The tournament entry fee will be £20.
There are lots of places to eat near the venue. We will be arranging dinner at one of these on Saturday evening and if you would like to join us let us know so that we can plan numbers.
We plan to hold 4 rounds on the Saturday from about 10am to 6pm, and 3 rounds on the Sunday from around 10am to 4pm.
The winner of the tournament will be the British open champion. There will also be a mechanism to award the title of British closed champion. The exact format will be determined based on the number of entries and the range of grades, but will be based on the Swiss system with one or more tournament groups.
The planned time limit for games will be in accordance with FESA rating requirements and will be 40 minutes + 30 seconds byoyomi. It may be necessary to use a different time limit for later games if the tournament is running late.
