2000 New Zealand Championships Results
(21st, 22nd & 23rd October, 2000, The Newmarket Returned Services
Club, 3 Melrose Street, Newmarket, Auckland, New Zealand.)
32 players played in the 2000 New Zealand Diplomacy Championships. There
were four rounds over three days, with the first two rounds
on the first day and the one round per day on the second
and third days. The Tournament was scored using the Detour98f
scoring system, with all four rounds counting to a player's
score.
Round 2 on day 1 doubled as the teams competition. Players
formed teams of three and the combined scores of the three
team members for that round made up the team total, and
the team with the highest total won the Triple Star Plate,
the New Zealand Diplomacy Championship Teams Competition
perpetual trophy.
After the second round their was a cut, with the top
21 players going into the Cup draw, and the rest of the
field going into the Bowl draw. In rounds 3 and 4 the
Cup players only played against fellow Cup qualifiers,
and the players in the Bowl draw played on seperate boards.
The players in the Cup draw were gauranteed to finish
above the players in the Bowl competition. A new perpetual
trophy, The New Zealand Diplomacy Championships Bowl,
was awarded to the player who finished top of the Bowl
competition. |
