TCEC Swiss tournaments start with seeding, to prevent the strongest from meeting already in the too early rounds, in order to get a more balanced development of rankings over the rounds. The seedings affect only the pairings in the beginning and are not groups as they would be in leagues. When the tournament is well underway, the seedings play no more a role.

Tournament format

The TCEC Swiss 7 uses the TCEC Swiss Tournament System with the following configuration:

  • 11 double rounds
  • Group seeding with 44 engines divided in 10 groups. Groups populated using TCEC Season 26 and Swiss 6 compiled final results.

Placement and Playoffs

  1. All engines that have a place in the TCEC Leagues and were not relegated from the lowest league automatically qualify for Swiss 7.
  2. Category 1 below contains 9 engines and all 9 are directly qualified for Swiss 7.
  3. Categories 0 and 2 below together have 9 engines and they will do a playoff for 4 spots in swiss 7: Cat 0+2 Playoff: 1DRR at 30+3 will be played.
  4. Category 3 below has 5 engines and they will do a playoff for 1 spot in swiss 7: Cat 3 Playoff: another 1DRR at 30+3 will be played.
  5. No tiebreaks will be used to decide quallifiers from these playoffs, and resulting placements will be decided on points, if needed with extra playoff pairs.

TD decisions during the event

  1. Swiss 7 round 1 will replay games 31 and 32: Clover to be DQ'd because of timeloss and to be replaced by Integral.

Seeding

TCEC Swiss tournaments start with seeding, to prevent the strongest from meeting already in the too early rounds, in order to get a more balanced development of rankings over the rounds. The seedings affect only the pairings in the beginning and are not groups as they would be in leagues. When the tournament is well underway, the seedings play no more a role.

See the page on seeding for procedural details.

Seeds to be done by last leagues standings and/or elo after testing, to the discretion of the organizers, except last winner gets seed 1 (A1):
