In Response To: Question about match strategy for Grandmasters (Phil Simborg)

It is true that the definition for such things as 'Grandmaster' is way too hard to find on the web site. A Grandmaster is anyone who has a PR of 4 or better with the necessary experience points obviously. You can look at the breakdown here.

Last time I checked matches had to be a certain length, 7 points, in order to count towards BMAB. This puts the concern of your blitz matches out of mind as blitzes are typically 5 points or less.

I could make other informed but not certain guesses at your other questions but I'll let someone who for sure knows tackle them. This should be clearly spelled out somewhere easy to find and as far as I can see, it isn't.
