Childrens Chess Grandprix Standings after January 2023
The standings after 2 tournaments for The Belfast Scholastic Shields. These are given based on results from the series of 5 Childrens Chess tournaments played on Saturday Afternoons at Methodist College. The points are awarded depending on a players position for that month in their section: Primary / Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary (Form 4 and above) and for puzzle solving Primary and Secondary. The top 4 of each section are invited to an award ceremony and Elite tournament in June usually held at Stormont. An article on a previous award ceremony: https://www.ulsterchess.org/Members/ucu00450/2021-2022/childrens-chess-2021-22/stormont-awards-2022/naomi-long-mla-invites-top-young-chess-players-to-stormont-for-awards-and-competition
The scores for the tournaments are calculated on the position of the player in their section.
Position | Points |
---|---|
1 | 10 |
2 | 8 |
3 | 6 |
4 | 5 |
5 | 4 |
6 | 3 |
7 | 2 |
8 | 1 |
The top 3 scores over the series of the 5 tournaments are added together to calculate players scores. If players share points they share the prize.
So how do players stand....
