Reminder: The Annual WCC Club Championship Starts Tonight!

No Quads.  No Ladders.  Back to my favorite event of the year - 6 rounds of G100d5 for the championship of the club, and bragging rights for a year.  (Someone has to dethrone Evan...)

Remember - our new policy is that the Lower Section is U1200 and the Upper Section is strictly 1200+.  We will honor current live ratings to play up, so be ready to show that you are eligible.  Also, the winner of the most recent U1200 Swiss (the New Year Swiss) was Jaswanth Akkina, but his rating now qualifies him directly for the Upper Section, so, tied for 2nd in the New Year Swiss were Veda Kakumanu and Matt Waller.  These players are eligible to play in the Upper Section if they so desire.

Please reply here or send an email to wcc-tds@googlegroups.com to enter.  

ANYONE IN LINE AT 7PM (or pre-registered) WILL BE REGISTERED TO PLAY IN ROUND 1.

PEOPLE ARRIVING AFTER 7PM WILL LIKELY GET A 1/2 POINT BYE FOR ROUND 1.  

Please plan accordingly.

See you tonight.

Thanks - John D

Feb Quad and Ladder - final results and closing notes

Hi everybody - 

Congrats to the quad / section winners:
  • Quad A: Seghers / Coons tied for 1st/2nd
  • Quad B: 1st - DeMastri, 2nd - Jensen
  • Quad C: 1st - Klandrud, 2nd - Chaveriat
  • Quad D: 1st - Pezewski, 2nd - Kopp
  • Quad E: Muthupandiyan / Vivek tied for 1st/2nd
  • Quad F: 1st - Slavik, 3-way tie for 2nd
Couple of more points here:
  • Thanks to everyone for making this event a success, we only had one irremediable quad section pairing, all other quads complete as expected - big, big thank you to everyone for committing to this event.  I look forward to running the next one later this year!
  • The goal of this was to create more competitive games - we had only 7 draws in quad play out of 74 rated games!!  There were no draws in the ladder week.  This looks like a success from the competitive games metric.
  • Everything shows as 8 rounds because USCF...  The last quad was more of a regular 4 week event (as planned), so it reports as 8 rounds (4 weeks with 2 games/week), so USCF extended all of the sections to 8 rounds in this event.  Doesn't affect any other parts of this.
  • If you played in multiple sections (quad / extra games / ladder), the ratings for each section here start from your last rated event, view the actual final updates on the USCF site as they're updated (will repost here when they're rerated for chronological order).  Extra games section shows all actually played games as close to the actual order they were played as allowed for rounds/rating.
  • we had a couple of membership issues preventing us from rating this event, thanks to everyone for getting those resolved quickly
