The event is traditionally held as a round robin tournament with 10+10
minutes handicap time control. All players are divided into 5 groups and
the time difference between two adjacent groups is 4 minutes. For example,
for two players belonging to the A group the time control will be 10
minutes for each, an A-B pair gets respectively 8 and 12 minutes and so on
until 2 and 18 minutes for an A player against an E player.
