About Leagues & Cups

An overview of the various tournaments Queens Park operate and play in, and information on how to get involved. All tournaments listed are over the board. See the Calendar for a full list of dates. Contact us if you have any queries.

Beltrami Club Championship

When it runs: monthly matches between Nov – May.

Match start time: 6.45pm.

Location: The Bungo (unless you and your opponent need to arrange an alternative venue).

How it works: All Club members can join the Club Championship. After Round 1, players are paired based on their scores i.e. a player with 0.5 will play against someone else with 0.5. There are 5 rounds in total.

Time control: 60 minutes for all moves.

How to join: Opt in to the Beltrami Club Championship when you become a member of the Club.

Queens Park Leaderboard

When it runs: Every club night.

Match start time: Any time during the evening.

Location: The Bungo.

How it works: Play a timed match with a clock, then take a results slip and note your names and the result. The results will feed into our Queens Park Club Leaderboard – this isn’t an official rating, just for fun.

Time control: 10+0, 15+0 or 30+0 – your choice.

How to join: Everyone at the Club (members and non-members) can join – just pick up a results slip.

Glasgow Chess League

When it runs: October – April.

Match start time: Between 7.15-7.45 depending on the opposing team.

Location: Home matches take place in The Bungo. For away matches, we travel to the opposition’s venue (which may not fall on a Tuesday).

How it works: Over the season, each team plays every opposing team twice – once at home and once away.

Players in a team per match: 4.

Time control: 75+0 for all moves.

How to join: We have one team in the Glasgow League (Division 3b). Team captain selects Club players based on playing strength.

Captains will put calls out for matches in both Divisions and all Club members can put themselves forward for selection in response.

Scottish National Chess League

Spens Cup

When it runs: February – May.

Match start time: 2pm

Location: Teams all over Scotland take part so matches are held in various places –  if our opposing team is more than 80 miles away we will look meet in the middle.

How it works: This is a knockout tournament. Teams are drawn to play one game, either home or away. The winner progresses to the next Cup round.

Players in a team per match: 5.

Time control: 90 minutes per player + 30 seconds increment per move.

How to join: Captain will select Club players based on playing strength.
