Requirements for joining a Daily tournament

Anyone can join a Daily Chess tournament if they meet the tournament’s specific criteria, which usually relate to ratings.

Tournament Directors (TDs) can adjust the requirements for each tournament, but the default criteria are as follows:

  • You must have completed at least five rated Daily Chess games on Chess.com.

  • You must have a timeout ratio of no more than 10% in the last 90 days.
