U19 National School Chess Championships 2021/22

The U19 ECF National School Chess Championships 2021/22 is now open for entries at https://www.englishchess.org.uk/NSCC/under-19-championships/. All schools are welcome, and we are grateful to Winchester College for sponsoring this event so that it is free to enter.
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 if they played in a 2019 Regional Final or have six pupils with a total ECF over-the-board rating of at least 10,000. Other teams will have a range of routes to qualify for the Regional Stage, including after school events, small local leagues and internet events. Most of these will be in November 2021.
