Greetings All!
Now that 2018 is here, it is time for a brand new year of chess!!
Before I tell you about the upcoming tournament, the US BCA has a big
announcement!!
For the first time ever, the US BCA has decided to open up our membership free
to everyone!
That is right!! Anyone who would like to join the US BCA and play chess, then
you can do so absolutely free!!
So let me welcome everyone to the 2018 US BCA Open Divisional Tournament!!
The tournament will begin on Monday, January 15, 2018.
In the 2018 Open Divisional Tournament, everyone will be divided into divisions
depending on their rating status. Each player will play the other players in
their division in two games, once as white and once as black. There will be 10
rounds in the tournament, each round starting on the 15th of each month. At
the end of the tournament, the player that has the most wins in each division
will be a Divisional Winner in the 2018 Open Divisional Tournament!
To sum things up:
* This is a correspondence tournament played by email.
* Participants of the tournament will be divided into divisions, no more than
6 players, depending on their rating status.
* Not at the same time or back to back, but you will play each player in your
division two times, once as white and once as black.
* The tournament will consist of 10 rounes, each round starting on the 15th of
each month.
* At the end of the tournament, the player who wins the most games in their
division will be a Divisional Winner of the tournament!
This is going to be a fun and enjoyable tournament with lots of competition, so
I would highly encourage you to sign up!! It is a good way to meet and get to
know other people in the US BCA, while doing one of our favorite past times...
playing chess!
I would hate for you to miss out on such a great event, so to sign up, please
send your request to me as soon as possible, but no later than January 13, 2018.
Please send it to:
