    Parsons Cup lightning trophy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Lightning tournaments are held at the start and end of the season where moves are made on a 10-second buzzer, and a blitz clock tournament (3 minutes + 2-second increment) the week before Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To determine the overall winner of the Parsons Cup, everyone’s best two performances (as a percentage score) are averaged to give a total score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
