Rules and regulations

The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 80 minutes plus a 1-minute increment per move. FMJD regulations prohibited players from agreeing to a draw before each had completed 40 moves; doing so required the referee to award both players 0 points.
The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, the following tiebreaks were applied:
  1. Number of wins.
  2. Results in the direct encounters between the tied players.
  3. Results obtained against opponents in order of their final ranking.
