Calendar entry https://www.chessscotland.com/calendar/t...ning-2025/ does not give much beyond date / start time.
Searching back to emails from last year I think it might be:
Each team has 4 players, and can enter as many teams as you want.
Time control is 5 min + 2 sec, all games are FIDE rated.
Good to have some official details.
As SNCL teams are 5 players, is it allowable to have a squad of 5 players entered for the lightning?
Playing 4 from 5 in each round with someone sitting out.
Thanks,
Crawford.
Apparently it will be 3+2.
And entry forms are imminent.. ?
Yes it is 3+2, we want to finish the same day we started...
You can play with 5 players, it is a bit more admin for the team captain as we need the results each round for grading but it is allowed.
Entries are taken on the day as well as with the entry from
