Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
To Div 3 captains……
Feedback has been almost unanimously in favour of two games not three over the rearranged weekend. So please feel free to plan accordingly!
Kind regards
Mike

I recommend checking out the game Rich Vs Cooksey for a fascinating and unusual endgame battle.

Or a shameful blunderfest depending on one's point of view. I was pleased to win the match though, since it was not clear if Crowthorne would be in div 3 next year if we had lost.
Congratulations to Nick's SchachAttack on winning the division. The strongest and most consistent team this year.

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with it. I had absolutely no idea how to assess it, and I think extremely strong players would make lots of mistakes in such a position.Paul Cooksey wrote: ↑Mon Jun 27, 2022 9:45 pmOr a shameful blunderfest depending on one's point of view.[
Thanks. We dodged a bullet playing you in round 1. The final round was really nerve-wracking as It was unclear if Cambridge would win and we were 2-0 down.Congratulations to Nick's SchachAttack on winning the division. The strongest and most consistent team this year.
It's great to have the 4ncl up and running again. My favourite chess event in the UK.

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
Is there a final verdict on how many 3S teams will stay up next season?
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a QR code stamped on a human face — forever.

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
Assuming all teams continue and split squads, the Div 3 pools should look something like this:
Divison 3 "North" :
Warickshire Select 1
Warickshire Select 2
Manchester Manticores 1
Manchester Manticores 2
Hull & East Riding Tigers
Chessable White Rose 3
Bradford DCA Knights A
West is Best 2
Oxford 2
Ashfield 1
Divison 3 "South" :
Crowthorne A
Sussex Martlets 2
MK Phoenix 1
Wessex Some Stars A
Wessex Some Stars B
Cambridge University 2
Poisoned Pawns
Iceni 1
Surbiton
Plus 2 of the following allocated North and 3 allocated South
The Sharks 2
Guildford Castles
Anglian Avengers
Kings Head
Check Inn
Due to the geographical closeness of the venues, perhaps the squads with 2 teams can be seperated?

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
I don't know how many teams the Manticores will have, but I'd guess separating them between 2 venues won't be popular
Maybe asking those with multiple teams might be the best idea, although presumably the idea is to have 2 divisions of roughly equal strength

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
If I read the proposals correctly, the idea was that the two parts of Division 3 would be separated by time as well as space. They would alternate with playing alongside divisions 1/2 and division 4.Mick Norris wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 1:39 pmbut I'd guess separating them between 2 venues won't be popular

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
Manticores 1 and 2, if both in Div 3, would ideally be at the same venue
If we have a Manticores 3, then yes, they'd be at a different venue some of the time
Anyway, I shouldn't encroach on a Div 3 S thread

Re: Division 3 South 2021-22
It would appear we can't have Manticores 1 and 2 in the same division, unless we play as separate squads, which seems impracticalNick Burrows wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 12:05 pmAssuming all teams continue and split squads, the Div 3 pools should look something like this:

So presumably the same applies with Warks 1 and 2, and Wessex A and B, so there may well be some swapping around from the above
