Club Championship 2018

The format for the 2018 season's Club Championship is as follows:

• There shall be 3 Divisions.

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

  • • If both players agree on an increment the time control should be all moves in 80 minutes with a 10 second increment added for each move played from the start of the game (this time control is recommended).

    • Otherwise the time control should be 35 moves in 75 minutes plus a 15 minute quickplay finish.

• 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 is Saturday 21st April 2018 - any entries after this date may be accepted at the tournament controller's discretion.

The tournament controller is Martin Taylor.
