Club Tournaments 2014 -15

We are proposing to run three all-play-all tournaments this year with an Open Tournament in addition.

The Open Tournament is open to all and there is no requirement to play all your games as there may be up to 24 entrants. The tournament chart is already on the notice board and will not be online. This will remain open to new entrants and is for new and ungraded members, members who can't commit to play 10/11 games and members who want to play more than 10/11 games.

Open Tournament Rules: To make this work all entrants must respond to challenges - you can't be picky about your opponents. You can, however, drop out at any time. Also you are under no obligation to set up matches and can just wait to be asked if you prefer. Contact details of entrants are on the noticeboard by the chart.

So far: 14 entrants. This competition is already underway.

All-Play-Alls These are more serious tournaments open to graded players committed to playing  a maximum of 10/11 matches before the end of June. Withdrawal is only permitted under exceptional circumstances (so as not to spoil the competition for the others).

Club Championship: over 160 with a maximum of five players playing each other twice.

So far: Brian, Mustapha, Callum, Geoff

Plummer Knight: 120-160 with a maximum of six players playing each other twice.

So far: Oli W., Julian, Jan, Peter, Kevin, Neil

Tasker Tankard: under 120 with a maximum of twelve players playing each other once.

So far: Rob, Andrew C., Oli L., Alaa, Andrew S., Sue, Bob, Terry, Grant

All entrants to all internal tournaments must be current members of both the club and the ECF. All the above are standard play and will be graded.

Please contact Andrew, see post below, or me for any issues or late entries.
