We can confirm that, as proposed, the league next season will comprise 2 divisions. Division One will be an all play all with matches starting on w/c 6th September, whilst Division Two will be in the form of a swiss style competition starting the following week w/c September 13th. The fixtures for Div 1will be published shortly and the pairings for the Swiss Div 2 will be published after the deadline for teams being entered which is Aug 20th. Div 1 will have the usual 6 board matches, whilst Div 2 will consist of 4 board matches. Next Season will be a unigue one so we are relaxing the rules with regards thresholds and playing up and down to encourage over the board play and hopefully a route back to normality after what has been a difficult period for us all. The league secretary has put together a more detailed document outlining the pros and cons of our decision with regards to next season. We look forward to seeing as many of you playing chess as possible next season as safely as is possible. The fixtures for next season along with club venues and team captains will appear here shortly
