Club Championship 2016

The format for the 2016 season's Club Championship is as follows:

There will be 2 Divisions.

Games will be played with a clock; unless both players agree otherwise the rate of play shall be as follows:

• Division 1 - 35 moves in 75 minutes plus a 15 minute quickplay finish.

• Division 2 - Also 35 moves in 75 minutes plus a 15 minute quickplay finish where possible - but a shorter time control of 24 moves in 50 minutes plus a 15 minute quickplay finish may also be used if required.

To encourage games to be played, the first tie-break to be used shall be the "3-2-1" scoring system: three points shall be awarded for a win, two for a draw, one for a loss and none for an unplayed game.

The results of all games shall be submitted for grading.

If a player plays less than 30% of their games then their results shall not count for the final tables (but games played will still be graded.)

The pairings for each round are shown below, refer to the Calendar of Events for the schedule.

The closing date for entries will be 30th April 2016 - any entries after this date shall be accepted only at the tournament controller's discretion.

The tournament controller is Martin Taylor.
