When can we have at least 30 players and Top 12 to be promoted again ?
There were 22 graded players average per year during 2003 to 2008 with the maximum of 28 graded players in 2007 Group A.
there are 9 players (4 Grade As and 5 Grade Bs) registered for 2009 Group A so far ......(21 Jun 2009 is the closing date.)
what is the minimum number of players for Group A to proceed (10 or more ?) ?
what is the maximum number of players for Group A to have 7 rounds (less than 20 ?) ?
what is the minimum number of players for Group A to have 9 rounds (20 or more ?) ?
Since when Top 8 instead of Top 12 will be promoted ?
Next year, could we have somethings like below :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are at least 15 players, 6 will be promoted if there are 6 or more Grade A players. 7 rounds (swiss pairing) will be used.
some other sets of figures could be :
10, 4, 4, 9 (round robin)
20, 8, 8, 9 (swiss pairing), less number of prizes and amounts too if number of players less than 20.
25, 10, 10, 9 (swiss pairing)
30, 12, 12, 11 (swiss pairing)
-------------------------------------------------------
One possible set of figures in future could be 30 players including 10 Grade A players, in 11 rounds (swiss pairing) will have Top 10 promoted, prizes could still be 8 only.
