Games will be played on the dates listed only – there will be no reserve days. If you cannot play in a particular round for any reason, you may claim a half-point bye by informing David Levens at least a week before the round is due to be played. You may not claim a half-point bye in Round 5.
Any player who defaults two games will be withdrawn from the tournament.
Games will be played at the rate of 30 moves in 75 minutes followed by a 15 minute rapidplay finish.
Prizes will not be shared. Any ties will be broken in the following order: (1) the individual results between the tied players; (2) the sum of progressive scores; and (3) a single ‘Armageddon’ blitz game: White has 6 minutes and Black has 5 minutes, but in the event of a draw Black is considered to have won. If an Armageddon game is necessary it will be played immediately after the conclusion of the last round.
All games will start at 7:30 p.m., so juniors who normally attend the early session should instead come for the later 7:30 session.
The results of the competition will be submitted for grading.
There are three categories: Club Champion; under 16; and under 11. For the latter two categories you must be under the required age on 1 September 2005. Players can only win one title.
There is a £2.00 per player fee to take part, which must be paid before the end of the first round.
