Reminder: Final Round 12 of the Hivechess Tournament S19 , Friday 20h GMT

Dear chess fans!

Welcome to the final round of season 19 which is played tomorrow, Friday the 22^th Nov., at the usual time. This will conclude the competitive chess on Hive in 2024, unless surprisingly somebody would step up and starts a new tournament. Any volunteers? Remember the times when we had 3 tournaments in parallel (one on Friday, and then also two more on Saturdays and Sundays)?
Here you can find the current standings after 11 rounds.

Mode: 4+1 (4 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment), Swiss tournament over 9 rounds!

Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/swiss/2tXbz04R

The prize pool contains already 813 Hive!

Rules

• All players are welcome, also newbies, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
• Every Friday is one round.
• Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
• The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 3 games must have been played.
• 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: The tournament points of the 12 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 3 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 50), the runner-up "y" and the third "z" Hive (depending on the no. of players in each group). The rest of the PP is divided among all other players according to the number of tournament points achieved (50%) and the number of rounds played (50%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least six of the 12 rounds!
• If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prizes, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments!

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?

See you tomorrow and good luck!
