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.
