Rules
The competition is open to every member of the club, junior or adult,
in any membership category. Juniors who normally attend only the early
evening session are encouraged to take part in the competition.
The results will be submitted for grading by the ECF.
Format: 5
round Swiss – everyone plays in every round. Plenty of time is
available for each round, so half-point byes are not available.
Entry fee:
£2, payable before, or at the start of, Round 1.
Rate of play:
30 moves in 75 minutes; then add 15 minutes each to complete
the game
Games may be played on any club night by arrangement between the two
players. Play starts at 7:30 p.m.
Timetable
Games in each round must be completed by the following dates:
Round 1: 31 December 2011
Round 2: 18 February 2012
Round 3: 1 May 2012
Round 4: 1 June 2012
Round 5: 1 July 2012
The draw for each round will be made as soon as all of the games in the
preceding round have been played. Pairings will be made by computer
using the August 2011 ECF grading list.
Players must contact each other within three days of the draw being
published in order to arrange their games.
Games not played by the scheduled dates will be considered lost by both
players. If there is genuine difficulty in arranging a suitable date
(particularly for players whose league matches interfere), an extension
may be granted provided the controller is informed at least two weeks
before the scheduled end of the round.
Work or school commitments will
not be accepted as valid reasons for an extension.
Results must be reported immediately to the tournament controller.
Prizes
There will be trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places, as well as junior
age group prizes which will be determined once entries are known. Ties
will be broken by:
(1) Sum of progressive scores; if this is
level, then
(2) Buchholz score; if this is level, then
(3) Sum of opponents’ scores
In the unlikely event that these fail to break the tie, a play-off will
be arranged.
Disputes
In the event of a dispute, the tournament controller’s decision will be
final. If the tournament controller is either involved in, or has an
interest in, the dispute, the matter will be referred to the club
committee.
