The Richardson Cup like, the Spens and Campbell Rosebowl, is FIDE rated.
The proposed tournament would be an individual FIDE rated tournament, possibly with a minimun grading. If this was the case, we would also probably run a secondary FIDE rated tournament open to all. Suggestions include 15 Minutes each per player per game possibly with those infernal incremental time controls. Its all up for discussion.
I never thought about a team rapid play tournament (also FIDE rated) but it's a cracking idea, well worth following up. Also a great way of spending a day appealing to those who prefer shorter one day tournaments
We may have more venues available over the next season allowing for more events. We must always make sure however that we dont dilute what events which are already out there.
All in all I am very optimistic we are getting there.
