NCCU County Match Schedule 2024-25

 

Due to various teams supporting different approaches to how matches should be organised, it was agreed at a Zoom meeting with captains on 22/09/2024 that

 

the Open be run as a 4-team single round Jamboree, so each team has 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),

 

the Under-2050 and Under-1650 be run in the usual format, possibly with two counties meeting in two sections at the same time and place

(e.g. Lancs v Manchester in both Under-2050 and Under-1650 at the same venue at the same time with the same time control), and

 

the Under-1450 be run as 1 day event, where each team plays each other team over three rounds with a shorter time control than the default.

 

(The Under 1850 fixtures had yet to be agreed at the time of writing, another meeting being planned for the purpose.)

 

The following are on LMS (links below) and are subject to confirmation by counties with start time and venue.
