To: Parents of children who were in the Middlesex U14/130 chess squad last season and also new players
Dear All
I am the Middlesex Team Manager role again this season and
am looking to putting together the U14/130 squad. The squad is made up
of children in Years 7-9 whose ECF Rapidplay Grade is 129 or less.
For parents new to the U14 County chess (or a recap):
- Middlesex plays in a tournament run by Southern Counties Chess Union.
- We are in the East Group with Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
- We play two matches at home (Surrey and Sussex) and two matches away (Essex and Kent).
- Teams are made up of 12 players and we can have 2-3 reserve players.
- Children play two games with 59 minutes each on the clock.
- Matches take place on a Saturday or Sunday afternoons.
-
The winners of the group play in the final with the winner of the West
Group made up of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
