Club Lightning Handicap Tournament

The format of this event is similar to the Lightning Tournament except that handicaps are placed on each player as assessed on their performance in the Lightning Tournament. This event is therefore held in the week after the Lighting Tournament.

The handicaps are the differing amounts of time that each player has for all of their moves in each game they play. This time might vary between 3 minutes and say 7 minutes.

Aggregate points are awarded for performance in-group play.


2011 Club Lightning Handicap Tournament

This year 17 players contested the Club Lightning Tournament which was played as a 9 round swiss event.



Congratulations to Leon Taylor - 2011 Metro Club Lightning Handicap Champion
