Start date

The final was launched on 29.10.2022 with official start date on 15.11.2022; end date 15.01.2025. It is directed by IA Piotr Fałatowicz (POL). The event is rated with title norms.

Rate of play

In the final, the same as in the preliminaries, an incremental rate of play applies (initial time 30 days per game, plus 3 days every 1 move, reflection time duplication after 20 days; 45 days leave per year, no special leave). Linear conditionals can be entered. The public can see the games live after 10 games are finished in the event; live transmission delayed by 5 moves.

Additional tie-breaking procedure

If a tie persists after the standard tie-breaking procedures (Silli event: Buchholz cut 2, then Buchholz cut 1, then Buchholz, then Buchholz 2nd stage, and then number of wins), then the order is decided by the lower rating (fixed or unfixed) at the end of the tournament. If the tie still remains, the order is determined by the lower rating (fixed or unfixed) in previous ranting lists until broken. If players are still tied after all relevant tie-breaking procedures have been used, the players will be considered equal.

Prizes

In the final cash prizes of 1 000 EUR, 600 EUR, 300 EUR and 100 EUR will be awarded to the top 4 players. Tie-breaks will not be applied in respect of these cash prizes and instead those players scoring equal points will equally share any prize money due.

Also, in the final occasional medals and certificates will be awarded to the top 3 players (tie-break applies).

Special qualification provisions

The following special qualification provisions can be achieved in the 70th ICCF Jubilee World Cup final (required result above 50%):

  • the winner (tie-break applies) will gain the SIM title;
  • the winner (tie-break applies) will qualify for a World Championship final;
  • players from places 2-3 (tie-break applies) will qualify for a World Championship Candidates (upon payment of the entry fee);
  • players from places 4-13 (tie-break applies) will qualify for a World Championship semi-final (upon payment of the entry fee).

Legend and priorities:

  • TB1=Buchholz cut 2
  • TB2=Buchholz cut 1
  • TB3=Buchholz
  • TB4=Buchholz 2nd stage
  • TB5=number of wins
  • TB6=the lower rating at the end of the tournament (RL2022/3)

 

Statistics summary for the final:

  • entries = 92
  • countries = 32
  • titled players = 85 (GM=6 SIM=8 IM=18 CCM=44 CCE=9)
  • highest rating = 2580
  • average rating of all entries = 2361
  • entries by countries (5 & more): GER=24, CFR=11, POL=6, USA=5, ENG=5.

Paring was made in according to the Silli system. Each player plays 14 games. There are 7 to 13 countries in each pairing (therefore the requirements of Appx.2, item 1, are fully met for both - the whole tournament and for each pairing); no more  players than 7xGER (out of 24), 5xCFR (11), 3xPOL (6), 3xUSA (5) and 3xENG (5).

Although the average rating of all players is 2361, the average rating for each pairing is quite close to 2380 (min 2365, max 2412), tournament category 5-7 with title norms in most cases SIM=9,0-9,5 IM=8,0-8,5.
