Contract template for participants in the FIDE Women’s Grand Swiss
Form: Bank Account Details (both for open and women’s)
The deadline for players to confirm their participation is July 3, 12:00 CET. The organizing committee would appreciate it if those who plan to turn down the invitation could inform FIDE as soon as possible, so a reserve player can take their place.
The deadline for reserve players is July 7, 16:00 CET, but they are encouraged to send their signed contracts at their earliest convenience.
You will note from the contract that it is the players’ responsibility to arrange their own accommodation for 14 nights - there is no “official hotel”.
You can find the full regulations on the FIDE Handbook:
