6 round Swiss, games not graded and you don't need to be a member of the ECF to play.

A relatively novel format for the UK.

After the first round winners will be paired with other winners and losers with other losers. This will be repeated until the end of the 6 round. This will result in all players being sorted in order of performance. After the 6th round the top two players will play a final. The final will be shown on a large screen in the playing hall.

They will need a tie break rule for players ending on the same score.

Do they have a tame arbiter or at the very least a pairing program ?

"Do they have a tame arbiter or at the very least a pairing program ?"

I think "tame arbiter" is an oxymoron. Pairing program would be useful.

The event does sound interesting. At least it's a bit different.
