Hivechess Tournament - Payouts of Season 2 and Start of Season 3 Tomorrow

Dear chess friends!

As promised, I have distributed the prices and payouts from season 2 to all participating players. The price pool at the end was a whopping 660 Hive. Apparently I had underestimated it significantly (or blundered in adding up the vote rewards😕). Thanks to all the Upvoters and Supporters!

Here is the payout table:

RULES

  • For Hivers, Steemians, Blurters and all others!
  • Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account!
  • Every Friday 19 to 20 GMT is one round (with few exceptions)
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 5+1, 3+2, 10+0,...), rated, berserking allowed (except in Swiss mode)
  • The winner of each round gets 8 points, the second 7,... and the 8th 1 point. In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
  • PAYOUT: A season goes over 11 rounds and points are summed up. All Hivechess-related post rewards are pooled and 90% go to the price pool. The winner will get 30% of that price pool, the second 20%, the third 10%, the rest is divided equally among the other players according to the no. of rounds they have played. So everyone has a chance to get something and the more you play the more you get! Prices are payed out only in Hive Tokens.
  • If I don´t know your Hive (or Steem) username, I can´t consider you in the rankings, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments or in the Lichess chat
  • If you have not yet joined our team in Lichess, please do it here, so that you can participate (required for Swiss tournaments only).

Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues!
The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?

Good luck All!
