Note that Defaults need to be entered as follows: the player defaulting should be put down as Default, but their "opponent" as Not Named; the result should be entered as e.g., 1-0 (def) not as 1-0

2024-25 season - Preliminary round fixtures in the Wahltuch & Hartley will commence from 17 September and are now live, as are league matches from 1 October

If you find any errors, then please let us know politely

Note that Playoffs for all the teams in B and E divisions will take place in June; it is likely that Trophy finals will take place in June as well (although we will see if this can be avoided)

You will note that the fixture list is stretched (again) and so requests for postponements must be avoided if at all possible

Cup fixtures for the Reyner and Lamb now posted

The designated weeks for cup fixtures are w/c 11 November, 13 January, 10 & 17 March, 12 & 19 May, so please avoid putting fixtures in other leagues in those weeks; it is possible that cup fixtures will have to be allocated outside the designated weeks

Enjoy your chess

Please make sure all your players have read the Code of Conduct for Players before the season starts; captains are asked to familiarise themselves with the League & Match Rules in particular, and the Memoranda
