BEFORE REGISTERING: Check Your Ratings

Not sure which division you're eligible for? Look up your standard/classic FIDE and ACF ratings, and use the table below to determine which division you can play in.
Please note that registrations are accepted based on a player's current published standard/classic ratings*. Please contact the Doeberl Cup Team if you have any questions.

Rating requirements for the Premier, Major, and Minor divisions have changed, and a new division has been added:

DIVISION	REQUIREMENTS
Premier	Open to all players with an ACF or FIDE Rating 2000 and above. This division is: FIDE & ACF Rated
Major	Open to players with an ACF Rating below 2100 and either an ACF or FIDE rating above 1600. This division is: FIDE & ACF Rated
Minor	Open to players with an ACF Rating below 1800 and either an ACF or FIDE rating above 1300. No unrated players. This division is: FIDE & ACF Rated
Mini	Open to players with an ACF Rating below 1500. Unrated players accepted. This division is: FIDE & ACF Rated
Under 1200s	Requires an ACF rating below 1200. This division is: ACF Rated

*The organisers reserve the right to place players in the appropriate division based on a player's national rating (if they do not have a FIDE or ACF rating).

FAMILY ENTRY

Registering 3 or more members of the same family? You may be eligible for a small fee reduction.

Family entry is based on 3rd and subsequent fee-paying members of the family paying ½ price for entry.

Discounts are calculated on the lowest value registration, i.e. if a family is registering one participant in the Premier, one U18 in the Minor and one in the U1200s, the discount will be applied to the U1200s registration.

How to claim Family Entry: Register online via TryBooking, then contact the Doeberl Cup Team to apply for a 50% refund on the eligible registration(s).

Registering as a group, but playing in different divisions?

You can add multiple different registrations ('tickets') to a single transaction in Trybooking.

Select your first ticket, complete the player's information, and proceed to the Checkout page. Before completing payment, click the 'Buy more tickets' link in the Your Cart box. This will take you back to ticket selection so you can add players for other divisions.

REFUNDS AND PLAYER WITHDRAWAL

Please note that our refund policy has been updated as of October 2022:

Players withdrawing more than 7 days before the start of their division are entitled to a full refund, less processing fees. If a player withdraws within 7 days of the start of their division a 50% refund will be issued. Any player who withdraws after the start of their division forfeits their registration fee.

Players are expected to complete all rounds of their respective events. Players who cannot do so should inform the organisers before their next round. A player withdrawing under these circumstances will be required to pay an entry bond the next time they enter the Doeberl Cup (to the value of the standard entry fee). This bond will be refunded upon the completion of that next event. Players who withdraw without notifying the organisers in advance may have further conditions imposed upon their future entry.

Players with a chronic medical condition may be exempt from this regulation. Please contact the organisers before entering for further information.
