Introducing the first RATING CATEGORY tournament on ChessCube! The Mid-Week Mania gives you a chance to win, no matter what your rating is.

This is how it works:

* Prizes will be awarded to the overall top 20 players
* Prizes will also be awarded to the top 10 players in each rating category, no matter what position they finish

* Rating categories include 0-1399, 1400-1599, 1600-1799, 1800-1999 and 2000-2299
