Hi everyone,
Based on the seeds determined by the average current and peak ratings per player, the list of 28 players below will be required to play a single elimination knockout round. There are 14 pairings and the winner of each match will proceed to the double elimination knockout stage, filling the last 14 positions available.
The full list and details on how this list was formed are provided here:

Below are the pairings for the single elimination knockout round. Please use this forum thread to arrange your matches with your opponent. You may start arranging matches now!
As a guide, match dates should be arranged no later than 22nd March. Matches should be completed by no later than 29th March.
The intent of the rules below is to encourage matches to be scheduled on time with clarity and played in a fair manner.
Rules relating to the Single Elimination Knockout Round:
- Forfeits due to lack of arrangement or completion are preferably avoided, but will be considered if potentially causing delay to overall tournament schedule
- Player that has been making effort to schedule match will be awarded victory if opponent has made no reasonable effort to make contact during allocated time
- Players should suggest match times via this public forum thread addressing their opponent with @[opponent name] to serve as a notification and proof of effort made to schedule match within allocated time
- Match times should have date and time zone clearly indicated with either a city or standard time zone abbreviation
- Players are expected to turn up on time once agreed
- A player is considered to be late if turning up later than 15 minutes beyond start time
- Within the Single Elimination Knockout Round, each player will be given one chance to turn up late and reschedule with their opponent, but if a player turns up late a second time after rescheduling then that player will forfeit the match
- One break no longer than 10 minutes is permitted for either side during a match (the intent is that this is to be used for unexpected interruptions, not strategic use)
- Any aids to a player such as computer engine use, opening book reference or advice from other players during a match will be considered cheating and is heavily discouraged with disqualification as a consequence
Good luck to all players and hope you have great matches!

@paulinho98
Do you think it would be possible to play our match around or after 22:00 London time?
@himit how about 10:00 am California time (should be 20:00 or 8 pm for you) March 18th for our match?
@Chijss vs @Stephanie_s_Symphony 19:00 UTC March 19th
@JannLee It seems that if you ping too many people in one post, they won’t get a notification. (For example, I didn’t get a notification here.) So maybe it’s necessary to ping in separate posts?
Thanks for letting me know @Stephanie_s_Symphony,
I recall hearing about this issue before, so we will need to find a way to work around it.
Cheers,
Jann
Fix me the date sir
@dharmasurendar does 2pm UTC work for you on any day? Just for reference, my time zone is EDT, or UTC-4.
@feikoakkount can you play at 20:00 (Peru hour)? or 15:00? (Peru hour) answer me bye
@ashwinikumar (1614) vs 131. @samurai_sri_lanka (1506) will be played on 2:30pm UTC on March 20, 2020.
We have decided this time via personal messaging.
Thanks and regards!
And Good luck @samurai_sri_lanka!
@AshwiniKumar thank you for contacting me to arranging the above agreed time. Good luck to you too.
