*Grading Prizes

Grading Bands for Grading prizes are decided on FIDE ratings, where a player has one, or ICU ratings otherwise.
All players are eligible to win 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize. Money prizes are shared for players on equal scores.
One player wins a prize for the best final score in each rating band shown. There are two prizes for unrated players in the Challengers due to to the large number of unrated plaeyers.
