Each match-up will include four rapid games (15'+10"), and in case of a tie an Armageddon game (5 v 4 minutes) will be the decider. The action kicks off daily at 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST, 10:00 EST).
The tournament involves two stages. First a round-robin and then a knockout among the top four players in the standings.
