups according to the number of their victories:

  • 5 and 4 wins -> Mount Everest
  • 3 and 2 wins -> Mont Blanc
  • 1 and 0 wins -> Fuji

Mode for the groups Mount Everst, Mont Blanc and Fuji
The tournaments are played in the simple KO system on 9 match points with the Heroes clock setting standard (10 seconds per move plus 2 minutes per matchpoint). The players are seeded according to their position in the table. If several participants share a table position, the participant who has finished his training program earlier (receipt of the result message) is given preference.

The tournament starts a few days after the end of the registration. For the simultaneously played rounds 1 to 5 of the Basecamp 5 weeks of playing time are granted, for the following rounds of the individual groups at least 2 weeks of playing time.
