The Harold Poster Cup

The Championship Swiss Pairs is organised as four sessions,
each comprising three 8-board matches.

Scoring is by match points with the percentage for each 8-
board match being converted to victory points. Assignments
after the first match will be based on the running VP score at
the end of the previous match.

The victory-point scale will graduate from 10-10 for scoring
between 49.35% and 50.65% of the available match points
over 8 boards, to 20-0 for scoring more than 68.35%. The
complete scale may be found at the back of this booklet.

This is a stratified event, with levels as follows:

A: at least one member of the partnership is a Premier Life
Master or above

B: at least one member of the partnership is a Premier
Regional Master or above, but neither is a Premier Life
Master or above

C: neither member of the partnership is a Premier Regional
Master or above.

There are exceptions: see

The Brighton Plate will be awarded to the leading ‘C’
stratification pair
