Entry for the Leamington individual knockout competitions will open as soon as the new grades are out. Last season entries swelled by 300%,have you got what it takes to win one of the leagues individual titles?

Again this season all winners will receive engraved medals to keep as well as looking after the champions trophy for one year. Also we will continue the non driver policy, guaranteeing a home draw in the first round for players that don't or cant drive.

A new competition for this year is the individual rapidplay, where competitors will play on a best out of three basis, with the higher graded player conceding 5 minutes for every 10 grading points that his grade his higher than his opponents(to a maximum of 30). So, hypothetically speaking (based on last Januarys grades) if Colin Searle(166) was to play Steve Rumsby (120) Colin would start on 15 minutes with Steve on 45.(same handicap rule applies should one off 5 minute blitz games be needed to settle a drawn match, with the higher graded player conceding 30 seconds for each 10 grading points, to a maximum of 90 seconds).

The thought behind this is to create an open competition
that gives everybody a chance of winning regardless of grade.

Therefore the indykos competitions for this season are as follows

THE OPEN
U-150
U-120
U-90
OPEN RAPID PLAY (handicapped best out of 3)
