Flathead Valley Chess Club - Friday Night Tournament

DATE & TIME:  Friday, December 20, 2024; 5:30 to 9:00 PM  (Round 1 by 5:40 PM, subsequent rounds ASAP.  End time by 9:00 PM).


LOCATION:  Hockaday Museum of Art302 2nd Ave E, Kalispell, MT 59901· ·(Downstairs Classroom)


TIME CONTROL:  G/25, d5 (Dual USCF Rated – Regular & Quick)


EVENT FORMAT: 3 rounds. Accelerated Swiss (“1 vs. 2”) pairing.

This pairing system is exactly the same as the Swiss pairing system except that the players in the upper half do not play the players in the lower half in the first or any other round. Instead, in round 1 after the players have been ranked by their USCF rating, each odd ranked player is paired with the even ranked player following them on the ordered ranking list; i.e.; 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, 5 vs. 6, etc.

We will use a family pairing exclusion, subject to a minimum number of players, if players do not want to play others in their own family.
