The classification will be established as follows :

Sum of points accumulated during rounds
In the event of a tie, the participants are separated according to the truncated Buchholz system
If the tie persists, the participants will be separated according to the Elo Performance

Each player has 20 minutes to play their game with an addition of 10 seconds per move played, the equivalent of 30 minutes.

The winner brings the result to the scorer’s table immediately after the game.

In case of a tie, the white leader brings this result. With no result at the end of the round, the result will be counted as double zero.

The team classification is made by combining the results of the 3 best participants from each company.

Unless otherwise specified in these rules, the rules of the World Chess Federation (WCF) apply.
