Hey everyone! Welcome to the Chess Club of IIM Bangalore!

We will have the Qualifiers for Sangram (Sangram is the Inter-IIM Sports Fest between IIMs B, K, L, and V) on Chess.com. The timings will be so that every interested student can participate, no matter the program or year.

Phase-1 of the selections will have 4 Qualifying Swiss Format Tournaments of 5 rounds each. The time control will be 5|2 for all of them. Each tournament will last for approximately 1 hour.

The Top-12 Male players with the highest "Average Points" at the end of Phase-1 will make it to Phase-2. Similarly, the Top-6 Female players with the highest "Average Points" at the end of Phase-1 will make it to Phase-2.

There will be an Excel Sheet with the results of all Qualifiers, including the Average Points for all players. The link to the sheet will be shared soon.

Note that a player needs to play at least 3 Qualifiers to be eligible for Phase-2.

All players that qualify for Phase-2 will have in-person Offline Practice Sessions. The final team members will be selected from among these players, depending on the required team composition.

The dates and timings of the Qualifiers will be informed soon. There will not be more than 1 Qualifier on any day. We will also ensure that the Qualifiers do not interfere with quizzes or exams. But please remember that aligning the timings perfectly with everyone's schedule may be impossible. That is why everyone needs to play just 3 Qualifiers out of 4. So choose the ones you wish to play in strategically!
