Club Championship

The 2023-24 club championship has now started, and will run until the end of May. This is being run as a single division. Toss for colours, and report all results to Joe F.

Arrange your own games with your opponents, and try to play as many games as possible. If someone is repeatedly avoiding or declining your challenge, inform me (Joe). I’ll try to get in touch with them to arrange the game, or if this still fails, I’ll award a default.

Time control is the same as the league, unless both players agree otherwise. If you use a different time control, it has to allow for us to be out of the venue by 10pm, and also both players must have at least an hour on the clock (so that the game can be submitted for rating).

The scoring system used is below, and is designed so that a win against a higher rated player scores more points. July 2023 EGCA ratings will be used unless there’s a really good reason not to.
