The distribution of single prizes for both tournaments is based on the relative number of participants of the two tournaments. The relation of the prizes for both tournaments is calculated on the number of participants following the formula: participants Chess960 Open/expected number of participants Ordix Open. The expected number of participants Ordix Open is set on the day before the Ordix Open starts plus 20%. The value of 20% is based on experiences in the past.

Important note: Prizes will only be handed out at the official prize-giving ceremony!
