PLAY will start at 9.30am. The day will finish at about 5.00pm after the prize giving; this will be as soon as possible after the last round finishes. We expect that the U8 and U10 sections will have quicker rounds and so may have an earlier prize-giving. |
 |
TIME CONTROL is 20 minutes for each player plus 5 seconds per move; there will be 6 rounds. All players will play in all rounds (except for byes). E.P.S.C.A. Rapidplay rules will apply: http://www.epsca.org.uk/rules/epscaquickplayrules06.pdf |
