Welcome to the ECF League Management System for the Bury Area Chess League
Please contact Richard Caves (Match Secretary) or Steve Lovell (Internet Officer) with details of any changes to fixture dates. All captains, new and old, are requested to check and complete their contact details within their account settings. Logged in LMS users (i.e. other captains) can see those contact details here. If you don't have an LMS account but need access to update club details including player lists, then please get in touch. |
If you run into difficulties entering or confirming results or generally using this site please use the "Contact Organisation Owner" links to get in touch.
This site is the main source for each of the following:
- Results Entry
- League Tables
- Fixture Lists
- Nominated Players
- Div 1 | Div 2 | Div 3 Player of the Season Standings
The BACL website www.buryleaguechess.org remains the main source for BACL news, Club Venue details, the BACL rules, and a variety of other useful information.
Because the ECF LMS was not created with only the Bury Area Chess League in mind, some of the features may not align perfectly with the BACL rules. If you come across anything of the kind, please get in touch and we'll see what can be done about it. We'll also make a note of it in the list below, so as to avoid the issue tripping people up if possible.
BACL Bonus Point
The bonus point is not added within result of individual fixtures. It is added to points total in the league tables.
User Guide
I have started to put together a user-guide to some of the less obvious functionality within the LMS. You can find it here. So far it includes:
- Adding New Players
- Adding or Amending an Estimated Rating
If there are other things you find confusing about the LMS and would like to see covered in the user-guide, please get in touch.
