World Championship 2016 draw

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

Good evening all,

The draw has been completed (finally I hear you say) but before I announce it I wish to advise on a minor amendment to our format and how we decide on the last 64.

Taking into account feedback from last year I am pleased to confirm that all players who finish second in their group will have a guaranteed chance of progressing to the last 64. How will this work I hear you ask.......well, let me explain further:

We have 36 groups this year which means we require only 28 additional players to make the numbers up, this would leave 8 unlucky runners up playing in the plate through our previous format (being based purely on points and average) which could be through no fault of their own, be it a hard group draw or something else, therefore, this year:


1. Runners up will still be decided on points, followed by average score, however only the Top 20 will be guaranteed a spot.

2. The remaining 16 "second placers" shall be placed into a play off, in a seeded format playing a two leg match with the winner progressing to the last 64, the loser taking their place in the Plate competition.
N.B. Seeding is decided on points and then average from their group with "seed 1" v "seed 16"; "seed 2" v "seed 15" etc

We think this not only provides a bit more fairness to those unlucky few but also another game. The live draw is completed prior to these matches being played so we hope that the player who is drawn against one of these play off games takes interest in the match to see they actually will be playing.


All the rules shall of course be read out during the weekend and posted around the room but we try to make as little amendment year-on-year to keep confusion down to a minimum. Anyway, enough of my rambling, onto the Pairs draw.......

N.B. Full timings shall be published during the weekend.
