This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

It will be a test indeed. Match play can lead to many more rounds than expected.

The bad news is there will be timeouts over the time it takes to complete the tournament.

The good news is there can only be two timeouts in a round for a player and timeouts are erased after 90 days.

Players rated over 1600 will be removed before the tournament starts.

Minimum Games Completed: 255

Maximum Timeout %: 10
