There are likely to be some last minute updates before I submit the final list to the ECF National Controller

Re: National Stages 2019
Good luck to all the teams playing this weekend
The Open match between G Man and Sussex tomorrow was reduced to 12 boards by mutual agreement, but Sussex can only find 10 players
The U160 match between G Man and Suffolk is on Sunday
It doesn't seem a great weekend to choose to play to be honest; we're missing players at Rhyl (and maybe Harrogate for all I know) and because of the football on Sunday

Re: National Stages 2019
That is a sad state of affairs for an Open team, and I don't expect that it is the captain's fault. I wonder how many of his players couldn't face another run up the M1 so soon after last weekend's 4NCL.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a QR code stamped on a human face — forever.

Strangely not the M1 as they agreed to play near Birmingham, which surprised meNickFaulks wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 8:21 pmThat is a sad state of affairs for an Open team, and I don't expect that it is the captain's fault.

Re: National Stages 2019
Sussex to Daventry, Telford or Birmingham is likely to be M23/M25/M40 rather than M23/M25/M1 if you go clockwise round London. Still the same Motorway trek as last weekend though.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 8:49 pm

Re: National Stages 2019
You knew when you entered that you would be expected to play a Quarter Final on Saturday 11th May. Football on Sunday 12th May is a red herring.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 7:10 pmIt doesn't seem a great weekend to choose to play to be honest; we're missing players at Rhyl (and maybe Harrogate for all I know) and because of the football on Sunday
Rhyl and Harrogate also knew the date, or should have done, when they arranged their congresses to clash.
Things are unlikely to change unless and until the ECF is prepared to protect its flagship competition by stipulating that conflicting events not specifically approved will not be eligible for grading.

Re: National Stages 2019
Yes we did David and we have had the same problem for years
I was told that we booked Syston today but somehow it got double booked and moved to tomorrow which means some of the team can't play
I am coming round to the idea of changing back to the system of playing the final stages in the Autumn

Re: National Stages 2019
I've played at Rhyl in the past and am not eligible to play for any county participating in the national stages. I don't think applying sanctions would achieve anything other than annoy the event organisers and threaten the viability of the events. I think there are good reasons why people might choose a congress instead of a county match, but others on this forum have also stated that they prefer county chess to 4NCL, so the more chess factor can be countered by the greater time demanded. Important to fully understand these factors and the extent of the overlap of players before rushing to any draconian measures.
