The first tournament of the season, the Autumn Handicap Quickplay tournament, is on MON 9th September 2019.
This is a fun event and a great way to start off the season. It also a great chance for everybody to get together.
This is open to all club members and prospective members. There are three events.The Pollard Cup is awarded to the club member who achieves the best total from any two of these events.
There is a £2 entry fee for each event, all of which is returned to the participants in the form of three prizes.
Players have 15 minutes in which to make all their moves. For each ten grading points
difference (rounded up) two minutes are added to the weaker player's time and two minutes
removed from the stronger player. No player will have less than 3 minutes for all their
moves.
The arbiter will, when present, stop the game when one clock falls. Players are expected
to act in a sportsmanlike manner and resign when they see their clock has fallen.
Also players should "move a piece and press the clock" with the same hand which is an important rule at the death of a game.
The season kicks off on Monday 2nd September 2019 with the AGM meeting at 7:30 pm.
