Doncaster Jamboree Round 3

 

The Doncaster Jamboree, a friendly over-the-board evident, hit an organisational hiatus after the first two rounds, but the next round has now been announced by Sean McDonald, as follows:

 

Hi all,

 

Thank you for everyone who attending the first couple of rounds of the new Jamboree competition [on 3rd Nov and 1st Dec] and my apologies that the last two rounds [Jan and Feb] didn’t go ahead. Fortunately, Round 3 will be going ahead now and is being held on the 16th of March at 7:30pm, in the same venue: The Bombardier’s Club (formally the Rhino) in Woodlands.  This is both for the size of the room and to allow those from Barnsley or a far to have less distance to travel.  As usual, there is no charge for the tournament, but it is expected that we will give our custom to the bar and not bring our own food and drink.

 

Please read the following key information below:

  *

There is no charge for entry.

*

The venue is the Bombardier in Woodlands.  Address is Princess St, Woodlands, Doncaster DN6 7LX.

*

Registration ends at 7:30pm sharp so that games can commence by 7:45pm.

*

Each round contains 1 standard play game.  The time control is an hour each for 30 moves.  After Black’s 30th move, clocks are set back by 15 minutes.

*

The event is ECF graded, and membership is required.

*

Players (or captains) should aim to email me with the information of attendees as soon as possible so that I can prepare in advance.

*

Matches are designed to be fun and competitive.  As such, you will be paired with a player of a similar grade as opposed to a player on the same points (especially for players who have missed rounds).

*

Above all, this event is designed to be social and so be prepared to chat!  If you have tournament entry forms for congresses, feel free to bring a selection to display.

 

For what it is worth, given that it is a friendly event, cumulative results after two rounds are as follows:
