Grandprix Standings after 5 Childrens Chess tournaments.
On April 8th we have the last of this years Childrens Chess Tournaments. So how do people stand in the Grandprix?
We have sections for Primary, Lower Secondary (Form1-Form3), Upper Secondary (Form4 and above), Puzzle Solving Primary and Puzzle Solving Secondary.
At each tournament the standings are taken and depending on position the following points are awarded - if people share a position they share points.
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 | 10 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 6 |
| 4 | 5 |
| 5 | 4 |
| 6 | 3 |
| 7 | 2 |
| 8 | 1 |
Last year MLA Chris Lyttle kindly sponsored our event at Stormont. Brilliantly he has agreed to sponsor the event this year.
We have one tournament left - theres a few places that may be open for the taking. Some of the top players are safe. I will let the tables speak for themselves.....
