CCB operates a structured competitive ecosystem:

  • Swiss qualifier tournaments determine which players advance to the Premier League.
  • The Premier League uses football-style scoring (3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss) across weekly fixtures.
  • Season points accumulate across all competitions. The top-ranked player at season end is crowned Season Champion.
  • Divisions may have eligibility requirements, including country, gender, or identity verification. Some divisions require verified identity for gender-restricted competitions.
  • Membership (CrazyChess Club) is required for premium Premier League divisions. Membership pricing is configured per country. A 10-day grace period applies before membership lapse affects league spots or fixture results.
