Millionaire Chess is a 7 round Swiss tournament followed by a 4-player knock-out on Millionaire Monday. For all sections but the unrated section, the top-4 will qualify for Millionaire Monday. A tie-break will decide who goes on to Millionaire Monday in case there will be a playoff based on the number of participants trying to qualify. In the Open group all players who didn't qualify for Millionaire Monday will play a regular 8th and 9th round.
