SPEED CHESS EVENINGS

SPEED CHESS DATES FOR SEASON 2019-20
1 09 September 2018 2 21 October 2019 3 09 December 2019
4 20 January 2020 5 23 March 2020    

 Although those that want to play long play chess on these 5 evenings can do so, these 5 evenings during the season are for those that like to play chess a little faster.  There are 3 activities currently involved and players can enter for any 1, any 2 or all 3 of the activities:

*        Rapid Play Super League (starting at 7-30pm)
*        Individual Rapid Play Club Championship
*        Individual Blitz Club Championship

The Rapid Play Super League kicks the evening off at 7-30pm.  On most evenings, the CCF Controller will pair the next round of both the RP and Blitz Club Championships, so that matches can start as soon as players finish their team games.  The "next" round of each will be paired immediately the previous round has been concluded.  However CCF reserves the right to pair all rounds for the evening at the start if logistics require it. 

THEORETICAL
START TIME
EVENT CAN BE PLAYED EARLIER THAN SCHEDULED IF (see conditions):
19-30 Rapid Play Super League N/A
20-30 Blitz Club Champ - Match A

Any of these matches could (and should where possible) be started earlier that the stated time.

Matches may only change order when the theoretical maximum time control (1 hour for a RP match and 20 minutes for a blitz) will not take it past the start time of the next scheduled match.  The majority of matches will not reach the full time control, thus it is expected that most matches should start ahead (in some cases well ahead) of the stated times.

20-50 RP Club Champ - Match A
21-50 Blitz Club Champ - Match B
22-10 RP Club Champ - Match B
