Join us for our inaugural Chess Tournament, where brains clash to crown the UiPath Community Chess Champion!
In this virtual event hosted on the platform www.chess.com, participants will engage in 5-minutes Blitz Matches, with no increments. (Meaning: each player has 5 minutes on the clock to make moves, and no time is added after each move)
We want to make sure the participants have fun, and get to play multiple games. The "Swiss Format Bracket" provides multiple opportunities to play and compete against equally skilled Community Members. After at least four rounds of play, the top eight players will advance to the Finals, which take place on Friday, May 17, (13:00 - 14:00 UTC+1 - the same time as this qualifiers event).
Whether you're a seasoned grandmaster, a novice, or simply a spectator watching other community members battle it out, this tournament promises excitement and the chance to etch your name in the annals of the UiPath Community. Register now to secure your place among the contenders and spectators!
