Club Rapid play Tournament

What a fantastic evening! The second stage of our Club Rapid Play Tournament took place on Monday, 20th October, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Members new and old came together to compete in a lively and fun atmosphere.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, and a special shout-out to Rob for running such a brilliant event!

You can find the updated leaderboard below. Keep an eye out for the announcement of the next leg of the competition in the New Year — we can’t wait to see you all back at the boards!

Explanation of the scoring system

A player's score is calculated as a percentage of their success in the total number of games played e.g. a score of 3 out of 4 = a score of 75 (%) plus the number of games played (4) = 79

Byes are not counted, but if a player withdraws early from the event, or misses a round when they should have been available to play, then their score is calculated as if they had played that game and lost it.

To encourage participation but without requiring participation in all events, we are only counting a certain number of events, and those with the highest scores for each player. This will be calculated as follows:
