Rating/Grading
The April rating lists (FIDE and ECF) will be used to determine a player's entry eligibility. We will use the highest of FIDE and ECF to determine the players entry into the rated restricted tournaments. Other lists will be used if appropriate. For players who do not appear in the Rapidplay list, other lists may be used at the discretion of the organisers.
Unrated players must provide evidence for the organisers to assess their playing strength and any previous known rating must be declared. The organisers reserve the right to place unrated players in the section they feel appropriate.
