Paducah Chess League

Chess League - Season 2

August 27 - September 24 at 2pm

at the Golden Carrot Natural Foods

10 games, G/30; d/5

Prizes:

• Division 1 - 1st $60, 2nd $30

• Division 2 - 1st $30, 2nd $20

The format is exactly the same as last season:

• A double round robin (every player plays two games against every other player)

• Points accumulate over the course of the season.

• There are 6 players per division. The lowest division may not be full.

• The 2 highest scoring players from each division are invited to move up to the next higher division for the following season.

• The two lowest scoring players from each division will move down to the next lower division for the following season.

• The 2 middle players are invited to play in the same division again the following season.

Things that are new for this season:

• New players will be added to the lowest divisions in USCF rating order. Since there was only 1 division last season, we have 2 empty spots at the bottom of division 1. The 2 highest rated new players will fill those spots in division 1.

• Scheduling is much different. Games will be scheduled on the five consecutive Sundays, August 27-September 24. Weekly, instead of monthly. Weekends instead of weekdays.

• Rescheduling matches became a problem last season. If you need to reschedule a match, they may be rescheduled to any Wednesday night during our regular meetup between August 27-September 24.

• Notice there is no available reschedule date after September 24. Rescheduling for the final week will need to happen prior to September 24.
