Welcome to another season of the Friendly Open tournament series. Season 16 will begin with the first event on Sunday, March 23rd, at 17.00 GMT+0. That's late afternoon/early evening time in Europe.
As usual, it will be 4 swiss rounds, plus a final if there is more than one undefeated player. Normal time limit of 55 minutes. Restricted List v1.14 applies.
Like last season, the winner of the event automatically qualifies for the top 8 cut, which will decide the overall winner of the season after five events.
Please register at least 15 minutes before the start of the tournament. Or better yet, register now! :)
Since we want to hold five events before the World Cup starts in April, Season 16 will be played at a quicker pace than usual. Look for Event 2 already on the following day, Monday 24th. :)
