A google form will be sent out prior to each round, if you need to take a bye for any round, you must inform us prior to the pairings being made.
Pairings for each round are announced live at the club by Jordan on the dates stated. They will subsequently be posted on the website and you will receive an email with details of your pairing and when your game has been scheduled based on your availability.
Members who default games (by no-show) can be removed from the championship by the committee.
If games cannot be scheduled for a QPCC club night, they should ideally be played at another chess club. Contact the committee to arrange if required.
