I've read https://www.englishchess.org.uk/ecf-che ... rand-prix/ more than once and remain unclear as to how I nominate my event for the GP.
Can anyone help?
I did more than that earlier today. I telephoned the ECF Office and was pointed to the above URL as the answer to my question was unknown.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 2:40 pmContacting the e-mail address on that page [email protected] would be my suggestion.John Upham wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 2:32 pmAn event I am running in November aspires to become one which counts for the ECF Grand Prix.

It would appear you don;t nominate the event, it just happens automaticallyThe Grand Prix is a year-long individual competition based on rated standardplay and rapid congresses played in England and restricted to Direct Members of the Federation at Silver, Gold & Platinum levels (Junior included). All open congresses rated by the ECF are included, provided their rating results reach the ECF within one month of the last day of the congress (and in any case no later than 20th July). Leagues, knockouts, invitational events, team competitions, internal club competitions and matches are not included.

I know little about this.John Upham wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 3:07 pmDoes this mean I can advertise and promote my event as being a constituent event of the ECF Grand Prix without asking anyone?
