RapidPlay

Games in the Rapidplay can be played at any time; please make your own arrangements. Colours are by lot but it is permitted to play the same person twice, alternating the colours, in the same evening if you like.
Please report any results promptly to Paul. A results grid will be started on the club noticeboard and here but your name will be added only when you have played a game.

The time limit is 25 minutes per player with a 5-second increment throughout. This can be programmed in Mode 18 of the digital clocks.
The winner of the tournament will be the player with the best Tournament Performance Rating from a minimum of ten games.

November 2024 rapidplay ratings will be used to calculate TPR. Results will be sent for ECF rapidplay rating.
