8. FAQ

  • What Do the Time Controls Mean?

          The Time Controls tell you how much time you have for each game.
          For Example, G/30+0D means game in 30 minutes with a 0-second delay with each move. 
          This means  you get 30 minutes, your opponent gets 30minutes, and at each move 0 seconds are delayed to your clock.

  • How Many Games/Rounds?

          The 5SS before the time control means there are 5 rounds or five games a player can play in the tournament. 
          The tournaments are never elimination, so win or lose you can stay in the tournament.
