MCC 2013 Grand Prix
Melbourne Chess Club Grand Prix is a $2700 prize pool that is awarded at the end of the year to 17 club players for number of games won across 9 participating tournaments. Prizes are awarded for Open, Under 1800 and Under 1500 categories (your rating is taken from start of the year), which means you have real chances of wining a prize no matter what your rating is- see current leaderboard. Please note that the official list for 2013 can be found on a Chess Chat discussion: MCC Grand Prix Chess Chat discussion
The more tournaments you enter the more chance of wining a prize. In fact regular tournament goers could win most of their tournament entry back. Half points due to byes count.
CommentaryMCC is particularly proud that MCC Juniors win almost half the MCC Grand Prix prize value ($1100 out of $2700). MCC tournament participation is up considerably from last year, with 360 long play tournament entries for the year. That is an average of 40 players per tournament. Next year we are hoping to get this to an average entry of 50 players. This means you can be confident that no matter which MCC tournament you register for it will be a good one. For 2014 register often, register early. Leaderboard
