FIDE Rated Open (with FIDE Rated Sections where possible)
Coulsdon Chess wishes to retain the option to run as many “sections” as possible (according to entries) below the Open – we intend to run sections grading/rating limited sections reflective of the entry we have as at 6pm the night before the event.  Players opt to enter “The Open” or “Sections” when booking.   Those selecting “The Open” will play in that section regardless.  Those who select “Sections” will hopefully be able to play in a rating/grade limited sections, but we cannot guarantee where the line below the Open will be drawn until we see the final entry.
