Over half-way through the Summer Tournament - how do we stand?

Eleven weeks of excellent chess - whos winning? whos close to meeting the minimum 10 weeks ... We have 9 rounds left, so lots could happen.

We have had 11 weeks of chess. With number of players varying between 20 and 26 per evening and a total of 124games played and 40 participants,

Just a reminder of the format for the competition:

Format The tournament is flexible – players play whichever nights suit them with pairings being made on the evening. Players are usually paired with opponents within their own grading band but late comers may get a difficult draw or may not be paired – so please be prompt.

Rules
1. Players must complete 10 games to be considered for prizes.
2. If a player does not play in two of the last three rounds they will be assumed to have played and lost 2 games. If they play only one then they will forfeit one game.
3. However if a player has played 14 or more games then they are exempt from rule 2.
4. Scores will be calculated on a percentage basis, of a players total games.
