Rate Of Play:

40 moves in 100 minutes, then after Black’s 40th move players receive an additional 20 minutes and the game is completed in the time remaining.

 

Entry Fees:

£30 in all categories provided the entry is postmarked before 1st October. All entries after that date will be charged a late entry fee of £4. ECF members may deduct £2.

 

Refunds:

Players who withdraw before 1st October may request a refund which will be subject to a £2 administration fee.

 

Grading Information:

2011 Grades will apply to all sections (see ECF website http://grading.bcfservices.org.uk/). All results will be sent to the ECF for grading. It is a condition of entry that players agree to their grading information being published on the ECF website.

 

Byes & Pairings:

Players may claim a half point bye in any round except the last. ECF pairing rules will be used. After 30 minutes from the start of each round absent players will be defaulted and a new pairing may be made for any player whose opponent has not arrived or for any player who was initially awarded a bye.

 

Prizes:

Players without ECF grades will be given a converted or estimated grade where possible. The organisers reserve the right to redistribute a grading prize won or shared by a player who has won or shared a main prize.

 

The Steve Maggs Memorial Trophy will be awarded for the best performance by a Manx player, as judged by the Controllers.

 

The controllers decisions will be final in all chess matters.
