A note on L chords
The Chord Cup and the minesweeper.online event will support L chords; however, the World Championship proper will not, only L+R chords are supported.
This is because the World Championship operates under the ruleset of the official world ranking on minesweepergame.com.
If you haven't played with L+R chords before, we recommend getting used to that well before the tournament. If that is the case, odds are, you play on minesweeper.online - you can switch to L+R chords in settings.
Schedule
This is our preliminary schedule. It might still change slightly, but you can rely on the events being on those days in that order at roughly that time (and not missing a main event if you need to leave at 15:00 on Sunday).
