The U19 ECF National School Chess Championships 2021/22

Post by Neill Cooper » Fri Sep 24, 2021 12:16 pm

Entries are invited for the United Kingdom’s leading and most prestigious team competition for schools. This competition, formerly The Sunday Times and then The Times Championship, and more recently run by the ECF (English Chess Federation) has existed since 1957. The Championship is open to all schools in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Teams are of 6 players, who should be pupils of the school they represent.

In the Autumn Term, 2021 teams seek to qualify for the Regional Stage in Spring Term 2022. Strong teams can claim automatic qualification to the Regional Stage. Other teams will have a range of routes to qualify for the Regional Stage, including after school events, small local leagues and internet events.
