Swiss Pairs
For the Gilbert Fry Memorial Cup
Dunholme Village Hall, Honeyholes Lane, Dunholme, LN2 3SU
Sunday, 19th May 2024, 12:00 noon
Table Money £5.00
Swiss Pairs are played in several rounds, typically from five to ten, where in each round you play a match typically between 5 and 8 boards against another pair. The actual numbers will depend on the number of entries. The opponents in the first round will be chosen at random, but after that the Swiss element comes in and for later rounds you are matched against opponents close to you in the ranking list. Now you play another match and carry on for as many matches as there are in the tournament, moving up or down the field at the end of each round. The better you do the tougher your opponents should be. Normally you can only play against another pair or team once so even if you are leading the field you cannot play against the pair lying second if you have played them before. You will be drawn against the closest contestant you haven't previously played. The result of each match is determined from the match points obtained on each board when your score is compared with all the other scores as in a normal pairs event. The final result is determined by points gained not matches won.
There will be a mid-session break for those who wish to bring a packed lunch.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available FOC.
