Thank you to Gordon Rattray of Poly CC for program assistance with generating the new format leaderboards.

Players with an asterisked total have been capped to best 10 events.

As mentioned earlier on the Noticeboard the Grand Prix calculations will differ this year since players totals will be based on their 10 best GP scoring events. The idea is to address repeated concern that players unable to participate in every congress had little chance to catch a runaway leader. This way more players should be in contention for prizes throughout the season. The more active player still has something to aim for since they can try and replace lower scoring events. The change might even make players on 4/4 reluctant to take an easy draw to win an event and go for 5/5 instead. Players with an asterisked total have been capped to best 10 events. GP organisers Hugh Flockhart and Jeremy Hughes, grader Douglas Bryson.

Members are indicated in bold text - only members as at 1/1/2007 are eligible for prizes. Please contact George Anderson if you think your membership status has been incorrectly recorded. Please complete a membership application here. Please note the grading limits have been changed on the bottom two sections. The experimental GP points display in an individual's online grading record is not always correct for all events - however these leaderboards below do calculate GP points correctly (please let us know if not) in respect of results which have been input for grading. (If an event has not yet been submitted for grading then no GP points will have been allocated - GP is a by-product of grading).
