[grahambriggs]

In the days of the Prophet

Theme: From the days of the Prophet to the fall of Jerusalem in the first Crusade. Muslim armies and their enemies from 630 CE to 1099 CE. Field of Glory version 3.
Steve Murton will be list checker. Lists to Steve by 28th October please. Details of the comp below.


1. Theme: Armies and enemies of Islamic states from 630CE to 1099 CE inclusive. 6’ x 4’-ish tables

Points. This is a handicap competition, to level the playing field for less experienced players:

- Group A will have 750 points. These are the players who have appeared in the top 6 of the rankings in recent years. Paul Bartlett, Terry Shaw, Pete Dalby, Paul Longmore, Dave Ruddock, Graham Briggs, David Bannister, Graham Evans, Steve Brown, Phil Powell.
- Group B will have 800 points. These are the players who regularly appear high up the rankings, but not in the top 6: Steve Murton, Dave Morrison, Martyn Simpson, David Fairhurst, John Patrick.
- Group C will have 850 points: any player not mentioned above.

All other aspects will remain the same: the usual scoring system, random first round draw where anyone can play anyone except club mates, Swiss chess thereafter (no clubmate matches in round 2 though)

My understanding is Godendag in 2023 is the first competition for V3.1.
I remember seeing something on the FoG email group from Dave and Terry
