must have missed something but why is rating set to none in match parameters if it is under 1600 tournament ..... see now that it has been amended in news ... 

Whoops, it was me that missed something, thanks for spotting it. Yes, it should be Max 1600 rating. 

😊👍🏼

Please be patient with me, I will start the matches, soon. I have had a difficult time, with the death of my wife. But I will get to it.

My deepest condolences 😒

Take as much time as you need, Andrew. You have our sympathies. 

I was asked today about the multiplayer rule and U1600 competition.

To clarify: The U1600 is a separate entity from open / cup competition. A player can play for different clubs in these two leagues.

The same rule does apply for U1600 leagues: The first club played for (first match to start) is the designated club. Any points gained for subsequent clubs will be reversed.

Apologies for the incorrect one.

Can I get an update on Birmingham vs Hertfordshire please? Has a challenge been sent?

With two days to agreed start time, Team Cheshire vs Glamorgan County Chess-Club has not reached minimum board numbers.  https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1118894

Under the league rules, Cheshire have one week from the start date (that’s until 23rd May) to find the extra two members. If they don’t make the numbers, Glamorgan can claim the victory.
