Julie Sussex & I talking at last 4NCL weekend about only one team in the Open & nothing for players in other sections. Looking at their scores so far is it possible that they will enter Minor Counties at National Stages with average below 180? To give them a chance to play County Chess this season.
On the lower sections Surrey suggested less boards 14 not 16. Struggling to get teams out without going to not just the team below but also to the team below that.
Is 4NCL actually growing? Just that an e-mail that we are struggling for 3 teams at the next weekend. So even though I got my lift at the last County match 26th sorted I may not need it on 9th/10th Feb.

How many teams actually played last weekend?
How many teams will play the next weekend with it being further away.
Notionally up but actually?
The point is many players play both competitions.

There is a complete difference on defaults on six board matches in 4NCL to the defaults on 16 or 12 board County Chess. But I suspect you have not played County Chess for a while.

Big improvement on where we started though
