Tournament organiser Steve Dunleavy announces the start of the Knockout 2024 competition.
29 players have entered. Through a series of Knock-out rounds, one will emerge the winner.
The tournament comprises a Preliminary Round, with 3 byes, which reduce the original 29 entrants (a new record) to 16 players, then successive Rounds halve that to 8, 4, and 2 players, until the winner is revealed.
The first-named player of each pairing plays with white.
