Final Standings for the 2019 Childrens Chess Grandprix

With the April Childrens Chess completed we have the final standings for the 2019 Grandprix. The top four of each section get invited to Stormont for an award ceremony and Elite Chess Tournament.

For the Grandprix we split the competitions into 3 - the Primary School section, Lower Secondary School (Form 1 to Form 3) and the Upper Secondary School ( Form 4 and above) and there are 2 sections in the puzzle solving - Primary and Secondary.

The scores for the tournaments are calculated on the position of the player in their section.

PositionPoints
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.
