honour points

[john reade]

How were the honour points calculated in the US Nationals? Is it the sum of opponents' scores? Or is it the sum of opponents' scores multiplied by the score obtained against each opponent?

It's normally the sum of the opponents scores, but dropping the lowest score (or bye). If any opponent dropped out, then his score is first pro-rated as if he finished the tournament before determining who is the lowest.

Dr. Beckwith, On the NC site it shows me to have 140 HP but I calculate 120. Which is right? I did not want to send them a response because I am not sure.

This is first info from Alex.... I posted early but it is not the final word until the real thing trickles down a month or two later. I've lost interest by then JR Smith

My list is not official indeed (the official one comes from referee), however - I used a final standing table from referee's minutes after they finished calculations, and I copied everything.

Based on this list we had half an hour later all anouncements and final awarding. If someone find later my HP higher - I'll be very happy to hear this.

Alex
