Frequently Asked Questions
What time control should I use?
Classical (60+min/side) for serious events, Rapid (10-30min) for shorter tournaments, Blitz (3-5min) for quick events. Specify increment if desired.
How do Swiss pairings work?
Players with similar scores are paired each round. No rematches. Odd players get byes. Swiss allows many players with fewer rounds than round robin.
Can I run online chess tournaments?
Yes! Use Lichess, Chess.com, or similar platforms for games. Coordinate pairings through ReadyRaider and have players report results.
