Summary Explanation

The Championships are a team based event involving teams are of 4 players.

A player plays 2 games against the same opponent once as white and once as black.

In both of the games a player has 30 minutes on the clock to make all the moves of the game.

Games are subject to rapidplay rules and are rapidplay graded.

Scoring is 1 point for a won game, so if you win all 8 games in a match you score 8 points, but if you draw all 8 games you score nothing.

The first part of the Championships is a swiss league (over 5 rounds), which produces the final League table then in the Face-Off 1st plays 2nd for the Championship, 3rd plays 4th for 3rd place, 5th plays 6th for 5th place, and so on.

The Championships are played at a single venue Southampton University with the League phase being rd.1 end of October, rd. 2 being late November, rd.3 being early December, rd.4 being early February and rd.5 being late February and the Face-Off being early March.

The championships are intended to attract teams from all over the county.
