Project 30 Tournaments

The second year of Project 30 is back in action, with draws for the two main tournaments now available.

KO Championship
Round 1

Paul Weightman v Sean Cassidy

Graham Edwards v Richard Harris

Mike Creaney v Peter Harker

Rayelynn Posadas v Kevin Waterman

Mike Pointon v John Garnett

David Baillie v Brian Whitaker

Sean Marsh v Royce Parker

Matt Jackman v Bye

Each of the rounds will feature one game played at the normal time limit (36 moves in 90 minutes followed by an extra 15 minutes on each clock to play to a finish). Colours will be decided immediately before the games in the usual fashion.

Drawn games will require a replay with colours reversed, which can be played at any time limit agreed by both opponents. If both players cannot reach agreement then the aforementioned timings will be used.

Graham Edwards v Sean Marsh

Royce Parker v Mike Pointon

Peter Harker v Richard Harris

David Baillie v John Garnett

Bernie Price v Rayelynn Posadas

Kevin Waterman v Mike Creaney

Sean Cassidy v Paul Weightman

Matt Jackman v Bye

The first round will feature two games will be played (one with each colour) with 30 minutes on each clock. Players winning their mini-matches will progress to the next round. Players losing their mini-matches will be eliminated. In the event of a 1-1 tie, the players will contest two five-minute games and keep on doing so if further scores of 1-1 are recorded.

The second round will feature Rapidplay matches of four games, the semi-final will feature six games and the final will feature eight games, with all of these rounds following the same tiebreak method as the first round (if required).

All games in both tournaments need to be played by the end of November 2018.
