Tournaments
Enter an event and you are paired automatically, round after round, against players on your own score. Games are played at a real time control and rated exactly like any other game on the site.
Open for entry
Enter any time before the first round is paired. After that the field is fixed, so that nobody joins on zero against players who have earned their score.
Nothing scheduled yet. Anyone signed in can put an event on the calendar — pick a format, a time control and a start time, and it will pair itself.
Play a game meanwhileSwiss
Everyone plays every round, always against someone on your own score. Nobody is knocked out, so a bad first game costs you a point, not your event.
Knockout
Single elimination on a seeded bracket. Win and you go through; lose and you are out. Draws are replayed — a drawn match has not decided anything.
