Both the Masters and the Challengers are 14-player single round-robin events. The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from the start.
In case of a tie for first, blitz games will decide the champion, following the rules set in the tiebreak system created last year. The monetary prizes will be shared evenly.
