7. Tournament Rules

8. FAQ
- What do the time controls mean?
Time controls tell you how much time you have for each game.
G/90+30 means game in 90 minutes (aka 1.5 hours) with a 30-second increment from move 1. This means you get 90 minutes, your opponent gets 90 minutes, and at each move 30 second is added to the player's time.
- How many games/rounds?
The 7SS before the time control means it is a Swiss System tournament with seven rounds, or seven games, that a player can play in the tournament. The tournaments are never elimination, so win or lose, you can stay in the tournament.
