Club INTERMEDIATE Champion Determination Rules 2025
All players entered in a NSBC Intermediate Championship event (or an OPEN event where an INTERMEDIATE category is defined) are eligible to score Club INTERMEDIATE Championship (CIC) Points. This includes members and visitors. However, only points scored as an NSBC member count towards determining the eventual Club INTERMEDIATE Champion.
All players in these INTERMEDIATE events must have between 300 and 750 Master Points at the time the event begins. A player who reaches 750 masterpoints during the year will no longer be eligible to play in INTERMEDIATE sections of any future events and will no longer receive further Club INTERMEDIATE Championship (CIC) points.
- Players in INTERMEDIATE events or who finish in first 7 places in an INTERMEDIATE category, are eligible to score CIC points.
- Provided there are 3 or more INTERMEDIATE contestants, CIC Points awarded for each event are 1st=10, 2nd=7, 3rd=5, 4th=4, 5th=3, 6th=2, 7th=1. If fewer than 3, the points are 5,4.
- Tied positions get the average of the tied position scores: i.e. 3 x equal 2nd scores (7+5+4)/3 = 6 points each. Rounded Up.
- Four Events (Club Pairs, Morgans Swiss Paris, Festival Pairs and Festival Teams ) score double points i.e. 1st=20, then 14, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. Or 10, 8 if fewer than 3 contestants.
- For both Pairs and Teams events, each pair/team member in the top 7 positions scores full CIC points, irrespective of number of sessions played.
- Substitutes score zero Championship points.
- The updated CIC Scores and Rankings will be made available on the NSBC website.
- The NSBC Manager's decision on any CIC Scoring issues / appeals is final.
