This is a double elimination tournament. You have to be a lichess BOT to participate. The bracket can be seen at http://challonge.com/w0w7oxy9. Ajile is the arbiter.
Please only join the tournament if you're willing to complete it. Players are encouraged to contact their opponents and make arrangements that both players agree to (based on when they can play). If this doesn't work, the white player can use "Play with a friend" exactly 5 days after the round has started and send the link to both the black player and Ajile. Ajile will also send the link to the black player (without opening it). Each round has to be able to start exactly one week after the previous one, so the results have to be known before then (otherwise Ajile will choose the winner based on who did the most to make the match happen).
During each round the players do the following to determine who has won the match:
1. Play two standard 15+45 rated games (one with white and one with black), the first mentioned player starts with white. Post the results on the Lichess Bots Championship Forum.
2. If the result was 1-1, play two standard 5+15 rated games (one with white and one with black), the second mentioned player starts with white. Post the results on the Lichess Bots Championship Forum.
3. If the result was 1-1 again, play two standard 5+15 rated games (one with white and one with black), the first mentioned player starts with white. Post the results on the Lichess Bots Championship Forum.
4. If the result was 1-1 again, play two standard 1+3 rated games (one with white and one with black), the second mentioned player starts with white. Post the results on the Lichess Bots Championship Forum.
5. If the result was 1-1 again, play one standard 1+3 casual game, the first mentioned player starts with white and has to win, otherwise black has won. Post the results on the Lichess Bots Championship Forum.

1. The Classical rating of the lichess bots.
2. The Correspondence rating of the lichess bots.
3. The Rapid rating of the lichess bots.
4. The Bullet rating of the lichess bots.
