FINJUB-50 Jubilee
In celebration of it's 50-year anniversary The Finnish Correspondence Chess
Federation is organizing an International Open Tournament. The event will be played
in three stages: Preliminaries, Semifinals and Final; webserver mode only.
Registration is now open for the Preliminary stage. Deadline for registration to the
Preliminaries is 10/15/2012
1- Preliminaries
This stage will start on November 1st., 2012. Groups will be composed by 7 players,
time control will be 10/50 and there will be 30 days of leave per year as stated in the
ICCF playing rules. The winner of each group will advance to the Semifinals, ties in
points for first place will not be broken and both players will advance. Conditional
moves will be allowed as well as live display with a 5-move delay.
Entry fee for the Preliminary stage will be 12 euros or 16 USD when registering for
one group only. Fees have been reduced for multiple entries: 2 groups for 20 euros
or 26,5 USD, 3 groups for 25 euros or 33 USD, 4 groups for 28 euros or 37 USD.
Entries may be sent by Paypal ([email protected]) or EU-payment (IBAN:
FI20 2065 1800 0794 65), to FCCF /The Finnish Correspondence Chess Federation.
Alternate methods of payment may be considered under special circumstances
subject to approval by the tournament organizer. Contact the tournament organizer
IA Leo Lahdenmäki ([email protected]).
2- Semifinals
To be started soon after the qualifiers from the Preliminaries are determined.
Winners of preliminary groups will not pay any more entry fees to finish the event at
any stage. Players ICCF rated equal or greater than 2350 (or title SIM or GM) will be
allowed direct entry to the Semifinals upon payment of an entry fee. The entry for
these players will be 20 euros or 26,5 USD. Semifinal groups will be composed of 7-9
players and the top 12-14 players from this stage (group winners and perhaps some
best second placed players) will advance to the final stage.
Clarification: If a player rated 2350 or higher plays the preliminaries (one or multiple
groups) and fails to qualify, he/she may register directly into the semifinals by paying
an additional fee of 12 euros or 16 USD (and NOT the 20 euros or 26,5 USD that
he/she would have paid had he/she not played the preliminaries).
3- Final
The Final tournament will start soon after the qualifiers from the semifinals are
determined. The Final event will be composed of 17 players, 13 of them will advance
from the semifinals, and the other four will be high rated players (ICCF GM’s or SIM´s
rated equal or greater than 2500) invited by the organizer to ensure a high
tournament category and titles/norms.
The top 3 players in the Final (winner, second and third place) will receive cash prizes.
Prizes will be determined based on the total number of entries (minimum 400 – 200
– 100 euros /530 - 265 – 133 USD). Prizes will be paid out within 2 weeks after the
top 3 players are determined. Prizes will be paid by Paypal, EU-payment or Bank
transfer. Delivery and currency conversion costs will be subtracted from the prize
amount.
