This means that all players play 7 games and no-one is ‘knocked out’ of the tournament.
Time Limit:
Chess clocks will be used in this event. There will be a short demonstration on the use of chess clocks before the start of the tournament. The time limit is 12 minutes per player per game.
Prizes:
Trophies awarded to top scoring players: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.
Trophies awarded to top 3 placed schools in each division.
All participants receive an electronic certificate of participation.
