There will be six (6) class prizes and each class prize winner will receive six (6) months of membership! The winners of the prizes will be determined by comparing their results in each tournament. For each class, the prizes will be announced ahead of the tournament when available. See the class prize rules below for more information on eligibility.
From each ICC First Weekend Showdown tournament grid, 12 players will be randomly chosen for a 3-month membership. If a player already won a prize, he/she is not eligible for a random draw prize. If a winning player’s number is Randomly drawn, another player will then be chosen. All Random Draw Winners will be announced directly at the completion of each ICC First Weekend Showdown.
TRAIN TO WIN!

Disconnecting before the start will remove you from the tournament. If you disconnect after the start, you will not be removed automatically, but you need to return as soon as possible, or the manager will forfeit you. You can follow the tournament in channel 227. Participants will automatically be placed in this channel.
During the tournament, the standings and pairings will be available at websites which will be communicated after the start by the tournament manager. Those sites show updated info when the refresh button is pressed.
The following tiebreaker will be used to determine the winners:
(1), (2) and (3) will be used as reported by the tournament bot after the qualifier finishes. In the unlikely case that there is still a tie after those tiebreaks, prizes will be split.
Class prize eligibility is based on rating being below limit BOTH at the start of the ICC First Weekend Showdown, AND upon its conclusion. In addition, the "best" rating must not be higher than 200 points above the rating class limit already established by the player. Furthermore, management reserves the right to deny a prize to anyone for any reason, who does not belong in a rating class section.
In order to prevent abuse of any type, ICC will implement strict rules regarding class prize eligibility. Please understand that in any case, the decision by ICC management regarding this is FINAL and cannot be appealed.
By entering the tournament, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these rules:
1. You can win only one class prize.
One player only wins the highest prize he achieves in any class he is eligible to. In case there are two prizes in the same amount a player could win, he wins the one in the highest rating class. To illustrate this, consider the following order:
Player Rating Best Score
Player A 1950 8.0
Player B 2100 7.5
Player C 2150 7.0
Player D 1850 6.5
Here, Player A would be eligible to win the first prize in U2200 and U2000. He receives the first prize in U2200, and is disregarded in the U2000 standings.
Player B thus finishes second in U2200, Player C finishes third in U2200, and Player D wins U2000. In contrast, in this situation:
Player Rating Best Score
Player B 2100 8.0
Player A 1950 7.5
Player C 2150 7.0
Player D 1850 6.5
Player B here wins U2200, and Player A, although second in U2200, is disregarded in that class, as he wins U2000. Player C finishes second in U2200 and Player D finishes second in U2000.
2. Your blitz rating must be below the class limit at both the start of the qualifier and the reference date.
In order to minimize abuse, ICC requires that in order to be eligible for a class, the rating of a player must have been below the class limit not only when the tournament is played but also immediately before this tournament was announced, at the reference date. The reference date is June 21, 2018. Please note that this implies that your account must have existed on the reference date in order to be eligible for any class prizes.
3. To be eligible for Class Prizes, you must have played at least 100 rated games in the Blitz category before the start of your qualifier. (Other similar rating categories, 3-min and 5-min pools, may be considered)
4. Your best (Blitz) rating must not be more than 200 points over the class limit.
Best ratings achieved more than 1 year ago are disregarded for this rule. Instead, a best rating from within the last year, as determined by the rating graph, will be used to establish eligibility. On the other hand, all best ratings you have achieved on previous accounts used by you in the past year do count. Example: You are rated 1650, your best rating is 1950, but on another account you have achieved 2050 two months ago. You will not be eligible for the U1800 class (but might still be eligible for the U2000 class).
5. You are ineligible for ANY class prizes, if you have abused the rating system within the last 12 months.
On top of (2) through (5), note that ICC management reserves the right to declare any player ineligible for a certain class. Their reasoning need not be given, and there is no appeals process. We appreciate the cooperation of all participants in keeping this contest friendly, honorable, and running smoothly.
