The annual IECG Cup
is started with preliminary rounds once a year.
Participation is open to all IECG members, regardless of their chess strength.
It consists
of 4 stages: preliminary, quarterfinal, semifinal
and final.
If possible in the first three stages a choice is offered between
playing by mail or playing on the server.
Except for
the Finals, at every stage all games still unfinished after 13 months are adjudicated.
The preliminary stage is started once a year, with groups of (in principle) 7 players, single
round robin. The first two placed (and all tied) in each preliminary group
qualify to the quarterfinal stage.
Quarterfinal
groups are also in principle 7 players
groups, single round robin. The first two of each quarterfinal qualify for the
semifinal stage.
Semifinal
