Basildon Chess Club

Basildon Minor Club Championship 2026 This competition is open to all our members (adult and junior) with an ECF Rating below 1700.
The tournament consists of 4 all-play-all (once) groups. The winner and runner-up of each group will qualify for the quarter-finals. In the event of a tie for 1st/2nd place, the head to head game will act as a tie breaker. If this was drawn, 1st/2nd place will be decided by the toss of a coin. In the event of a tie for 2nd/3rd, a Rapid play off will take place. No tie breaker in this case.
The 4 Group winners will play the 4 runners-up in the quarter final knockout stage, with the winners then proceeding to a semi-final and final.
The time controls for all non-rapid games will be 80 mins + 10 secs per move.
All non-rapid games will be submitted for ECF rating.
