4.5. Pairings

4.5.1. Pairings are announced not later than thirty (30) days before the beginning of World Cup.

4.5.2. For purposes of pairings the players are ranked according to the most recent FIDE Standard Rating List as per the moment when pairings are announced. In case of equality of two or more players, the player with the bigger number of games played during the period covered by the list is higher seeded. In case of equal number, the order is decided by draw of lots. If he enters, the reigning World Champion is seeded number one.

4.5.3. The players participating in Round 1 are those ranked from number 51 to 206. Pairings follow the principle of top half vs. lower half reversed.
Match 1.1: P (player) 51 vs P 206,
Match 1.2: P 52 vs P 205,
...
Match 1.78: P 128 vs P 129.

Thus, the highest ranked player of the top half plays the lowest ranked player of the bottom half. The second ranked player of the top half plays the penultimate ranked player of the bottom half. And so on.

4.5.4. The players participating in Round 2 are the winners of Round 1 and the fifty (50) highest ranked players. Pairings follow the principle of top half vs. lower half reversed.
Match 2.1: P 1 vs Match 1.78 winner,
Match 2.2: P 2 vs Match 1.77 winner,
...
Match 2.64: Match 1.14 winner vs Match 1.15 winner.
