Under 16 regulations -
4. TOURNAMENT FORMAT:
The tournament shall be run on a 10 Round Swiss. Each match between teams will be conducted over 4 boards. The pairings, scoring and tiebreak regulations are in accordance with the Pairing Rules for the Chess Olympiad.
So why are Scotland placed 33rd in the standings, which appears to be based on total board points? Were it being calculated on match points, as I think the Open Olympiad is, then Scotland would be sitting in at least 23rd place.
Have the draws been made based on match or board points? I thought this event was in Istanbul not Eastern Ayrshire! ;P
