Come join in on the fun in this new and exciting tournament format! All players entered will be grouped in sixes based on their current ACF/FIDE (Unrated players will receive a provisional rating) Classical ratings. This means that every player should be up against players of very similar ratings, and all have a fighting chance of becoming the champion of their respective groups!
