Dear chess fans,

Season stats
The average tournament rating of this season 5 was 1877, again the highest so far! Seems the tournament is attracting more stronger players than weaker ones. Also participation-wise this season marked a new record with 15,4 players on average per round (old record from S5 was 13,9). So it is going in the right direction.
In total 22 players participated - less than in the last season, but it went only over 7 rounds! They took part on average in 4,9 out of 7 rounds which is quite high.
4 players this time had shown up less then 3 times and according to the rules therefore are not considered for the prices!
Thank you all for your participation & engagement (and the upvotes)!
Here you can see all results of the 7 rounds of season 6:
As always, I will do the exact calculation of the prices after the payout of this post.
In the next 2 weeks or so there will be a break and somewhere in July the next season will start. Watch out for the announcement post!
See you soon in Season 7!
