A rapidplay with Major U180, Intermediate U130 and Minor U100 sections.
There are 6 rounds and 25 minutes to complete all the moves in each game.
Bob Tinton the organiser says "This year we have created a separate competition for players graded below 100 or ungraded players, which we hope will encourage the less experienced players to enter without being intimidated by a first-round match against a very strong player.
If you know anyone who would enjoy this level of competition please encourage them to enter.
We will be delighted to welcome club players who are new to congresses."
