OPEN Club Champion Determination Rules 2025

 

  • All players entered in a NSBC Championship event are eligible to score Championship Points. This includes members and visitors. However, only points scored as an NSBC member count towards determining the eventual Club Champion.

  • Championship Points awarded for each event are 1st=10, 2nd=7, 3rd=5, 4th=4, 5th=3, 6th=2, 7th=1.

  • 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.

  • Six Events (GNOT, Morgans Swiss Pairs, Club Teams, Festival IMP Swiss Pairs, Festival Sunday TBIB Swiss Teams and True Mixed Teams) score double points  i.e. 1st=20, 2nd=14, 3rd=10, 4th=8, 5th=6, 6th=4, 7th=2.
  • For both Pairs and Teams events, each pair/team member in the top 7 positions scores full CC points, irrespective of number of sessions played. 
  • Substitutes score zero Championship points.
  • In small events Championship Points, starting with 10 for 1st, will be awarded to all place-getters, irrespective of the number of participants in the event.
  • The updated Club Championship Scores and Rankings will be available on the NSBC website.
  • The NSBC Manager's decision on Championship Point Scoring issues/appeals is final.
