The number and rating gaps of newly confirmed players will constantly impact the number, size and format (Single or Double Round Robin) of the buckets in the table below. Given enough participants, we're aiming for smaller buckets with smaller rating gaps, rather than one big bucket for everyone (as we've done in the SB Monthly). Ratings are (re)set with the next batch. Provisional bucket layout:

Astana |
Buenos Aires |

After the sign-up deadline, winners of previous tourneys may opt to play up. Then, buckets will be finalized.
