EGM: the CFCC Planning Meeting 5th April
The chess club Planning Meeting (EGM) in April had discussed the ambition to enter five teams in the next, 2023-24 Southampton Chess League –SCL -season. This was agreed and we are indeed entering 5 teams.
There are five Divisions in the Southampton Chess League. Our Teams will be distributed over 4 of the Divisions:
- Chandler’s Ford A will be in SCL Division 2
- Chandler’s Ford B will be in SCL Division 3
- Chandler’s Ford C will be in SCL Division 4
- Chandler’s Ford D and E will be in SCL Division 5
The League structure was agreed for the forthcoming 2023-24 season following its AGM, and our Club’s own AGM on Wednesday 13th September will decide, amongst other things, which players will play in which team, and who the team captains will be.
The League AGM 31st May
SCL 2023-24: increments as default, and LMS results
The Southampton Chess League AGM, held at Chandler’s Ford Central Club on 31st May, agreed various points, two of which we highlight here.
Rate of play for games to use increments as the default time control
The rate of play for League games in the forthcoming 2023-24 season will use increments as a default time control for matches, although other rates of play are permissible if agreed by team captains. The main time control to be used is 80 minutes, plus a 10-second per move increment. A shorter time control of 60 minutes per player for all moves is available for games involving a junior player (under 18).
ECF League Management System for results
Match results for the forthcoming season will be reported on the ECF League Management System – LMS. Our club has been trying out LMS with some of its internal tournaments, and now more members are getting LMS logins to enable match results to be entered.
