July 2011 Update

After the first round was all played under one roof at Canterbury Chess Club, we now enter the home and away stage of the tournament. June was designated as the second round of the event, though to be honest there is not really a strict undertaking to have matches completed by a certain deadline. However, it would be wise for teams not to fall too far behind in the schedule as it will become increasingly more difficult to catch those matches up, especially with the busy Victorian club and tournament schedule. I know for instance that a lot of teams will be struggling to play their matches in August due to the Victorian Championships taking place, and of course I would encourage players to compete in this excellent series of events (Championship, Reserves, and I've been told by CV President L. Sandler, that if there were more entries he would create more tournaments!)

There are still matches from the first round to be completed, but these are being rescheduled (one match has been rearranged to the first week of September! This shows how seriously captains are taking their match schedules.). There has also been a new ACF rating list, and games from 1st June will be played using the new ACF ratings. Likewise, there will be another ratings list in September and those ratings will be used for the last 3 rounds.

The final date for the Victorian Teams Championship has been set for Sunday 27th November, though the time, and place are to be arranged. The venue is not a problem, as a number of venues are readily available, but CV are keeping their options open and hopefully coming up with a coup for the last round.

While this site has not been updated as much as I would have liked, the teams are getting on with the event, which is essentially the spirit of it all.

It has been pointed out that the abbreviations I use for team names is 'meaningless'. Personally, I can't see that anyone could mix up the abbreviations such as CJCC or MCC, but to please everyone, I am happy to change the abbreviations for any team that would prefer their full name shown.
