National Grading Scheme.

Our Club average NGS is monitored regularly to gauge how the club is "going".

Fluctuations are natural as students come along to play.

The EBU does provide lots of information explaining the purpose of the NGS.

Social Events are always included in the NGS calculations although they are normally not master pointed.

We can [and probably will] use the NGS in order to arrange handicapped pairs.

More detailed information is available if requested, please do give feedback, always appreciated.
