Christmas Blitz Handicap
Normally organised in the run-up to the Christmas break on a “Swiss” 5 round format players are sorted into three levels of handicap with the better players being given less time than the lower graded. It might be the handicap or the refreshments provided that lead to some “interesting” outcomes and a few stories to tell the family over festive period.
