However if both teams in a particular tie tie wish to play a week later then I will allow that. If one teams fails to agree a date then that tie must be played by March 12th. Apologies to all for any inconvenience
Who decided the change of date for the semi finals without any consultation with the teams? It is hard enough to get a team together at the best of times when dates have been in the Chess Scotland calendar for many months ahead, which allows people to plan holidays, etc (see previous posts with the surprise that the finals being on Easter weekend and lots of people potentially being on holiday with no prospect of that date being moved). I had put my team on notice for a 18/3/2017 semi final match date, whoever that may be against.
The above diktat is totally unacceptable. [-x
