Finally, guys, you can expect some clarity in the format for this WC!

Time Control: 3 + 0 for the whole event. Perhaps this will be changed in the final.

)

Format: Exciting!

The championship will start out as a knockout but then...when we have 8 players, the tournament will become a double-round robin Candidates tournament! The first two finishers of that tournament will play a WC match, and the next year, the WC will play one candidate from the 8-player Candidates tournament.

Prize pool: $400

Start Date: January 8

Sign-ups: Start December 25 :)
