New: Bracketed Swiss - Tuesday and Saturday at 10h!

The more teams, the more groups. This new formula is becoming popular in tournaments.

When buying the entry for the team, the captain tells the director the total number of points of the players on his team. At the end of the registration period, the director determines the number of groups, each consisting of 8 teams (more in the first group) of equal strength. All teams in the same group play against each other throughout the day. You are assured to play against teams of equal strength.

A team may choose to play in the first bracket eventhough its MP would place it in a lower bracket.

More Gold Rush sessions!

Only players with fewer than 750 points can play in the GOLD RUSH sessions, regardless of the average points of the pair or team. The average, however, will determine the stratification in which the players will be considered: 750/300/100.

Gold Rush Pairs
Wednesday: 10 h et 14 h 45
Thursday: 10 h et 14 h 45

Gold Rush Swiss
Friday: 14 h 45 et 19 h 30
