May Tournament Marathon on ICC and new Monthly Standard with Prizes!

On Saturday, May 8, the Tomato family of automated TDs
on the Internet Chess Club will begin a 24-hour Marathon of
Tournaments.  These tournaments will be divided into 5 sections.
There will be 2 classes (1600+ and U1600, both 5 0) for the
blitz players and 2 classes for the bullet players (1800+ and
U1800, 1 0) as well as a 15 0 standard section.

The first tournaments will begin at exactly 12:00 noon server time
(EDT) on Saturday, May 8 and the Marathon will conclude at the
end of any tournaments ongoing at 11:59 am server time Sunday
May 9.

The winners in each of the 5 sections will receive prizes.  Winners
will be determined by cumulative number of points scored in the event.
There are also prizes for most games played in the 5 sections.
For more information about prizes and complete rules of the Marathon,
please read help Marathon on ICC, or visit www.littleper.com.

Moreover, there is a new type of tournament: Play Standard each
Saturday at 12 noon for the whole month! The difference is that there
is no series of 4-5 single tournaments, but the tournament is paused
each week after 3 rounds and resumed on the next.  Prizes will be given
to overall winners and players who take part in every round! Read
help Monthlystandard for information about this.
