  •   2020/2021 - Clacton Competitions

    • Ladder

      The rules for this competition are explained here.

      Final Play-off
      On the last day the winner will be selected from a play-off of the 3 players with the most qualifying points at that stage and present on that day.
      If more than one player have the same third highest points, elimination ladder games will be played until only 3 players qualify for the play-off.
      Play rate will be 30 mins per player and the first pairing will be from a random draw.
      The winner then changes colour to play the 3rd player in the second game.
      If the first game is drawn the black player will stay on and play as white against the third player.
      The third game will be between the two players who have not yet played each other in the play-off, with players reversing their previous colours.
      The revised ladder will show the winner who will be presented with the Bullwinkle Trophy Board to keep for one year.
      Ties will be resolved by the results of direct encounters - or title shared if that is a draw.
      A 3-way unresolved tie will require a further day to repeat this play-off with a shorter time control of 10 minutes on each players clock.

    •   Club Shield

      The annual event for the award of the Peter Keffler Shield is being held as an 8 round Swiss competition.
      Time controls are 40 minutes per player. A full point bye will be given to non-paired players and count as a played game.
      Half point byes, to a maximum of 2 rounds, may be awarded to absent players prior to the last day of play.
      Half point byes for the last day of play are not allowed unless requested before the start of the competition.
      The outright winner on points will be presented with the Peter Keffler Shield to keep for one year and be "Club Champion".
      Ties will be resolved by the results of direct encounters. If that does not provide a winner the trophy will be shared.

      A Grading Award will be presented for the best player performance relative to their grade, to keep for one year.

      No player can win both trophies.

      Players need 6 played games to qualify.
      Score system: Std. (1,½,0)

      Start Date: 01-Jun-2021
