Board Prize Winners

Board prize winners for all 3 divisions 2015/2016

Below is the official results of the calculations for this year's board prizes. The requirements of previous years state a 50% game threshhold criteria, but as there were 15 games , 7 games was the minimum criteria for players due to postponements and defaults. Performances on boards higher wouldn't count towards individual board calculations, unless in a tiebreak scenario.
