Entry for the 2010-11 Competition is now closed
General
Members who enter and do not complete their games cause problems and can spoil the competition for others. Here is advanced warning that if you enter the competition and do not complete the games that I ask you to complete, then I reserve the right to refuse you entry in the following year. If a player withdraws from the competition prior to completing his games then all games played will stand and all outstanding games will be defaulted.
League Competition
The Silver rook this year has 10 entries so I will run it as a single all-play-all tournament. Players will get colours as shown below. The playing rate is Fischer Timing 50 minutes each plus 30 sec per move for all moves, unless both players agree an alternative. All games must be completed by close of evening on Monday 30 May 2011. All results will be eligible for grading.
Determining Positions
The person with the highest score in each league at the end of the evening of 30 May 2011 will be the winner. There will be no extensions or appeals allowed. If, through having equal scores, two or more players are in contention for winner then the number of wins will be taken into account. If this still fails to find a winner then the games involving all players not in contention will be discounted and the remaining players sorted in order, using the number of wins to separate players if necessary. If this still fails to find a winner then the remaining players will enter an all-play-all with colours reversed from the main tournament to find the winner.

Arranging Games & submitting results
You are responsible for arranging your own games. Please advise me, by email copied to your opponent, if you are having trouble contacting any opponent. Results should be sent to me, by email or phone, by both players. If I only receive a result from one player then that result will stand.
