Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.
Events can span over multiple days. Projections will be graded at the end of each event.
Score - A player’s score is calculated from their match results over the course of all of their matches across an event. Players get 1 point for a win, a ½ point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. For example: If Hikaru Nakamura plays 14 matches in an event and wins 8, draws 4, and loses 2, his score would be 10.0.
Accuracy - Determined by Chess dot com review engine.
Finishing position - To first be determined by host of event (i.e FIDE, Chess dot com, etc).
Finishing position - To first be determined by host of event (i.e FIDE, Chess dot com, etc).
Round Robin Ranking: Finishing position in the Round Robin stage. Grading to be determined by host of event. If host does not provide finishing position results, then determined by final player scores from an event. For example, if Hikaru Nakamura has a finishing projection of 3.5 and he finishes in second place, people that selected "lower" would win those selections because 2 is lower than 3.5.
In the event tiebreaker games are played to determine finishing position, finishing position will be graded upon the conclusion of the tiebreakers.
In the event of a tie in finishing position between two players and no tiebreaking games are played, the default tiebreaking priorities will be:
1) Number of matches played in the event. If both players played the same amount of matches, then
2) Head-to-head record. If both players either did not play each other or tied in head to head record, then both players will be graded with the same finishing position.
A player must compete in at least 49% of their scheduled matches in a tournament or else they will be marked as out. So, if a player plays five of twelve scheduled matches and then withdraws from the event without playing the rest of their games, they will be marked as out.
