Concept

7 Swiss rounds (everyone faces opponent with the same amount of wins - as much as possible). The clocks will be set to 20 minutes for every player. A final will be played between the best 2 Belgians to determine the 36th Belgian Othello Champion.

Promising tournament

The promising tournamen traditionally is being held in the morning. Depending on the number of players, between 4 and 6 rounds are played. Minimal 5 and maximum 6 games are planned. Afterwards the promising players can join the A event. The time on the clocks is 15 minutes per player per game. A semi final will be played between the best 2 Belgian junior players and the 2 seesed players (Eline and Jana Verstuyft). A final will determine the Belgian Othello Junior Champion 2019.
