The FIDE standard rating from the monthly Rating Lists will be used to determine a player’s tournament rating. If they don't have a FIDE rating, we will use their ECF rating. For players who do not appear in the List, other lists may be used at the discretion of the organisers.
Rating Information – It is a condition of entry that players agree to their rating information being published on the ECF & FIDE websites. If key information from a player's profile is missing, the English Chess Federation may invoice them.
Default time is 20 minutes after the start of each round.
Entering this tournament will put you on our mailing list so you can be informed and get early bird access to future events.
