The organisers reserve the right to: • Transfer entrants between events • Withhold prizes from ungraded players if they play in events below their known strength • Redistribute in whole or in part a prize won by a competitor who has won or shared a prize • Take any other measures deemed necessary to ensure the smooth running of the congress
Rating/Grading The November FIDE Rating will be used to determine a player’s FIDE rating. For players who do not appear on the November FIDE Rating list, we will use the December FIDE Rating list if a player appears on that list. If a player does not have a FIDE Rating, we will use the ECF grading list. Standard ratings/gradings take precedence over Rapid and Blitz ratings/gradings.
Grading Information – It is a condition of entry that players agree to their grading information.
