Minimum 4 games are required to get eligible to win the Lucky Prizes.

Prizes terms and conditions:
1️⃣All results will be announced and prizes will be paid after 72 hours.
2️⃣Cash prizes are given to the top places, ranked by Lichess.
3️⃣If a player is eligible for two prizes 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.
6️⃣ For Rating Category prizes, we will be considering the Maximum current FIDE rating of all three formats.
For example,
Player has Standard rating 1100 & has Blitz rating 1300 but Rapid rating 1600, it shows player's strength to be 1600 but if we consider 1100, he will be under rated player.
7️⃣To receive prizes please contact the representative in your country.
If your country doesn’t have representative then send your information with your picture ID to this email:
sundayswithunity@gmail.com
Winners have the options to choose one of these 2 ways to receive their prizes:
1. PayPal
2. Western Union
Winners are responsible to cover the cost of all transfer fees.

🥇King/Queen of 2020🥇

🎁10K 100% Guaranteed🎁


Starting Sunday May 24th, 2020 all the way to December 27th, 2020 we have 32 Sundays. That means 32 Unity Weekly tournaments.

We came up with a plan to add some more excitements to the competitions by making special prizes for King/Queen champions of these 32 sessions.

For every 4 sessions, we get together the 4 champions of all sections (21 total) and make a double round robin tournament. The winners of these matches will be the champion of that season (4 sessions).

On the first and second week of the new year, we will have a round robin championship between the champions of each season. The winners of these matches will become the King/Queen champion of 2020!

Here are the Sessions and Seasons:
(10-13), (14-17), (18-21), (22-25), (26-29), (30-33), (34-37), (38-41)
Total: 8 seasons.


Finals of the season Regulations

1️⃣ Time Control: The time control is just like our weekly tournaments (3+0)

2️⃣ Camera: All players are required to play under camera during these matches.

3️⃣ Format: The players will play in the double round robin format.

4️⃣ Final of the Year: The winners will book their place in the final of the year.

5️⃣ Tie: If two players tie for the first place in one of these finals, they will play two bullet games (1+0) and if there is a tie again, an armageddon game (White 4 Minutes, Black 3 minutes) will be played between them.

6️⃣ Tie with 3 or more players: In this case a bullet double round robin will be played between the players tied for the first place. If there is still a tie, the armageddon will be played between the two players with higher Tiebreak. Tiebreaks are more wins, more points in the games of players on tie, more wins with black pieces, and finally FIDE Standard rating.
