Entries by Sunday 2nd March 2025 to John Wickham j.r.wickham@btinternet.com
Entry fee £20 per team – pay in cash on the day, funds venue costs and prizes.
Time control: 60 minutes plus 10 second increment per move.
Jamboree pairings will be used. Each team of 4 players will play opponents from all other teams over the three rounds. Pairings are pre-set for all rounds so please give the names and ratings of your players when entering. Teams should play in standard rating order, but a tolerance of 100 rating points will be allowed where captains feel that the ratings do not reflect current playing strength. The ECF ratings published at the beginning of January will be used for both aggregate and board order purposes.
Although designated a team championship it is hoped that teams will be based on clubs as far as possible (or by two clubs coming together), but if there are individual players who would like to take part let John know and he will try to assemble a team from them.
Free tea and coffee will be provided. There is a Tesco Express and pub within a couple of minute’s walk but you may wish to bring a packed lunch given the quick turnaround between rounds.
