If a player up’ and enters a higher sight category than they are ‘plays classified in they will receive points for the category they have played in eg. if a B2 player enters the B3 event they will receive B3 event points. If sight categories combine due to low numbers players will receive points based on the sight category they enter, eg. a B2 entering as a B2 will get B2 points and a B3 entering as a B3 and playing in the same merged draw will get B3 points. This does mean that a player can have entries under two separate tables, if they up’ for some tournaments and not ’play for others; this is unfortunate, but points are not transferrable from one category to another. At present B4 and B5 categories are always combined at tournaments so this will be one category for now. If due to low numbers men and women combine in a category points will still be awarded for the round reached. Players can only compete in one sight category during a tournament. The only exception is when the B1 event is held on a separate day to the B2 B5 event and then any B1 players that wish to play up into the B2 – category can do so.
