|
|
| I’m all for encouraging juniors to play chess and to join Chess Scotland. Entry fee for all Juniors, under 17 at the start of the congress, who are Chess Scotland members is reduced to £7.50 or half price. |

Details of half-point byes will appear on the CS noticeboard and the congress website sometime in the next 46 or so hours. If details are wrong or your request hasn't been listed let me know.
Details on how the Junior Cup will and places will be decided will also appear around the same time. The idea is to give all Juniors a fair chance of winning this best performance award regardless of section or grade. |

Are you wanted to reward the junior who has played the best/strongest chess in an absolute sense or is it to reward the player who has played the best in some relativistic sense e.g. best % performance relative to pub. grade?
What do you mean by fair? |

Best performing junior – Iain Fraser Cup
All juniors, under 17, are eligible for the Best performing junior prizes, regardless of grade or section.
The positions in this competition will be decided by subtracting a player’s live grade (as at the start of the event) from their grading performance for the congress.
The best performing junior leaderboard will be on display from at least the end of round 3 onwards.
Donations from Phyllis Anderson of Arc Training, Iain Fraser (Prestwick chess club), Robin Moore and Stephen Taylor (both Greenwood chess club) towards the Junior Competition means that there will be the following prizes to be won.
1st Place – Ian Fraser Cup (to be held for 1 year), gold medal and cash prize
2nd Place – Silver medal and cash prize
3rd Place – Bronze medal and cash prize
The cash prize amounts will be decided once the tournament has started. The minimum total amount of the cash prizes for this competition will be no less than £120. |
