I think we decided on not having the event FIDE rated this year (as it's significantly harder to report data for double rounds), although I'm not certain of this. David/Alex...?

Will match or game points be used?

Game points!

Ok

You just report it as a great big swiss! *hides before Alex tells him off*

Great tournament !
Don't mind 13 rounds or 18 rounds
Got hot in the hall -windows or aircon or fan ?
Will play every year since it brings out a lot of strong players and helps the juniors too.

Agreed - thanks Jonathan and David for organising and the arbiters for keeping things running smoothly.

Really enjoyable day - great chess, loads of strong (some very strong!) players.

Congratulations to the whole team for organising/running this event (and to the sponsors for giving me shortbread and a book )

Another enjoyable event well done !!

So many people got a chance to shine which doesn't happen at other events.
I beat Matthew Sadler. Crawford McNab beat me. Murad Abdulla gets a hard game with John Shaw. Matthew Turner wins Scottish championship. I play Walter Buchanan for the umpteenth time. Juniors get coaching by players 1000 points above them in between games. A big crowd watches the superstars etc.
