Venue/Date: Liverpool College on the 5th-- 6th December 2015.
Travel: from Scotland (by coach) on the 4th, returning 6th.
Cost: £50/head
Age cutoff: 1st sept
Gradings used: Aug FIDE and CS live at Aug 16th (all via CS website)
This is primarily considered a “Developmental” tournament, so initial shortlists have been established on that basis – invites should be arriving now via email ; final teams will be posted over the next week or so as individual availability is confirmed. It is also our intention to take 1 or 2 reserves for the lower boards to ensure as many as possible gain some initial experience.
Notes:
This is the first event that Mark (Sanger), Alex (Gillies), David Congalton and I have arranged together, so we will no doubt already have made some mistakes. We would all very much have preferred to publish a clearer selection process in advance, for example, but felt in this instance the main consideration was to give parents and players early notice at this busy time of year.
