Rate of play

In the A to C groups and U25-group the rate of play is 1,5 hours plus an increment of 30 seconds for each separate move from the beginning of the match move.

In the D- and E-group, the rate of play is 40 minutes plus an increment of 30 seconds for each seperate move from the beginning of the match.

In the F-, G- and H- group, the rate of play will be 25 minutes plus an increment of 10 seconds for each separate move from the beginning of the match. This goes for both the F-, G- and H- tournament as well as the joint FGH-tournament.

Playing schedule

The playing schedule for the A to C groups is unchanged from previous years. These groups each play 9 rounds from August 3rd to August 8th.

The playing schedule for the U25-group will mostly follow the A to C groups' schedule. Two morning rounds (to be decided which) will be left out for the U25-group

The D- and E-group will be playing 13 rounds.

For the F-, G- and H- group, the tournament is split into two parts:

• a nine round tournament from Monday 3th to Wednesday 5th where all participants play in their own age group (F-, G- and H-group). If less than 20 participants enrol in either the G- or H-group, we'll probably combine both groups.
• another nine round tournament from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th where all participants play in one joint FGH-group. If more than 70 participants enrol, we'll probably split this group in two;

Participants are free to participate in one of these tournaments, or both. Also, you may decide up to August 6th to enrol for the second tournament!
