Trivial Question

Post by John Upham » Mon Nov 06, 2017 12:48 pm

I should know this but I have forgotten....

What are the rules that determine colour choice for a given match?

Does the "away" team have white on odd numbered boards for example?

Thanks for your help.

Tried to find this on the 4NCL web site but failed.

First-named team has white on odds.

"12.4 The first-named team in each pairing shall have the white pieces on the odd-numbered boards and black on the even-numbered boards."
