System of play, the rate of play and ranking of players
The tournaments are Round-Robin tournaments (9 rounds). The playing session will be about 5 hours: 40 moves in the 90 minutes followed by all remaining moves in 30 minutes with the addition of 30 seconds per move from the beginning of the game.
The number of points scored determines the final ranking of players. If two or more players are involved in the tie, then the tie is broken by the number of games played with black pieces, by the number of wins and by the Sonnenborn-Berger system.
