2020 WA Grand Prix


2020 WA GRAND PRIX (Paul Meyer Awards)

2020 was a difficult year with tournaments cancelled or postponed and only four GP events taking place. There were outstanding performances from WA's top two Juniors, Jamie Laubbacher and Rebo Fu, which helped them raise their ratings over 250 points each. They headed the Open, the Under 1850 (although both are now rated well above 2000), and Junior sections. Another junior who impressed was primary schoolgirl Emily Zhang who played with a maturity well above her years.

Points are awarded as follows: 1st 12 pts, 2nd 10 pts, 3rd 9 pts, ....., 8th 4 pts, 9th 3 pts, others 2 pts for participation. Prizes will be awarded to 1st & 2nd in each of the 3 groups detailed below.
