The submission of an entry form
and payment of the entry fee denotes acceptance
that the 4NCL’s decision is final in all
matters.
The 4NCL reserves the right to
refuse any entry without explanation.
No player may win more than one
prize. All place prize money will be shared
equally between tied players.
In FIDE-rated sections, the best
performance prize will be awarded to the player
with the best performance relative to rating
(W-We) unless otherwise stated. Unrated players
will have their ECF grading converted to Elo for
calculation of rating prizes.
In non FIDE-rated sections, the
grading prize will be awarded to the player with
the highest score beneath a certain grading
limit. Should this be a tie, the prize will be
awarded to the lowest-graded player.
Ungraded and unrated players may
not win a grading prize.
Prizes will be transferred
by direct bank transfer in the week
following the end of the event.
The 4NCL will ensure its
advertised prize fund is realistic based on an
expected number of entries. Should the number of
entries fall significantly below this
expectation, it may be necessary to reduce the
prize fund. Where possible, any such decision
will be notified to entrants beforehand.
