This has always been regarded as the major tournament of the club.
In addition to the prize money for winning the A division, the Club Champion is provided with a reasonable monetary contribution if they participate in the Australian Chess Championships (ie towards airfares, accommodation etc).
The Club Championship Tournament is the first event on the Metro Club calendar in the New Year, commencing early February. The format of this competition is an all-play-all, run in three, four or five divisions depending on participant numbers.
The allocation of players into divisions is usually based on their current ACF ratings. An exception is that divisional winners of the previous year are promoted (invited) to the next higher division.
Initially the time limit was 90 minutes per player, however in recent years,
with the introduction of digital clocks, all the divisions have 70 minutes
with 40 second increments (Fischer time). All games are forwarded to the ACF for rating purposes.
