A Top Novice award will be given in these events, as well.
SCORING:
Several tournaments this year have been experimenting with tiebreakers that don't use rating points. Because of the subjective nature of rating points and the mistakes that can occur with them on ballots, a several tournaments have been implementing tiebreakers that are based on rank, rather than rating points. This has significantly reduced the number of ties and ultimately rewards students who rank higher. We will be using this method, as well. Our ballots will have points and judges are welcome to assign them, but the speed ballots will be rank-only and that is how results will be tabulated. Our tiebreaker from prelims to finals will be as follows:
1. Total ranks in this round/s
CONCESSIONS:
We will offer breakfast, lunch, and snack items throughout the day at the concession stand.
