The Challengers League is a vehicle for providing players with graded games on a evening when they don't have a Torbay League match or a game in one of the Club's principal competitions (Homan League, Dunleavy League or Cookworthy Cup).
At the Committee Meeting on 17th December 2015, it was decided to draw a line at Christmas 2015, and start afresh in January 2016 with shorter time controls - 30 minutes on each player's clock. The idea is that a maximum game duration of 1 hour enables (a) the juniors to participate and complete a game before they leave for the evening, and (b) adult players to play two or even three games in an evening.
Here is the current leaderboard for the Challengers League after 1st January 2016.
