He is currently performing at 2621.75 against an average of 2428.75 so it is very likely a draw will be sufficient in round 9. By my limited maths he needs a draw against a 2476 or higher or a win against someone below that. The 4ncl site hasn't yet published the fixtures for rounds 9, 10 and 11 so I'm not sure which team he faces in round 9. I expect that all players in contention for a norm to be made aware of their exact requirement nearer the time.William Metcalfe wrote:What would J Hawkins need to score to gain a GM norm from this years 4NCL or is it not possable for him to gain a norm this year
