¹  Based on full division of 16 players. For smaller divisions “Full Round Robin + KOH” or “Double Round Robin + KOH” will be used.

²  Players are allowed to “play up” to enter the division if reference rating (maximum rating between receipt of registration and the day of event) is within 100 points. Admittance is ‘first come, first served’ and players who obtain spots by requesting to play up cannot be later bumped by higher rated players, even if their rating subsequently drops below 1600. Players with reference rating above 1700 will not be allowed to “play down” into a lower division.

³  Because we cannot know who will be placed in the novice division until a few days before the tournament, all participants should send a check for $70. A rebate of $20 will be given to each player placed in the novice division.
