Hello everyone,

Sean (@Chambro1970) here the Tournament Director of the County Championship. I'm just posting this form to discuss the future of Essex in term of being able to continue playing in the County Championship. @Matt1979 has done a sterling job of keeping this club alive and competing as a representative of the CCCUKI (County Championship Council UK & Ireland). Matt has decided to take a break from Chess.com and he asked me to step in to help. Unfortunately I am hamstrung as I need to be promoted to coordinator by a Super Admin, I have tried messaging the only SA @MrEnigma, but I have had no response despite several messages.

That leaves Essex in a bit of a pickle, as it stands Essex are in a state of limbo and cannot set up matches or enter competitions (Essex have already missed out on entering the CC25 Cup). So without any active admins we have a number of choices:

Leave things as they are and hope one of the existing admins steps up.
Create a new Essex club and start afresh.

I have set up a new team, and will be inviting members of this club over to the new team. The aim being to get a competition ready team up and running before the new seaso starts in November.

The New Team link is here, come on over and join:
