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
Championship Qualification Point List for 2006 - Final Standings

been met at year’s end, the player is disqualified and “-X” is placed after the
tournament count. ○

gives players’ current rankings for the Club Championship and for the Class
Championship (if eligible). An U2000
player who qualifies for both championships can choose to play in either
championship event. If a player
qualifies but declines to play, the next ranked player in the list will be
invited to the event. A player who
accepts an invitation is identified by “-A” after the ranking and a player who declines an invitation is
identified by “-D” after the ranking. |
