Open County-Match Jamboree
This was originally to be run as a 4-team single round
Jamboree, with each team having 4 opponents from each of the other 3 teams,
making 12 in total (hence board pairings like A1 v B1, C1 v D1, B2 v C2, D2 v
A2, A3 v C3, B3 v D3, C4 v A4, D4 v B4, etc as per the Hutton pairing
system), but Merseyside withdrew a few days before the event leaving just
Greater Manchester, Northumberland and Yorkshire competing, requiring the
3-team Hutton pairing table instead. The venue was Bradford.
Greater Manchester came out on top, with Yorkshire second
and Northumberland third. Northumberland had already declared they did
not wish to progress to the ECF County Championships, so Greater Manchester
becomes 1st NCCU nominee for the ECF Open Championship with Yorkshire being
2nd nominee. At the ECF stage, a Union’s first nominee can get a
slightly easier route, initially playing another Union’s 2nd nominee (or
getting a bye) while the 2nd nominee is likely to get paired against another Union’s
1st nominee.
The board-by-board results as represented on LMS were as
below.
