Building on a very successful Spring League with thirty teams across three Divisions, the Joint League is now running a Junior Summer Cup to foster junior chess across the District area. Schools, and junior clubs, are very welcome to enter.

Fixtures will be played every Wednesday, starting on the 23rd June, for roughly 5 weeks, 7pm each week.
The deadline for entries will be Monday 21th June.

This will be a team event; teams will consist of three players. The event is FREE to enter, and will be played (by default) on chess.com, which is also free to use/register. The time control will be 10’+5’’, i.e. each player will have 10 minutes, plus a 5 second increment per move, to play all their moves in. For each fixture, players will play one game as White, and one game as Black.

Entries may be taken on THIS form (https://tinyurl.com/CLJuniorSummerCupEntry), or by emailing the Tournament Controller, Henry Chiu (chunyinhenrychiu@hotmail.co.uk) or the League Co-Chair, Colin Green (colin284green@gmail.com).

Note: For Juniors not part of an existing club, parents/guardians may contact the Tournament Controller, (1) to ask a Team Manager to join an existing team, or (2) to explore whether the League may accommodate them, by perhaps co-ordinating/supporting several individuals without a team, to form a new team, or (3) bring together a few friends to play in a team, where appropriate.
