Welcome to the NCCU county championship season 2024/25
The full set of Rules are on the NCCU website https://mannchess.org.uk/NSeasonal/Rules.htm#co
The fixtures shown are provisional (dates, times especially) for now until the venues are booked and agreed
The Open format is a 1 game per player Jamboree for 4 teams (so the pairings go something like A1 v B1, C1 v D1, B2 v C2, D2 v A2, A3 v C3, B3 v D3, C4 v A4, D4 v B4, etc), so each team has 4 opponents from each of the other 3 teams, making 12 in total
The u1450 format is a 1 day event, where each team plays each other team (e.g. round 1 probably 10 am to 12:30, round 2 probably 1 pm to 3:30, round 3 probably 4 pm to 6:30) at a shorter time control than the default
The u2050 and u1650 matches are the "normal" format (note though they will all hopefully be played as double headers i.e. Lancs v Manchester u2050 and u1650 at the same venue at the same time with the same time control)
The u1850 fixtures have yet to be finalised, but are being entered when dates are agreed
