Tournament Information

All of our longplay and rapid tournaments are run as six round Swiss tournaments, with the sole exception of our Club Championships. The Club Champs are run over seven rounds, with the top eight players by rating making up the A grade, the next eight making up the B grade, and all the other players making up the C grade (minimum 7 players required). The A and B grades are Round Robins, and the C grade is a Swiss, unless numbers don't permit a separate C grade. Results for the current year are below. Results from previous years can be found on our Results page.
