I do not have Elo, DWZ, or any other national rating. Which tournament can I participate in?

Please indicate your playing strength during registration and specify your desired tournament. The tournament director will decide in which category you can participate.

I do not have Elo or DWZ, but I have a national rating from another country. Does this count for classification (A-, B- or C-Open)?

Please provide your national rating during registration and send us a link to the official rating list of your country. Ratings comparable to Elo or DWZ are typically taken into consideration.

I have a DWZ/Elo rating above 1950 and have registered for the A-Open. Can I still participate in the A-Open if my DWZ/Elo drops below 1950 by the start of the tournament?

Participation in the A-Open is allowed if the published rating was at least 1950 at any time during the registration period (from 13.02.205 until the start of the tournament).
