SUMMARY:Strategem Cup Final · Strategem Cup Series · Season 1
DESCRIPTION:🏆 The Strategem Cup Final: four weeks of Thursday Night Blitz come down to one afternoon. \nThe top 8 players in the Season 1 standings meet in a seeded knockout at 10+5. Every match is two games\, one with each color. Level after two? Blitz tiebreaks\, then Armageddon. The winner of the final lifts the first Strategem Cup\, and the semifinal losers play for third place. \nPrizes: $100 for the champion\, $50 for the runner-up\, $25 for third. \nQualifiers: register on Strategem Play once the standings are final after Week 4. Cameras on for this one: join the Zoom check-in at 1:45 PM Central using your Strategem username\, and keep your camera on for your matches. The round-by-round bracket is live on the tournament page\, so friends and club members can follow along. \nNot in the top 8? Come watch the boards\, and get ready for Season 2. \nFormat: Knockout (two-game matches\, blitz and Armageddon tiebreaks). Players are seeded by rating (the top seeds get any byes). Each match is two games\, one with each color; the winner advances and the loser is out. Level after two games: two 3+2 blitz games with colors reversed; still level: one Armageddon game (White 5 minutes\, Black 3 minutes\, a draw counts as a win for Black; colors by coin toss). The winner of the final is the champion\, and the two semifinal losers play a third-place match in the same format. \nPrizes: 1st $100 · 2nd $50 · 3rd $25. Cash prizes for tied places are pooled and split evenly. Prizes are paid after the organizer certifies the fair-play review; winners claim them within 30 days. \nStrategem Cup Series · Season 1 final: open to the top 8 in the season standings.
