The Under 12 groups need to qualifier for the LJCC. The older students can enter without qualifying. So we split the players into 2 sections. Those requiring qualification and those not.

The tournament has to run 6 rounds so for the U12 we did a manual draw for the final round. So we played a 5 round-robin followed by an extra round.

I will just show the round results and photos from the competition. With a list of standings.

Many thanks to all the players and their parents and to our volunteer Andrew Todd and to Methodist College for making this event possible,

Please watch this website for our future monthly tournaments.
