Refund Policies and Prize Earnings
-
The higher rating between the FIDE Standard Rating and (USCF or National) -100 Standard will be used for defining the prize the player earned on a section and if the player belongs to a section.
-
If the player doesn't have any standard rating their higher FIDE Blitz or (USCF or National) -100 Blitz will be used, then FIDE Rapid or (USCF or National) Rapid - 100 will be used to determine prizes within sections.
-
If a player is eligible for two prizes between the sections, only the higher prize will be awarded.
-
If a player doesn't have a FIDE rating, they will still be eligible to receive the section prizes following this formula. (National Rating (USCF or Other) -100 = Fide rating).
-
If a player doesn't have FIDE or (National Rating (USCF or Other)) regular rating then their highest between their blitz or rapid rating will be used. If a player doesn't have a rating at all then the player will be eligible for all brackets (Except the women if the player is man).
-
A player is eligible for any prize bracket that's higher than his/her rating. The player will be automatically moved to the bracket with the highest prize earned. If a player earns the same amount of money on two or more brackets, then the player will be moved to the higher bracket for prize earnings.
