CC23 U1300 Forum

Please use this forum for all matters relating to Under 1300 League. The team links and the 2023 fixtures can be found below. The results and tables can be found by clicking this link: CC23 League Results

We are going to run the competition as a league for the first time in 2023, with the divisions based on placings from 2022. All new teams start in Division 5. The target for promotion and relegation is that the top 2 from each division will be promoted, while the bottom 2 will be relegated. Divisions will have a maximum of 8 teams, giving 7 rounds in total. These will be played from March to September.

Matches will be announced 2 weeks before the start date, with Round 1 starting on 14th March, with rounds 2 -7 starting 21st of each month from April to September. Please set up matches in the format below. The minimum number of players is set according to division (see below). If a team fails to fill their roster by the start time, they will be given an additional 48 hours, after which time the match will be forfeited. If both teams fail to fill the roster, both teams will default.

*Please remember that Multi Player rules now apply to all CCCUKI competitions. If a player is registered in one competition such as the Open League/Cup, that player is also registered for their designated team in the U1600 & U1300 competitions as well.

9 new teams registered for the competition, as there is only an 8 team capacity. I drew one team out of the hat to take the empty Div 4 slot. Gloucestershire were selected, the remaining 8 put into Division 5.

Challenge was sent to right team both Dad & I checked it. Cancelled match and re-sent challenge. CC23 U1300 Div 2 R2 Cefn Gwlad Cymru vs Team Birmingham | Team Match Open Challenge - Chess.com

Thanks Anna. Probably worth a bug report then, If sent to correct team but accepted by an unconnected group that looks to be a big issue. Don't think I've seen that one before.
