CLUB COMPETITIONS 2008-9
During the playing season which ended in May 2009, East Cheshire held FOUR different competitions for club members.
- Our Swiss Rapidplay Tournament (10 minutes each per game) is an all-play-all Swiss-type
competition. This season it was held on December 10th, when the competition was deservedly won
by Phil Ramsey, scoring 5.5 / 6. The competition for those with ECF grades below 100 was won by Paul Tunnah.
Congratulations to both!
- Clubman Tournament (2 minutes per move) scoring 1 for a loss, 2 for a
draw, and 4 for a win, playing up to 2 games against all the other
competitors. This was won by Alan Stokes for the third successive year, with Ian Vaughan runner-up.
- Matchplay Competition (based on results in team matches) scoring 1 for a win and 0.5
for a draw. In the season 2008-2009, Ian Vaughan was the winner, and David Taylor was runner-up by a narrow margin over Phil Ramsey. Congratulations to both players!
- Quickplay Tournament. This new competition was unfinished in 2008-9 and has now been abandonned in favour of a change in the rules for the Clubman's Competition, which will now include Quickplay games (30 min per player for all moves) as well as standard rate of play games.
