FIDE announces proposed changes to 2025 Circuit Regulations

12/21/2024 – FIDE has announced plans to update the 2025 FIDE Circuit Regulations, aiming to enhance fairness and competitiveness based on feedback from the 2024 Circuit. Key proposals include adjusting the number of players eligible for points in round-robin tournaments, recognising double round-robin super tournaments with high Elo averages, and reducing points for events with multiple rounds in a single day. These changes seek to better reflect the value of high-quality tournaments and are set for final approval by December 31, 2024.
