The annual Mandurah club champs will be held the week of the 16-19th of September. Games will be played on every night of the week Monday to Thursday.
We aim to have 32 entrants and this will be used as the grading for country week that is scheduled for the weekend of the 28th -30th of September.

The format will be a swiss draw with a A and a B section. You will be guaranteed of a game every night of the week.

Swiss Draw
A swiss draw is a non-eliminating tournament format which features a predetermined number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than in a round-robin tournament. In a Swiss tournament, each competitor (team or individual) does not play every other. Competitors meet one-to-one in each round and are paired using a predetermined set of rules designed to ensure that each competitor plays opponents with a similar running score, but not the same opponent more than once. The winner is the competitor with the highest aggregate points earned in all rounds. All competitors play in each round unless there is an odd number of them. A Swiss draw should result in a clear winner, without having to play all opponents as in round robin, and without a single bad result terminating participation.

This format guarantees everybody the same number of matches.Based on your results, most players can land in the number 1 position no matter where you are placed in the draw, except for a few exceptions if you are placed at the very bottom of the draw. Essentially you follow your number through, therefore if player 1 plays player 16 and loses, they will move to the 16 spot of the second round. In the second round, if they lost to player 9, they would stay in spot 16 in the third round. If they won, they would move to position 9 in the 3 round and so on.
