There are two sections: the Championship and the Challengers.
The Championship is a six-player all-plays-all tournament. The entrants will be:
Alan Merry (226)
Andrew Lewis (207)
Adam Taylor (207)
Stephen Gregory (194)
Shaun Munson (194)
Silas Peck (178)
The winner of the Championship will receive a trophy and will be Suffolk Champion for 2015.
If numbers permit, the Challengers will be a Swiss tournament. The winner of the Challengers will gain an automatic qualification for the Championship in the following year. There will also be an Intermediate trophy for the highest placed player graded under 130.
Both sections will be over five rounds, using Suffolk League time limits (30 moves in 75 minutess, then an extra 15 minutes to finish). All games will be submitted for grading.
