Wind down after Christmas at the Year End Congress!
During the period of the Congress, Camden Council report that parking restrictions will be as normal but the Congestion Charge will be suspended.
Held between Christmas and New Year over four days. The Royal
National provides good playing conditions, although most players either
travel daily or stay in other accommodation. The Swiss Teams event is
now stratified.
Stratification will be in 3-levels:
A] at least two members of the team are Life Masters or above,
B] at least two members of the team are Regional/National Masters (including Premier Regional/premier National) and no more than one member is a Life Master or above. Alternatively, any team which contains precisely one Life Master or above regardless of the rank of the other players.
C] no more than one player is of the rank of Regional/National Master (including Premier Regional/Premier National), and in any case no single player is a Life Master or above.
