This time, we opted for a more relaxed schedule, allowing players to enjoy casual games between tournament rounds. We played five rounds of Swiss, followed by the top 4 matches. The winner of the Swiss rounds faced the 4th place finisher, while the 2nd and 3rd place players competed against each other. Afterward, there were the Gold and Bronze matches. There were no draws throughout the event. All 55-minute matches ended with results of 1-0, 1-2, or 2-0. In cases where the score was tied at 1-1 and time ran out after the extra 5 rounds, a Chaos Orb toss served as the tie-breaker.

There was also plenty of spare time to play some "Liiga" matches. What is the Liiga? Photo by Antti Turtiainen; all other Aiiieeee! 2025 pictures by Pasi Savolainen.

And because of the kitchen provided by the venue place, our friend Hilma took on the role of chef, preparing delicious food for everyone.

Live music was once again an important part of the Aiiieeee!, and Maiju Jouppi’s synth performance was top notch.
