Upon arrival at the Congress, you'll be given a badge that will be necessary to access to the tournaments and activities all along your stay. Please keep it on you at all time, and be careful not to lose it.
How to register to the tournament
Registration to the main tournament, as well as verification of your playing strength, will be done at your arrival at the Congress.
Registration to the side tournaments will be done at the Reception area, using a special paper bulletin that you will have to fill and give to the reception (or, if you have Internet access, you will be able to register via our website).
Advice about the rank used for registration:
- The players with an european rating may not register with a rank that is lower than their EGF rating. However, they may register with a rank that is higher, up to 4 Dan.
- If a player has an european rating of 5 Dan or more, then his registration rank used for the congress must be the player's EGF rank.
-
Professional players without an european rating will be assigned a temporary rank of 8 Dan.
- For players based outside of Europe, please try to make sure your rank is adapted to the European rating system. If in doubt, please do ask for advice at the Congress reception area.
For the benefit of all, players are asked to use their common sense and not to overestimate their rank. If in doubt, please do ask for advice at Congress reception area.
