Moved & Seconded (Denommee / Craver)

The motion: that Handbook Section 710 ("Tie Break") be amended to read:

Recommended Tie-Break Systems

a) Swiss Tournaments

Direct encounter
The greater number of wins
The greater number of games with Black (unplayed games shall be counted as played with White) REMOVE That, irrelevant for Youth tournament.
Playoff goes here when relevant
Buchholz Cut 1
Buchholz
Sonneborn-Berger

b) Round-Robin Tournaments:

Direct encounter
The greater number of wins
Sonneborn-Berger
Koya System

It is recommended that playoffs only be arranged to determine the official Canadian representative to the WYCC. If playoffs are planned adequate time must be set aside for a conclusion to be reached.
