Yorkshire Junior Chess Association​
How does the Grand Prix Work?
We have changed the rules this season.
Players will be ranked from 1-90 in each tournament (or 1 to whatever the entry number is). Players in the Major section will be ranked first, then the Intermediate section, then the Minor Section, then the Novice section.
The total points awarded to the top player will be 80 points. The second ranked player will receive 79 points and so on all the way down to player 80 who will receive 1 point. Any players ranked below 80 will also receive 1 point.
Points will accumulate over the three competitions and the player with the highest points will be the Grand Prix Champion.
The top 12 players will be invited to an elite competition to play for a big prize, together with the best 2 girls if they are not already in the top 12.
