Changes to Board Requirements for 5A to 20A Tournaments

 

At our meeting held yesterday the Board agreed to adopt the following changes to the board requirements for certain tournament levels. The change is effectively immediately and will be reviewed in 12 months’ time.

  • 5A          48 - 60     boards
  • 10A        60 - 72     boards
  • 15A        72 - 96     boards
  • 20A        96 -120    boards

The rationale behind the change is to give directors and event organisers some flexibility when considering the number of tables in play and the time available. This will be particularly useful for mini congress events held over 2 -3 days or more.

Rather than focusing on a minimum number of boards we are implementing a range depending on the  level of the event. As is the case already, the minimum number must be played, however there will be instances where it is appropriate to exceed the upper end in the range and this is acceptable.

Section E of the Manual will be updated to reflect these changes in due course.
