3️⃣If a player is eligible for two awards between the sections, the higher prize is awarded. A player is eligible to win both the sectional prize and the Lucky prize.
4️⃣The USCF (United States Chess Federation) rated players who don’t have Fide standard rating, will be eligible to receive the section prizes. Here is the formula to calculate their Fide rating: (USCF-100= Fide rating). That means a USCF player with rating of 1650 would be eligible to receive the section prize for under 1600 (1650-100=1550).
5️⃣Winners of class prizes can only receive prizes related to their rating level.
6️⃣The criterion for rating prizes is FIDE Standard rating. If the player doesn’t have Fide standard rating, we will go with Blitz rating. If no Blitz rating, we will go with Rapid rating. If the player doesn’t have Fide, nor USCF rating, we will consider him/her as unrated player.
