Can anyone fill me in on this ? The rules are rather complicated. There are two groups, the singles and the multies. The are paired together in one giant mess. Multies play singles, as well as within their own class. At the end, the top multi wins that title, and the top single wins that title. If there are ties between two or more multies, or two or more singles, the top two (based upon tie-break points), will play a playoff. The playoff is a shorter tournament game, if that's drawn there are two blitz games, and if there is still a tie there is a blitz game where black has draw odds. There is also an amateur title, which will be awarded to the top amateur, with no playoff possible (ties resolve through tie-break). Additionally, there are three medals provided by the sponsor, which will be awarded to the top three programs based upon tie-break (no playoffs, no single/multi distinction). The medals don't have anything to do with any world titles, they are just olympiad medals. The above was the outcome of a large fight in the players' meeting. bruce
