SUMMARY:CSCA Lichess OE May 25th Unlimited SuperBlitz Arena (Online)
DESCRIPTION:More Info here: https://lichess.org/team/csca-unlimited \n\n\n\nCSCA Online Tournament Event — REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!!May 25 @ 11:00 AM – CSCA Unlimited SuperBlitz Arena sponsored by the CSCA on Lichess.org. Duration: 120. Minimum 100 Blitz games required. Join team and register to participate. Prize: 60% of entries\, $100 (30-25-20-15-10) guaranteed! Just $5 entry! REGISTER HERE! \n\n\n\nFORMAT & PRIZES\n\n\n\n\nTournaments may be organizes in any Lichess-permissible format and time control. Players may suggest the type of events they would like to see included.\n\n\n\nMinimum prize funds are the greater of 60% of collected entries or $100. Prize funds may be increased\, but never decreased below the minimum.\n\n\n\nThe minimum individual prize may not be below $10.\n\n\n\nDistribution of the prize is made in declared increments\, except that any amount short of creating a new top prize may be added to the top 1 to 3 prizes\, added as an additional lower prize(s)\, or offered as a bonus for placing players at the discretion of the organizer. Bonus prizes may not be below $5.\n\n\n\nAt least three placement prizes are guaranteed. Lower prizes may be placements or category-based\, i.e.\, Top U2100\, 10th place\, bonus\, streamer\, etc.\n\n\n\nFor example\, in a $5 designated increment increase\, the distribution of the $100 minimum is $30-25-20-15-10 (prizes start at $10 and increase by $5). However\, if the prize fund collected is $300 based on the 60% rule\, the distribution would be one of the following: $80-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10; $70-55-40-35-…; $65-55-45-35-…; or bonuses: +30 or +20-10 or +15-10-5\, or any other combination up to six +5 bonuses. Bonuses are typically based on accuracy of performance of placing players or rating of performance. Other options would be an additional $30 or $20-10 or $10-10-10 prize(s) for more placements or category awards.\n\n\n\nThe final amount of the total prize fund is determined and announced as soon as possible following the conclusion of the event.\n\n\n\nRegistration is required\, together with entry fee payment. All registrations remain at all times confidential.\n\n\n\nEntry fees are low\, between $5 and $10\, as a standard. A higher fee may be charged on occasion to provide an event with a higher prize fund\, especially if players request the adjustment. However\, we intend to keep events as inclusive as possible for as many players as possible\, worldwide. (Unfortunately\, due to online payment processing charges\, entry fees below $5 are not feasible.) Entry fees are NONREFUNDABLE. Unfortunately\, with such a low entry fee\, the cost of refunds exceeds the price of entry.\n\n\n\nFor now\, all prizes are paid and all fees collected via PayPal\, only.\n\n\n\nAll players\, regardless of location\, are welcome!\n\n\n\nBelow Team Rules apply.
