2008 Club Championship

OK, Let's get next years format decided on! Here is my proposal.

Starting in Jan 08 we keep a running tally of everyones results in the 2d Tuesday Rating Tournaments. Score 2 points that's what you get, only draw one game you get .5 points and so on. After the October Tournament we total everyones scores and the top 4 play a quad to determine the Champ.

This will encourage participation . I wouldn't mind seeing two (2)rating tournaments a month if it would give some folks more of a chance to participate. And we could divide it into two sections if that's what the majority wants; and have two Champions like Nelson County does. I personally feel that stunts Chess development in the lower rated groups; but I have been wrong twice before.

This sounds like a good plan. And it would definitely encourage more participation. Plus what I like is this allows for a strict deadline on the final games.

Having two sections is fine with me if there are enough willing participants.

Would there be any interest in a Action (G/15) or Quick (G/5) Club Championship? Set it up as a multi-round swiss played in one night with an under 1400 section.

Steve,
It looks like no one is responding to your proposal. Maybe we need to bring it up at a regular meeting when we get a good attendance.

I think we need to discuss this ftf. It seems not very many club members visit this site, including me. But, I plan to change that and drop in at least 3x a week or better. The only problem being not enough members even show up at the meetings. We probably would have to have several meetings to get input from all the members.

We could take a half hour once of month to have a club meeting for discussion and decision making.

[steve]

On a Tuesday of course.

Jerry & Johnny. What was the finally results from the 7 Dec tournament other than Steve and Mike going 3-0. After all we did have 11 other players involved in the match.
