Hivechess Tournament - Payouts of Season 3 and Start of Season 4 Tomorrow
Dear chess friends!
As promised, I have distributed the prices and payouts from season 3 to all participating players. The price pool at the end was 570 Hive, slightly less than the one from season 2 (660 Hive), because my posts on Steem gave hardly any rewards anymore and so I almost completely stopped posting there.
Thanks again to all the Upvoters and Supporters!
Here is the payout table:

After the little break Season 4 is a special Christmas season and will start tomorrow. The rules are basically the same as last time, just that it won´t go over 11 rounds, but only over 7, with some shortened schedule (there will 5 rounds be played on the next 5 Fridays, and the last 2 rounds on the 26. and 27. Dec.). Also I think less rounds make the tournaments more attractive. Let´s see...
The first round is played tomorrow Friday, 20h GMT as usual.
Time Mode: 3+1 (3 minutes per game, 1 second increment), 9 rounds Swiss mode

RULES
- For Hivers, Steemians, Blurters and all others!
- Players of all skill levels are welcome, from newbies to experts, you just need a free Lichess-account!
- Every Friday is one round (with some exceptions)
- Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2,...), rated, berserking allowed (except in Swiss mode)
- The winner of each round gets 8 points, the second 7,... and the 8th 1 point. In case two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
- PAYOUT: This season goes over 7 rounds and points are summed up. All Hivechess-related post rewards are pooled and 90% go to the price pool. The winner will get 30% of that price pool, the second 20%, the third 10%, the rest is divided equally among the other players according to the no. of rounds they have played. So everyone has a chance to get something and the more you play the more you get! Prices are payed out in Hive Tokens.
- If I don´t know your Hive username, I can´t consider you in the rankings, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments or in the Lichess chat
- If you have not yet joined our team in Lichess, please do it here, so that you can participate (required for Swiss tournaments only).
Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues! The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?
