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
Also, please remember to adjust the colour sequence correctly when reporting results in the Rapidplay matches
2024-25 season - 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
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
If you find any errors, then please let us know politely
Enjoy your chess
Please make sure all your players have read the Code of Conduct for Players before playing in a match; captains are asked to familiarise themselves with the League & Match Rules in particular, and the Memoranda
