Players with FIDE ratings and ECF grades must be below BOTH limits to be eligible for the lower section – this is to hopefully reduce the likelihood of sharks in that section! CCF reserves the right to move any player into the higher section where it is in the best interests of the competition and/or where grades/ratings change before the start of the event.
*** A full CCF member is someone who has paid for any Option of membership (except Option 16) for the 2025-25 CCF Adult Monday night chess club.
