Master Cup
The Master Cup provides an opportunity for club members to play one another in a graded competition on club nights when they are not involved in a match against another club. The rate of play is 35 moves in 75 minutes, followed by a 15 minute Quickplay finish.
It is an "all play all" competition, where each member plays each other club member once as white and once as black over the course of the season. If you are looking for an opponent in the Master Cup on any club night, it is a good idea to arrange this in advance; phone numbers and email addresses of club members are available in the Members Area of this website.
Members should let Ben Wilkinson know the result of each Master Cup game that they play, so that Ben can update the competition tables and forward the results to the ECF grading database.
