Varma Tables
Directions for “restricted” drawing of tournament numbers:
1. The arbiter should prepare, beforehand, unmarked envelopes each containing one of the sets of numbers A, B, C
and D as indicated below in point 5. These envelopes are then respectively placed in larger envelopes, on each of
which the quantity of player-numbers contained in the small envelopes is indicated.
2. The order in which players draw lots is determined beforehand as follows: The players from the federation with the
greatest number of representatives shall draw �rst. Where two or more federations have the same number of
representatives, precedence is determined by the alphabetical order of the FIDE country code. Among players of
the same federation, precedence is determined by the alphabetical order of their names.
3. For example, the �rst player of the federation with the largest number of players shall choose one of the large
envelopes containing at least enough numbers for his contingent, and then draw one of the numbers from this
envelope. The other players from the same contingent shall also draw their numbers from the same envelope. The
numbers that remain are available for use by other players.
4. The players of the next contingent then choose an envelope, and this procedure is repeated until all players have
drawn their numbers.
5. The following Varma Table can be used for 9 to 24 players.
