The ACP launches the ACP Women Series
ACP News [Mon Jul 02nd, 09:50]
The ACP Board is glad to announce the start of the ACP Women Series. It has been a long time since we thought of organizing a tournaments circuit for women similar to the well-known ACP Tour. Only after we managed to stage the ACP Tour Masters at the beginning of this year, did we make the final steps towards launching the a women circuit.
The 1st ACP Women Series is starting together with the 4th ACP Tour on July 1st 2007.
The concept is the same as for the ACP Tour. Female members of the ACP will be able to gather points at tournaments chosen by the ACP Board. At the end of the season, the best players will either take part in a Final Event organized by the ACP, if the association manages to raise necessary funds, or receive money prizes.
We shall include in the Women Series different sorts of tournaments. Both individual and strong team tournaments reserved for women will obviously be taken into account. In addition, women players performing well at tournaments of the ACP Tour will also receive points for the Women Series. All rules as well as the detailed Points System can be found on the ACP website at http://chess-players.org/eng/tour/tour_2007/rules_wom.html
We hope that the ACP Women Series will contribute to the development of women chess.

ACP should ask you of how to do this since you have the most experience with it.
