Hello everyone!
Our registration period has come to a close. It's time to start!
We reached a total of 44 accepted registrations this year, that's less than the 56 participants of the previous RKWC edition. Last year we would have a playoff round as well, but we didn't due to the high total of participants. This year we will have a playoff round, if you lose you are out.
The match format for the 2022 RKWC is: 10 games of 3+2, and whilst either player can stop the match as soon as a decisive advantage (5.5 points) has been reached, it is also possible to fully complete the 10-game-series. If a match ends in 5-5, then pairs of two 3+2 games will be played until the score is unequal after an even number of games. In case the score reaches 8-8 the same procedure is repeated with the time format changing to 1+0.
As soon as you read this, please follow these steps:
- Contact your opponent and offer at least 3 match times over 2 days in UTC, see time.is/UTC if you don't know your timezone.
- If you agreed on a match time, please post the time in this thread. Otherwise message @Natso or @FS-Schach.
- Play your match.
- Post the result, and a link to the first game in the match results thread: lichess.org/forum/team-racing-kings-wc/2022-rkwc-match-results). Otherwise message @Natso or @FS-Schach.
- Wait for your next pairing to be announced. When you lose this round you are out of the RKWC, after that if you lose TWO matches.
The first round pairings for the single elimination bracket are listed below. Each players' seeding is shown behind their username.

The full schedule is on the team description and might be changed. You can schedule as soon your opponent is listed on Challonge.
All rules can be viewed on sites.google.com/view/racingkingswc/2022-rkwc/2022-rules but if there are any questions you can't find an answer to, don't hesitate to contact @Natso or @FS-Schach.

There is no winners semifinals and losers round 7 & 8. Challonge is wrong on this. We will do a round robin instead. This will be communicated.
Good luck to all participants!
