So that prize money may be as widely distributed as possible, no player may win more than one prize (excluding any team prize). Money prizes may be combined and shared. Unrated players may not win rating prizes and not more than £50 in any tournament except the Open. Prizes will be paid by Internet Banking unless special circumstances apply.
