The 2006 MCC Club and Class Championships

The 2006 MCC Club Championship and the MCC Class Championship (for U2000 players) will be held in May 2006 as separate 6-player 5-RR events run in parallel with the regular monthly sections.

Qualification for the 2006 MCC championships is based on performance in MCC regular time control events during 2005.  The top 6 players from the Championship Point List (who accept the invitation) compete for the Club Championship.  The remaining top 6 players rated U2000 (who accept the invitation) play for the Class Championship.  The 2005 USCF Annual Rating List (published in December 2005) is used to determine a player’s eligibility for the Class Championship.

Championship points are earned by placing 1st-2nd-3rd in the Open section, 1st-2nd in the Upper section, and 1st in the Lower section during the year.  Points are awarded on a graduated scale with a bonus of 50% for a perfect score of all wins.  In addition, to qualify for the championships a player must compete in at least 4 MCC tournaments during 2005 and must be a member of the club on December 31, 2005.
