GENERAL

  1. Participation in this event therefore means acceptance of the Club Constitution, General rules (see relevant documents) and competition rules herein.
  2. FIDE rules of chess apply except were amended herein by Castlehill Chess Club.
  3. All matches will be played on a “CLUB NIGHT” on club premises.

ELIGIBILITY

  1. All players must be paid up members of the club. The committee and competition organiser can grant an exception to this rule under certain circumstances (Example: new member joining late in the season?).

GRADING

  1. Each player shall have a grading, using the following order below:
  2. a) Chess Scotland published allegro grading; b) Chess Scotland live allegro grading; c) Another national association or FIDE grading, accordingly converted; d) Estimated grading given by the Internal competition organiser.

FORMAT

  1. There will be 5 events held over 5 separate nights. Swiss or All-Play-All, depending on entries on the night.
  2. If only 8 players or less, then all-play-all; If more than 8 players, it will be Swiss pairing with 8 rounds tops.
  3. Players enter on the night of the competition taking place.
  4. The competition nights will be set by the competition organiser.
  5. Competition starts at 7:30pm.
  6. The draw will be done by the competition organiser ASAP after each round.

TIME-CONTROL

  1. Time-Control used is 3 minutes + 2 seconds increments each player.

MATCH POINTS SYSTEM

  1. The match scoring system: Win=1 point; Draw=½ point; Loss=Zero points.
  2. Grand Prix Points system: 1st=5 points; 2nd=4 points; 3rd=3 points; 4th=2 points & 5th=1 point.
  3. Bonus Points: Each player that enters on the night gets a 1-point bonus.

PLACINGS

  1. Placing on each separate night is by match points with the highest points in 1st place then descending order of points, with the top 5 places also getting Grand Prix points.
  2. After all, 5 events have taken place the player with the most Grand Prix point’s finishes in 1st place and the rest in descending order of Grand Prix points.

TIE-BREAKS

  1. Players tied on the same points on the night will share the two (or more) places and the points available will be shared between them (example: Two players finish in 2nd place on the same points, then 2nd & 3rd place grand prix points will be added together (4 + 3 points = 7 points), and divided by 2 (3.5 points), so both players get 3½ points each).
  2. Players tied after all 5 events have been played – no tie-breaks will be used.

TROPHIES

  1. Quick-Play Champion only.

CONTROL

  1. The competition organiser and/or committee may make amendments deemed appropriate to ensure the smooth running of the tournament.
