Raising BCCA teams for the ICCF Champions League

We are assembling BCCA teams to enter the next season of the ICCF Champions League. So, if you are rated around 2250 or over, you can be considered for one of the teams.

BCCA will pay all entry fees so this is an excellent way to get value for your membership.

The ICCF announcement is here:ย https://www.iccf.com/message?message=1256ย  so you can probably expect to play 12 games.

Champions League play is usually quite tough. Players will be organised into teams of 4 players and most players will play in Level C. Last time around, the strength of play in Level C ranged from Category 3 on top board to Minor Categories on lower boards.

So, if you fit the rating criteria, do you wish to be considered to play? Because teams consist of 4 players, I cannot guarantee anyone a place at this time. If I get an odd number of players then some people may miss out. But most will get to play. BCCA entered 6 teams (24 players) last season.

Obviously, all players must maintain their BCCA membership for the duration of the tournament.

If you wish to play, please let me know within the next 10 days. Thank you.

Regards,
Neil Limbert
