Handicap Cup

The handicap tournament traditionally takes place on the last evening of the season.

The time allocated to the two players in a particular game is determined by the difference in their published ECF ratings.

Players are paired using Swiss Pairing Rules.

Results for the tournament held on Monday 8th July 2024 are available through the link: Handicap Cup 2024
