INDIVIDUAL SCORE

› Players who took 1-3 places in the tourney bring additional points to the team:
| 1 place - 0.3 points
| 2 place - 0.2 points
| 3 place - 0.1 points

› WE WILL DETERMINE THE BEST PLAYERS IN 6 RATING CATEGORIES.
| Time control standings • [ 5+0 ] • [ 3+0 ] • [ 1.5+0 ]

Players from all tournaments are included in one standings.

One cycle (time control) is equal to four tournaments. In three of which, the best 10 players from each rating category are selected. In the fourth, final tournament of the cycle, the best of the best are determined.

The winner is the participant whose sum of points scored in the selection and finals turns out to be the greatest. If a participant played in several qualifying tournaments, the best result will be counted!

In individual standings, coefficients are applied. For defeating a stronger opponent, the player receives additional points. For a victory over an easier opponent, points are slightly lost.

Every 100 points of rating difference is equal to 0.1 points.

PENALTIES

› Penalty points are deducted from a team if:
1). The player violated the Lichess Terms of Service
2). The player closed his account

› The tournament or games is not important!
› The fact that the account is blocked or closed is important!!

› The number of penalty points depends on the points scored by the player.
› The team receives penalty points for each tournament played by such a player.
› All players of the competition are checked automatically every 3 days.

Fair Play Violations:

Some examples of poor fair play are provided below. This is not an exhaustive list, and is provided for illustrative reasons only. We reserve the right to take action beyond the examples of bad sportsmanship provided here, and to have sole discretion in determining what constitutes bad sportsmanship.

• Cheating - We prohibit the use of any external assistance used whilst a game you are involved in is ongoing, which has the effect of improving your knowledge, calculation ability, or otherwise gives you an unfair advantage over your opponent. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to, using a chess engine, opening books, endgame tablebases, and receiving move recommendations from another person or software (including human commenters whilst streaming or social media services), and certain software or extensions at our discretion.In correspondence games only, you may use the Lichess opening explorer, plus any other chess books or opening databases.For clarity, these rules have been expressed in the this grid.
• Boosting - This is where a rating is artificially inflated, such as by arranging wins in advance with an opponent, or knowingly playing an opponent who is artificially deflating their rating, in an attempt to sandbag.
• Sandbagging - This is where a rating is artificially deflated, such as by resigning early, losing or drawing having put no real effort into the game, against an opponent who may be an active and willing participant or a victim.
• Speedruns - Where not covered by any of the other sections, a speedrun (starting from a low rating and trying to increase it as quickly as possible) either being streamed or not, is not currently allowed on Lichess.
• Ragesitting, Ragequitting, and Aborting - This is when a player chooses to keep the clock running or leave the game, forcing their opponent to wait for them, rather than playing on or resigning. These are all considered bad sportsmanship, along with aborting too many games too frequently.
• Sledging - Whilst linked to the communications section in our Community Guidelines, this is the use of chat, draw offers, move take-back requests, time addition, or challenge to a game offers to intentionally distract or throw off an opponent or player.
• Account sharing - The sharing of accounts is generally not permitted. Users may share an account for activities like "hand and brain", for streaming or educational purposes, but this must be clear in the account profile description, with names and ratings where relevant, and to opponents (e.g., by accepting viewer challenges, or playing pre-arranged matches, rather than from general lobby seeks).
• Cheating accusations - The public accusation of a player suspected of cheating is not tolerated, and is bad sportsmanship. If you suspect a user of cheating, please report them via the icon on their profile page, or from the report page
• Ban avoidance - The creation of new accounts to avoid restrictions applied to previous accounts, to avoid the respective bans, without explicit permission from us to make a new account, is not allowed.
• Multiple accounts - Having more than one account is not allowed, barring specific circumstances. For example, titled players are automatically entitled to one "public" account, for play in certain prize events hosted either by Lichess or another tournament organiser, and one "private" account, for casual play online whilst still displaying their titled status. Untitled players can create a second account for similar reasons, with some examples including having a private account to hide opening preparation, playing "blindfold" games, or playing games with any other self-imposed impairment. Creating an excessive number of accounts (typically any more than three) will generally not be allowed, regardless of reasons. Creating and closing multiple accounts will also be treated as contributing to this maximum number. As with all other rules, the specific circumstances where multiple accounts are allowed remain at Lichess' discretion.

Penalties may include, but are not limited to: time outs; rankbanning; leaderboard bans; a public mark on the account; identifying the account as violating our Terms; closure of the offending account and any related accounts; revocation of some or all communication privileges; having access to our website and/or services partially or entirely removed or being in a separate playing pool; and IP banning or device banning. Multiple penalties may be applied, or any mix or combination at our own discretion.
