| For all other ("Regular-rated") events: either 3, 4 or 5-Round Swiss System, G/90 or G/120, either Open (1 section) | ||||||
| or Sectional (more than 1) based on various factors. Prizes per section and by class at the TD's discretion. | ||||||
| |
||||||
| Point Shuffle System: A pairing system developed by Chris Jones and Wayne Williams in which all players are initially | ||||||
| ordered by rating, and then paired into quads from the top. Each quad is called a heat. After the first heat, the players are | ||||||
| then reordered by score then by rating and quad paired from the top for the next heat. This is repeated until the desired | ||||||
| number of heats is completed with the winners being those with the highest overall scores. This system is a semi-final/ | ||||||
| final type process in which the best performers float to the top quads. It differs from other systems in that it is possible for | ||||||
| players to meet opponents they played in a previous heat to fight for the higher score. It should also be noted that color | ||||||
| discrepancies can occur with this system in which a player gets 2-3 more blacks than whites, or vice versa. | ||||||
| |
||||||
| Knight Points: For each win or draw in a club event, the player will accumulate Knight Points over the course of the year. | ||||||
| The point breakdown is: | ||||||
