MASTERS

Open to all
Prizes £2800, £1800, £1000, £800, £600, £500, £400, £300, £200, £100

Prizes of £200, for players rated 1801-2050, 2051-2200, 2201-2300, 2301-2450
All the rating prizes are each for the best improvement in rating using k=10
Best score by an unrated player £200
If there is only one entry in such categories, the player must score at least 3/9 in order to be awarded this prize
Best Game Prize £500
Prizes of £200, for the best score by a Senior (over 60), Female, Under 18, Manx.


All English entrants to the Masters must be members of the British Chess Federation and should quote their membership number when entering.

Conditions, including flights within the UK, accommodation, breakfast and evening meals and start money may be available for certain titled players. Players must pay own flights to the Isle of Man. UK to Isle of Man flights or ferry will be reimbursed on production of travel receipt. You should apply, in confidence, in the first instance to: Dennis Hemsley, 18 St Marys's Avenue, Port St Mary, Isle of Man IM9 5ET, tel. 44(0)1624 833742, fax 44(0) 01624 833583, email .

It is unlikely any support will be available after July. Players from the British Isles, females and the first entrant from their federation tend to be favoured.

Players wishing to have their flights within the UK and accommodation prepaid for them must pay a deposit of £200 in advance. This is because several leading players failed to honour their commitment in the past, leading to a waste of several thousand pounds. By agreeing to play in the masters and returning the completed entry form, players are reminded that this is a form of contract.

NOTES

Rating List: The FIDE Rating List of 1 July 2005 will be used to determine eligibility and rating (grading) prizes for all three tournaments. For players without FIDE Ratings, national ratings or grades will be used, or, in the absence of any such data, the best information available.
Players who are unrated and ungraded may only win half the value of a main prize in the Dennis Hemsley Tournament.
Grading: All results in all sections will be BCF Graded.
A large number of trophies are awarded at this event.
Registration All players must register in advance by 8pm on 23 September for the Masters and by 11am on 26 September for the two grading restricted tournaments. If they are unable to do so in person, they must make personal telephone contact with The Ocean Castle Hotel.
Byes Other than those receiving conditions, players may claim a ½ point bye in any round, except the last, provided this is requested on entry.
Games Input: Games in the Masters will all be keyed in and made available at www.bcmchess.co.uk/monarch2005. Players are expected to make sure their scoresheets are legible.
Age Eligibility This refers to the age on 1 January 2005 both for both seniors and juniors.
Prizes: Where players finish equal, cash prizes will be shared, however, if a player wins more than one cash prize, they will receive the larger of the prizes. The smaller prize will be redistributed to other players (in the case of level scores) or re-awarded to the next eligible players, at th discretion of the organisers.
Refusal The organisers reserve the right to refuse any entry without giving a reason, except in such cases a deduction of 50% will normally be made from any refund of entry fee and then only if the organisers are notified before 22 September.
Appeals A player may appeal against the decision of an arbiter. An Appeal Committee will be formed, chaired by an International Arbiter not involved in the original dispute, with two other members acceptable to all parties.
