2026 Club Blitz Handicap Tournament

For this year the Club Blitz Handicap was held after the AGM as a Swiss Tournament (7 rounds).

The format for this year's event differed from previous events where times for each player was based on the player's current rating.

For this year, each game had a total time of 10 mins, with no increment, and the difference in each players rating determined what time each player had for the game. To determine the time each player receives, firstly remove the last 2 digits of the players rating (i.e. 2105 ACF becomes 21, 1345 ACF becomes 13 etc). The gap between the truncated ratings is then used to determine each players time according to the table below:

  Rating Gap   Time
  Zero OR One   5mins V 5mins
  Two OR Three   4mins V 6mins
  Four OR Five   3mins V 7mins
  Six OR Seven   2mins V 8mins
  Eight OR more   1min V 9mins
