Welcome to "Lunar Year Lightning Arena", the CSCA Open Events PRIZE and STREAMER PRIZE Blitz3 tournament for February 2024 with a total PRIZE FUND of $600!!!

The event is OPEN TO ALL! So tell your friends!

Distribution of the $600 prize is as follows:

(1) $450 in player prizes ($120-80-70-60-50-40-30) to the Top 7 players.

(2) $10 class prizes for the top player in these five categories: U2400, U2100, U1800, U1500 and U1200, not otherwise placing. (Rating manipulation, i.e.: intentionally lowering your rating, is strictly forbidden and will result in prize ineligibility and report to Lichess for cheating.)

(3) $100 ($40-30-20-10) to the Top 4 STREAMERS of the event. (Streamer score is calculated by the formula of [points/rating x 100]. For example: A streamer rated 2000 and scoring 250 points in the event would have a final prize score of 250/2000 x 100 or 12.5.) To be ELIGIBLE, streamers MUST (a) be established streamers prior to February 1, 2024 (sorry, but new streamers are NOT eligible), (b) enter the streamers competition by providing the link to their stream to @AQL547 via Lichess message AHEAD of event start, (c) play and stream throughout the entirety of the event, (d) engage in a bona fide (real) stream broadcast for purpose of maximizing viewers, AND (e) play and stream fairly and in accordance with CSCA OE Team, Lichess and event rules.

Please review our TEAM PAGE for Lichess FairPlay review and PRIZE payment information. Players found in violation of event, CSCA OE Team or Lichess rules or acting/participating in bad faith will be disqualified and deemed prize ineligible.

MEMBERSHIP: All players participating in a CSCA event are considered "event members". Players interested in registering their CSCA event membership (optional) please register here.

NOTICE TO PLAYERS INTENDING TO USE EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE: This tournament is intended only for honest players interested in competing with other honest players--not computers or other helpers. Please know that games will be very carefully scrutinized for engine and other assistance use, both via computerized and manual methods by Lichess and the organizer. There are many factors that indicate assistance, too many to avoid, and you will be caught, and you will be banned! Unfortunately, your inevitable ban will not come soon enough to prevent you from spoiling the event for honest participants. Therefore, instead of wasting your time and ours, please have some respect for the game, the players and yourself, and go away and do not play here!

If players are disqualified, the organizer may make any logical adjustment to the event, necessary to determine its winner, including reassignment of points or partial points by forfeit, holding a playoff invitational on a later date, replaying the event entirely, or other method. Accordingly, to maximize your chances, regardless of occurrences of dishonesty, it is strongly suggested to all honest players to arrive on time and complete the event.
