CCF TOURNAMENT DIARY OR ENTRY FORM

EVENT 1:    AUTUMN TERM:    LONDON JUNIOR CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS (LJCC) QUALIFIER
 This is one of the oldest junior tournaments in the country and one that a lot of junior players aspire to.  Some travel to loads of different qualification events to get in and do battle with some of the best junior talent around.  Souvenir medals will be presented to all competitors with special medals awarding those who score well.  Our competition is 6 rounds (30 minutes each on the clocks) and players play in the following age groups:
Under 18 (not LJCC qualifier)    Under 12        Under 10        Under 8
Ages are taken at 31st August 2007.  To qualify for the right to enter the finals, players need to following scores:

Under 12 & Under 10 Finals:
Players in our Under 12 and Under 10 events need to score 4½ to qualify for the Major Final or 3½ to qualify for the Minor Final.  

Under 8 Final:
Players need to score 4 or more out of 6 to make it through to the final.
EVENTS 2 & 3:    SPRING TERM:    ENGLISH CHESS CHALLENGE (ECC) QUALIFIERS
 In this event, everyone plays in one big 7 round tournament.  Please click on the link above to see how round 1 of the English Chess Challenge works.  The scoring system we use today will be reverted from the 3-2-1 (win-draw-lose) system into the normal 1-½-0 in respect of the Grand Prix scores.  The normal ECC prizes are given out as the day goes on, but the winner's trophy will not be presented until the final in June.
EVENT 4:    SUMMER TERM:    CCF JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
This is a new event that is only open to current or former CCF trainees and members.  This will mean that only those that have been trained under the CCF umbrella at any time plus anyone who has been a member of CCF will be eligible.  

There will be competitions at:
Under 18.....Under 12.....Under 11.....Under 10.....Under 9.....Under 8     to determine the various titles.

In addition, there will be a competition between the CCF Trainers and a trophy for whoever gets the best score.  They will be able to nominate the highest scorer of their trainees in each age group (except the Under 18) to decide who wins.  Where there is a dispute about which trainer is responsible, CCF will adjudicate prior to the event.  

Ages are taken at 31st August 2007.
