Monetary prizes to be shared equally among tied players. If there was a tie for 1st place, the top 2 players would play a playoff match. This match would include 2 games played with a time control of 3 minutes plus 2 seconds increment after each move, with a drawing of lots to decide which player would start with White. If the score was still level, the players would play a sudden death Armageddon game. Tournament director: Mark Gluhovsky. Chief arbiter: Laurent Freyd.
