County championship

Submitted by canigou on Sun, 06/14/2009 at 9:19am.

Hi team - the county championship starts soon. We need to decide this week if we want to enter all three competitions - Open, Under 1800 and Under 1500. Minimum of five players in each section. We have just about enough to play in each but it depends if people want to take part. Players can play in all three sections if they are eligible, though tactically that might not be too clever, as lower-rated players in the Open section would end up playing much higher-rated players from bigger counties. But it's up to you guys - do you want us to register for all three sections?

That's absolutely fine - everyone should feel free to play any game they are eligible for. A lot of these higher rated players are not really as strong their ratings would suggest (mine, for example...) so go for it. Only one rule, guys - NO TIME OUTS!

Yes, I'd be interested in playing in whatever section is deemed appropriate.

I can play in the under 1800 section, but my rating is 1796ish so it may be better to put me in the open.

Hi l am willing to play in the under 1800. The more counties that enter the truer the result at the end.

By the way there are going to be at least 21 counties taking part so it should be fun!
