Expectation is for another announcement on Sunday 15th August to clarify the Candidates draw, any rules and the schedule ahead. Aim would be to see first round matches being completed by Sunday 22nd August, with one round proceeding per week. This is just one week later than the original tournament schedule drafted here:
lichess.org/forum/team-crazyhouse-world-championship/crazyhouse-world-championship-2021-tournament-schedule
The projected date is Sunday 7th November for the winner of the Candidates round robin to be determined. This player will be the challenger that competes against defending champion Jasugi99 in the Crazyhouse World Championship Final of 2021, which would be scheduled to commence Sunday 14th November.
As always, there's usually some flexibility required to get all Candidates matches completed. More will follow in the next announcement. Looking forward to the next stage of the event!
