Format

The ChessKid Cup has a Play-in stage, open to all grandmasters, and a Knockout stage featuring three divisions. Each division has separate prize funds, with players also winning Tour Points according to the division they played in and their placement. By the end of the tour’s sixth event, the players with the most Tour Points get a spot in the CCT Playoff.

Knockout

The Knockout stage features 56 players playing across three different divisions based on their Match Play results:

Division I: 8 players.

  • Top-3 players from previous Event Division I
  • Winner of previous Event’s Division II
  • The 4 winners of the matches between the top-8 players from the Play-in Swiss

Division II: 16 players.

  • 1st-8th from Swiss play matches; losers get in
  • 9th-32nd from Swiss play matches; winners get in

Division III: 32 players.

  • 9th-32nd from Swiss play matches; losers get in
  • 33rd-72nd from Swiss play matches; winners get in

Each division has prize money and Tour Points on the line.

The Knockout stage has the following format:

  • Each division features a double-elimination knockout bracket.
  • The time control is 15+3.
  • Divisions I and II feature four-game matches in the Winners Bracket and two-game matches in the Losers Bracket.
  • Division III features two-game matches in both the Winners and Losers Brackets and a four-game match in the Grand Finals. 
  • If there’s a Grand Finals reset (player coming out of the Losers Bracket wins the first set), the second set features a two-game match.
  • A bidding Armageddon game with a 15-minute base time breaks ties.
