EARLY SUMMER CLUB RAPIDPLAY, 8 JULY

 

The event format will be a 5-round Swiss rapidplay (20 minutes allowed to each player to make all his or her moves) with rounds starting at 6.45, 7.30, 8.15, 9.0 and 9.45.    Entries closed noon Monday.

This event will be restricted to members, both adults and juniors, of Watford Chess Club who are members of the English Chess Federation (ECF) at 'bronze' level or higher.    Results will be submitted to the ECF to count for grading in the rapidplay category.

 

We expect a vast disparity between the playing strengths of competitors in this event and, in order to avoid total mismatches in early rounds, intend to use an Accelerated Swiss pairing system - provisionally, because the final decision depends on the profile of entries, the Baku System will be used for the first three rounds.   To avoid complications, no "on the night" entries will be permitted.    For details of the Baku System, please go to https://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=204&view=article 

 

To accommodate members with differing needs -

1) A half-point bye will be available to those who cannot arrive in time for round 1

2) Half-point byes will be available in rounds 4 and 5 to those juniors for whom this would otherwise be an uncomfortably late night

No entry fee, no prizes, club members only.      To enter, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..     Please signify in which rounds, if any, you wish to take a bye.
