  1. I need to talk to a director. Both my partner and I had trouble accessing the website for the 10:00 Pacific Time game. WE finally got on and it said we needed to add money, which is strange because I have automatic withdrawal. After several attempts and being denied, it finally took my money and I paid for both my partner and me..$80.00. Then, when I invited my partner it sent me to a robot tournament and we were not able to compete. HELP!! We want to play in the afternoon session.

    1. The knockouts start on the day listed above (Monday). There is no flexibility. You will be playing against another 4-person team in two sessions of 28 boards each. Start times for each session are published above.

      It is run like a single-elimination tennis tournament-- as long as you keep winning, you keep playing, until only one team is undefeated. The field is cut in half each day.

      Because you are playing long matches (56 boards is one match), luck is minimized, and skill/experience almost always wins. In an open field, you have the chance to play against some of the best players in the world.

      Have fun!
