The 2018 Geelong Chess Club Championship Qualifying Tournament commenced on Thursday, 31st May, 2017.

The event was a five-round Swiss Tournament, the first six placings qualified for the 2018 Club Championship.

Players must enter the Qualifying Tournament in order to compete in the Club Championship. Otherwise, players may enter the Reserve Championship (held at the same time as the Club Championship).

Byes and Postponements

Byes

Players may elect to take one half point bye, if unable to play in any of the first three rounds. Byes are not available in the last two rounds.  Byes must be requested no later than 5pm on the Tuesday before the requested Round.

Postponements

Players may also request postponements if unable to play their scheduled match. Please note:

  1. It is up to the requesting player to organise a suitable postponement with their opponent.
  2. Opponents are under no obligation to accept postponements.
  3. Postponed matches must be completed and reported to the Director of Play by 5pm on the Tuesday before the following Round, otherwise a forfeit point is awarded to the opponent.

Tiebreaks

If more than one player ties for 6th position, the Buchholz score (column “Buc1.” below) will be used as a tiebreak. If two players are tied with the same Bucholz score, the Median-Buchholz (column “BucT.”) will be used as a tiebreak.

Playoff

If two players are tied with the same Buchholz and Median-Buchholz score, a playoff will be invoked. This will take the form of a 5-minute guillotine sudden-death lightning match at the conclusion of Round 5.  Players will draw for colors then reverse colors each game, until one player wins.
