GENERAL INFORMATION
Each player has 30 minutes to complete the entire game. FIDE Rapidplay rules apply and these will be displayed. All tournaments are Swiss System events, NOT knockouts. Players take part in all rounds.

The latest available British Chess Federation Grading List will be used, but an A-C grade in standard play will take precedence over a rapidplay E grade.

In the event of a tie for any grading prize, the prize will be won by the player with the lowest grade. Ungraded players are welcome to take part as a means of getting a grade, but must provide sufficient information regarding their playing strength to enable the organisers to place them in the most appropriate tournament. Any previous grade must be declared. An ungraded player may not win more than £40.

Mobile phones MUST be switched off during play. Penalties will apply if this ruling is ignored.

Competitors are expected to notify the Congress Director if they wish to withdraw after the event has started. Not to do so is discourteous to the next opponent.

The organiser cannot be held responsible for any item lost by a competitor.

TRAVEL DIRECTIONS
Frodsham can be reached via the M56. Leave at junction 12, following signs to the A56 and continue on to Frodsham. Fluin Lane is the B5152 and runs South from the A56, immediately after a footbridge over the road. Currently there are signs to the Community Centre. There is a large free car park.
