BELFAST SOUTH CHESS CLUB OPEN TOURNAMENT 2016-2017

 

This is a flexible open tournament similar to that of the Eglantine Summer Tournament. Players may play up to a maximum of 20 games but a minimum  of 10 must be played to qualify for a prize. Regardless of the overall number of games played 2 must be within the last 3 weeks of the tournament to be eligible for prizes. To maximize the number of players receiving prizes, in the event of a player being eligible for a grading as well as a 1st/Runner- up prize, the grading prize will be awarded to the next best player. There will also be 2 prizes of £10 for the best game played before and after the Xmas break.

For grading purposes the latest UCU ratings list will be used. Players will be assigned a grading band according to the tournament entry list.  As far as practicable but not exclusively, pairings will be made within grading bands.
