UKCC 2021 champions

Post by Wadih Khoury » Mon Oct 11, 2021 10:43 am

The UKCC terafinal was held over the week end at Blenheim palace. A big congratulations to all participants and to the winners:
  • U8 Keerthi Kumar Advait on 8.5/11 on tie break with Zhao George
  • U10 Ellis Dicen (I had her as the favorite of the section) on 8/11 undefeated (lots of draws)
  • U12: Frederick Gordon with 9/11, undefeated (and after a long drive from Hull)
  • U14: Rajat Makkar on 10/11 equal with U14 champion Arjun Kolani, but with direct encounter win
  • U18: Balaji Aaravamudhan on 9/11 on direct encounter tie break
Worth noting that UKCC moved away from the tournament structure of day 1 Swiss and day 2 direct elimination in favour of an 11 round all play all which seems quite fitting to fairly crown the UKCC champion.
