Rules of the 6th Lichess Bots Championship

Oh ok! Thank you very much. Now will add @EmptikBotEman too :)

Today is the last day for bots to sign up at challonge.com/tournaments/signup/dukVTF22Gj. I will then add the seeding numbers and I'll inform all participants of the pairings on the 3rd of July.

So the tournament starts on 3rd July not 1st right?

Today is the last day to sign up. Week 1 will be from the 3rd of July until the 9th of July.

Then another @NikitosikVariantsbot

@Ajile said in #19:
> To increase the amount of participants, I'll allow anyone to participate with a maximum of 3 bots if they want to.

Just curious, there seems to be an even number of participants and yet some players are directly promoted to round 2. I'm not really sure if that's how this is supposed to work? @Ajile

Yeah I'd also like to know why the bracket looks like that

Good question. It's because it has to become a power of two that are still in the bracket as soon as possible (so 8 can become 4, which becomes 2, which becomes 1). kb.challonge.com/en/article/why-some-participants-go-straight-to-round-2-1r639q3/

@Ajile

I feel like having the Armageddon matches isn't a good idea; it's basically a lottery at that point and doesn't reflect the true skills of the engines. A better way to do it would be to play 1/2 + 1s or 1/4 + 1s time controls until someone loses.
