Club Championship 2006/2007
This year these tournaments will be in the conventional swiss form with five rounds. All players will compete together in the first three rounds. Players in the top half of the table after three rounds will continue in the Major championship. Players in the bottom half will be entered into the Minor championship.
All games are to be 34 moves in 1hr 25mins with a 20 minute quickplay finish.
There will be no time extensions. Unless there are special circumstances, games not completed on time will be decided on grading. The higher graded player will be considered to have won unless the gradings are within 100 points in which case the game will be considered drawn. Any byes which arise will be considered as draws. After the five rounds any player who played less than three games (including byes as games played) will be eliminated from consideration for the championships. The rest will be given their average score to the nearest half point over games actually played (excluding byes) and these scores will then decide the championships. In the event of a tie the tied players will play off.
