Ok here’s my thought - I can almost say with certainty that the points will be distributed based on rating. Like, if there’s one person here over 2200, they will likely be undefeated… it’s hard to do a tournament when everyone is rated differently, so it won’t be much of a true competition in that sense.
That being said, I’d still be excited to play people here and participate just for the fun of it!
Mhh, that's a very good point. Maybe no sponsored prize pool then (only buy-ins?); at least distribute across top 3 or something or really just for fun with no sats involved.

Yeah I'll think through the prize pool thing... money for chess games with anonymous players online is a massive incentive for cheating, and I don't have any great solutions for that off the top of my head...
