N.B. The above crosstable is not definitive. The published bulletin did not have a crosstable or any indication of player scores so the table above was generated from the game file. It had gaps, which may or may not have been missing games, byes or players simply being absent for various rounds. I have guessed at a few byes (½ or 1). An added complication is the score of K T Rose which adds up to 4/5 but this does not tally with the fact that he is said to have tied with players on 3½ for the U185 grading prize. See also the table as it appears on the Derbyshire Chess Association website.

For the PGN file I have converted BCF grades to four-figure Elo ratings using the then current conversion formula Elo = (BCF x 8) + 600.
