(Members who wish may play their 4th Round game)

Round 4 - 17th May

Round 5 - 24th May (+ 31st May if necessary)

Each draw will be made beforehand, usually the day following the previous round. The draw will be on the Club’s Blog and website and, as far as possible, I will inform members of the draw. This will give anybody unable to make the Tuesday an opportunity to play their game on the Saturday prior to the Tuesday of the match. It may be necessary to play some Round 5 games on 31st May.

There’s a slight possibility that some dates may have to be adjusted to accommodate Willie Brennan Cup or Killane Shield.

Rules:

1. Tuesday games start sharp 7:30. 1hr 30min for each opponent. Saturday games start 2:30 or as convenient.

2. There will now be two prizes [not two competitions!] – Senior Champion (for whoever wins the competition outright); Junior Champion (for the highest placed player graded below 1200).

3. Should a member graded below 1200 be the outright winner then they will be the Senior Champion and the 2nd highest scoring member below 1200 will be the Junior Champion.

4. In the event of a tie for 1st place there will be a play off between those on highest score. Should that result in a tie that will be a further play off with reversed colours. If again there is a tie, then a draw for colours in a lighting game (15 min each).

5. Each winner will receive a (small) plaque to keep. The Senior Champion will retain the cup for one year.

6. The current ICU grading list will apply.

7. ICU rules apply.

8. In the event of a dispute, I will adjudicate. Should I be involved in the dispute then Martin, Sean or Justin will adjudicate.
