Each team will play 9 matches of 10 boards. The matches will be played between 30 September 2024 to 6 October 2024.
The matches will be scored in VPs, using the WBF continuous VP scale.
Scheduling matches - how it works
Each team will submit an online form showing their availability to play matches between 30 September 2024 to 6 October 2024. Ideally each team should offer 20 or more slots; the absolute minimum is 12.
The RealBridge software will generate a schedule of matches for each team. These matches will be at times that the team has said they are available. The software will assign the team to play against other teams that are available at the same time.
Either four or eight teams will qualify for the knockout stage, depending on the number of entries.
Assuming four qualifiers, 1st will choose from 3rd and 4th.
Each knockout match will be 32 boards. There will be no carryover.
The knockout matches will be arranged directly by the teams, with help from RealBridge as necessary. The matches will then be hosted on RealBridge.
The RealBridge sessions for each match will be set up by the RealBridge team. Each player will be provided with a custom link to join the session.
For players who are new to RealBridge or who want to check their device setup, practice sessions will be arranged before the event.
Each team will have a page dedicated to them. It will contain:
🔗 Links for each player in their team, for each session.
📞 Support telephone numbers and 📧 email addresses.
🔗 Links to useful information
The links for the team pages will be sent to all the players a few days before the start of the event.
These are currently unchanged from the June contest.
