Helpful tips for players:


  • Keep an eye for when pairings are published and start playing your game as soon as you can. 2 minutes after pairing is published, we will start the clock of any games which have not yet started. Avoid losing on time by promptly making your first move.
  • Use the player highlight feature to help you quickly find your own game each round
  • Use the Sound Notification feature if you won't be in front of your Tournament Home Page. The notification sound will let you know when the next round pairing is published.
