Blitz Tournament --> 3+2 each side

A win is one point to the winner, a draw is half a point to each player, and a loss is 0 points to the loser. Non-elimination and each game is with a different opponent. There will be 7 total rounds. At the end of the rounds, points earned will determine winners. In the event of a tie, the two players will play each other in a series of games with increasingly faster time controls beginning with 3+2 until one player has more points.

Playing an illegal move forfeits the game unless otherwise granted a take-back by your opponent. However, please note that they are not obligated to give you one.

The chess clock is to be hit with the hand you use to move your pieces. Castling is to be done with one hand, touching the king first.

Touch move/clock move is agreed upon by you and your opponent.

In the event of an illegal move, king capturing is permitted (do not be surprised if someone takes your king).

First place winner receives a $100 cash prize.

The second-place winner receives a $50 gift card to The Bier and Cheese Collective.

The third-place winner receives a $30 gift card to The Bier and Cheese Collective.

AFTER YOUR GAME please set up the board and tell me the results! It's very important that the results are accurate!
