Public Olympiad (and country competition)

Sort:

If you know me, I've tried to come up with multiple different custom tournaments to test players skills. The "No ordinary chess tournament" where sacrifices came at a cost. The knockout tournament where one loss meant you were out for good. Tandem chess was going to be great if you worked together to achieve checkmate. The survival chess tournament was going to be that only the best survived until the end (there was actually two iterations of this one). All of these would have been great tournaments, except for the fact that no one signed up for them (except the knockout tournament, in which I got second). Today, I have come up with two ideas, and I will run both at the same time!

The Olympiad is 5 players form a team to battle another team. Players who rank high at the end of the event will score extra points for their team. The team with the highest amount of points wins!

The Country Competition is players playing in an ordinary tournament, except that you are trying to score points for your country. Your country is determined by your flag on your profile. The country with the highest amount of points wins.

Time control is 10/0 for both. If you are interested in trying this tournament, say "I would like to join the Olympiad/ the Country Competition/both events."
