ICCF World Cup 20 Webserver SemifinalsSunday, July 26, 2015: Announcement
Dear Chessfriends,
On behalf of ICCF, the tournament is being organised and administered by the Russian CC Association.
The preliminaries of this World Cup started on 30.11.2013 with 1001 players from 55 countries in 77 server sections. Play at preliminary stage ended on 31.05.2015. Adjudication is already finished as well.
Announcement
The semifinals of the ICCF World Cup 20 starts on 10.09.2015.
ICCF Rules valid at the start of the semifinal stage (10.09.2015) will be binding, including tie-breaking (number of wins, points evaluation by the Sonneborn-Berger-System, results of the tied players against each other).
Entries
The semifinal stage is opened to the 2 top players of each preliminary section (no more than 2 semifinal groups). Qualifiers are presented at the bottom of this announcement. Most of them have already confirmed their participation.
In addition, those players who qualified for World Cup 18 and 19 Finals will also be entitled to play in the semifinal stage of World Cup 20. Players may enter in the usual way through their National Federations or, where eligible, directly. Entries should contain player’s name, email address, ICCF ID, current rating and background and should be forwarded by email to the Tournament Organizer, Andrey Pavlikov (email: PavlikovAN1976@gmail.com), to reach him before 05.08.2015.
Should there be any non starters or unexpected withdrawals, the semifinal groups might be completed by players from a prioritized list of reserve (those sharing 1st or 2nd place). Some of these players might be contacted (if applicable) by TO Andrey Pavlikov via e-mail if necessary to fill vacancy.
There is no additional entry fee.
Allocation of players to the semifinal groups will be made as random as possible; however, geographical distribution as well as an achievement of reasonable equality of the average rating will be taken into account.
Tournament Organization
There will be 10-12 semifinal groups (13 to 15 players each) and the winner from each group will qualify for a 13 to 17 player final.
The start date for all semifinal groups is 10.09.2015 with closing date of 31.03.2017.
Any unfinished games are called for adjudication. The players involved shall submit their claim (win or draw) and supporting analysis to their TD for adjudication no later than 30.04.2017.
The adjudication will be organized in such a way that all qualified players will be known by 31.05.2017.
The final is expected to start on 30.08.2017 at the latest.
ICCF standard time control 10 moves in 50 days with duplication after 20 days is used.
Qualification
Only the group winner (ties to be decided by points evaluation) will be promoted to the World Cup final. No player will qualify for more than one place in the final.
In addition, the winners of World Cup 18 and 19 Finals will be eligible to participate in World Cup Final 20.
We wish all participants many interesting games and new connections with CC friends in other countries, based on the spirit of friendship and the ICCF motto:
AMICI SUMUS
