ChessTournamentLichessChess variant
We are pleased to announce that the new 12th season of the Crazyhouse League kicks off on April 3rd 2024, but hurry! Registration is closing soon!

The Crazyhouse League - Season 12

The Crazyhouse League will be a Swiss event between teams. If the teams number 6 or fewer as usually the case, then it will be a round robin so you will face every other player on your board. You will play one match each week consisting of 2 games, one as White and one as Black. Your team score will be the sum of game scores. The winning team will score 2 points, the drawing team 1 point and the losing team 0 points. Individual game points will only be used in case of a tie at the end of the season.

The league is a team league since Season 4. If you indicate in advance that you are unavailable one week, an alternate will be drafted in for you. This should ideally be done by the start of the week (Wednesday). Only if no alternate can be found will the match be drawn. Teams will be selected, either manually by the crazyhouse mod team or by a selection procedure by the players themselves, depending on the choice of selection that season.


Registration

Registration opened on Monday March 11 2024 and will close soon on Tuesday April 2 2024.

To be eligible as a player, you must have a Lichess account with an established (non-provisional) crazyhouse rating of at least 1700* and at least 50 games. Players with provisional ratings are asked to get their rating established as soon as possible.

Please register in this forum by responding with "I am in" HERE.
The league is expected to finish by middle-end of September so make sure that you can be able to play all the season.

You can register as a full-time player or as an alternate.

n.b If your crazyhouse rating is under 1700 but you have played a lot of games and are committed, there may be some flexibility with this rating criterion

We hope to see you there!
