I am trying to find out how to tell what the name of each tournament means.
I noticed in the Tournament area FAQ there is a name of a tournament style where you have to play a certain opening.
How do I know if this is the case in any of the current tournaments open?
I would hate to be a fool, join a tournament, and not play it correctly.

It is a banded tournament for players with rating up to 1250. Thinking time is 3 days a move with 14 days of additional timebank. It is played in groups of 4 players, this mean that you play 6 games simultaneously. Not a very high game load for you. In fact, this is a tournament I recommend for you. Join it and have fun.

Is it safe to then ignore (Victornius) as this does not effect the tournament type.
Could I apply this thinking to the other tournaments also?

Originally posted by IM14u2NVI think you are thinking of thematic tourneys where you play a proper opening. They are marked with a T and usually start from a set board position. You don't need to follow the opening lines, but it might be wise to look them up before you get behind in the first few moves.
