There will be two contests — an
Open Championship and a Secondary Contest. The Open Championship
is for games with at least five full tables run in a Mitchell
movement. All pairs in the Open Championship games must play
exactly 24 boards to be eligible for the prizes. Open events
with 14 or more tables may split into games of at least seven
tables each and award gold points to section winners in each
direction.
Other awards are half red, half black. In stratified games,
only those pairs placing first in the “open” field
are eligible for gold points. Invitational games will be
considered secondary contests and will award .80 gold points
for section-top winners in Mitchell movements of five or
more tables.
The Secondary Contest must have at least six pairs. All games
with half tables are considered secondary games. Howell movements
will also be considered secondary contests. Howell winners
will be considered to be in the North--South field.
