*️⃣All players must take part in the tournament with their official Lichess ID. If there is any problem regarding this matter, they should contact Unity team members 48 hours prior to the tournament. If Unity team approves them, they would be able to create a new account indicating their title and full name on it, complete 30 blitz games and join the tournament temporarily until the problem with their account is solved.

Prizes terms and conditions:
1️⃣All prizes will be paid within 2 days.
2️⃣Cash prizes are given to the top places, ranked by Lichess.
3️⃣If a player is eligible for two awards between the sections, the higher prize is awarded.
4️⃣The USCF (United States Chess Federation) rated players who don’t have Fide 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 section prizes is FIDE Standard rating. If the player doesn’t have that, we will go with blitz rating. If not, then rapid rating. If the player doesn’t have Fide, nor USCF rating, we will consider him/her as unrated player.
8️⃣To receive your prizes please send your PayPal information to: sundayswithunity@gmail.com
