General information: (1) For reasons of space and comfort, maximum entry 40. The organisers reserve the right to decline entry, whether due to this figure having been reached or for any other reason. (2) The international laws of chess shall apply. (3) If a player has not arrived at his/her board 5 minutes after the start of a round s/he will be defaulted and his/her opponent should report to the Controller’s desk for possible re-pairing. (4) In the event of two or more competitors finishing with the same score, prizes will be divided – there will be no tie-breaks. (5) Competitors are eligible to win more than one prize – so, if for example an outright winner is under 10, s/he can expect £125. (6) Competitors will normally play in all six rounds. However, if someone decides to withdraw early, s/he should inform the Controller’s desk before the draw for the next round is made – this avoids inconveniencing others. (7) The Arbiter’s decision in all matters shall be final. (8) Competitors and parents should be aware that results may be published on the ECF website (notably, for grading purposes) and elsewhere and, in entering this tournament, they consent to their data being used for tournament and administration purposes. (9) Although there is a lounge bar at the venue, this will not open until 5.0. It serves a wide range of drinks but no food so it is recommended that parents bring some food with them. (10) Although this is a Swiss-paired tournament, the organisers reserve the right to adopt accelerated Swiss pairings in early rounds if the profile of entries appears to them to make this desirable,
