Ladder Competition 2016

Posted on January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 By admin

All
Welcome to the Phibsborough Chess Club Ladder Competition 2016

The ladder competition will run all the way through without interrupting the leagues, club championships and the summer competition.
Attached are the rules and the initial randomised ladder for the competition. New players will be added to the bottom of the ladder.

The list was prepared from the team lists. I have already spotted two people not on the list. I will add them on the next email.
If there are any others missing please forward an email to me. I will also be calling a couple of players who do not have emails.

The games begin in January. Forward me an email for contact details if you want to arrange a match on the 4th January or email/phone them yourself.
The €5 entry will pay for the prizes to be given out on the night of
the Christmas Blitz next year.

Regards
Fergal
