Competitions

We run a League Championship, over 3 Divisions.

Teams of 5, all play all twice each season. Home team has black pieces on all boards.

 

We also run a knockout cup for teams of 3, the Arjay Trophy and the Arjay Plate.

 

The start of the season sees the Team Lightning competition, for teams of 5.

 

The Mini-League is a team competition handicaped by grading, and the Rapid Play league is for teams of 3 playing two 2 games per fixture of 25 minutes +10 seconds per move increment each (or 30 mnutes each if no digital clocks are available), once with the white pieces, once with the black pieces.

 

Individuals can compete for the Norman Ellis Trophy (Open) and the Ken Appleby (U1700).

 

The Gambit Trophy is awarded to the player who scores the most points in all LCA competition games over the full season.
