- The Fixtures page now shows the County match captains 2012-13. Do keep checking this page. One fixture has changed already.
27 Aug 2012
|
- The August revision of the ECF grading list went live this morning. This is the version that counts for eligibility all through the season in SCCU County matches. Captains are advised to check it, because more than 250 Standardplay grades have been revised.
24 Aug 2012
|
- David Smith, County Match Controller, presents the SCCU Fixtures 2012-13. Match captains' details will follow shortly.
05 Aug 2012
|

|
- The new July 2012 grades went live this morning. Do check your game results, and report any errors in time for correction in the pre-season August revision. This means quickly, because July/August is the logjam period.
22 Ju1 2012
|
- That's the grading out of the way. So SCCU AGM 14.7 12: a report. Let us know if you were there and can correct errors.
- Snodland Rapidplay 21.7.12
- Did we let something slip? The July 2012 grading list has been put to bed and should be public, barring error, in two or three days (but errors happen). Now we can turn to those ECF Counties Finals results.
08 Ju1 2012
|
- National Club Finals 8.7.12. We have the three London results. Syston may take a little longer.
- Counties Finals 7.7.12. The world and his dog knows the SCCU came away with 6 titles out of 7. We have posted the bare match scores and will catch up with the details as soon as we can. In the meantime you can find the details at http://www.e2e4.org.uk/live.
07 Ju1 2012
|
- Yateley Manor Schools concluded yesterday. For match details see the Detailed Results page.
17 Jun 2012
|
- National Club. We now have firm news of all the Finals venues.
16 Jun 2012
|
- Surrey Schools: Briant Poulter League 2011-12
- National Club. We have some news of the Finals venues.
10 Jun 2012
|
- Open 9.6.12 Somerset 7½ 8½ Middx; Sussex 5 11 Surrey
- Minor 9.6.12 Herts 9 7 Hants; Essex 7 9 Leics
- U180 9.6.12 Middx 9 7 Surrey
- U140 9.6.12 Lancs 10½ 5½ Surrey; Herts 11 5 Worcs
- U120 9.6.12 Warwicks 4 8 Essex; Herts 7½ 4½ Lancs
- That's all the results in, in detail if you include our links to the two foreign matches. SCCU has 9 teams in the Finals. This really ought to be a record, but we haven't checked. Three titles are assured, and it could be six. Pity about the U160.

- Open Forum. David Sedgwick notes a curiosity in the U100 results.
07 Jun 2012
|
- U100 SF: a non-result in SCCU's favour. SCCU contribution to national-stage defaults is now less than 50%.
29 May 2012
|
- National Club Minor. Someone did know what happened between Hackney and Forest of Dean! All the Finalists are determined now, so they'll be announcing the venues any time.
28 May 2012
|
- National Club Intermediate: we have the last of the semi-final results. Both Finals are SCCU v North, and everyone's waiting to find out where they'll be played.
- National Club Major just received: again the last semi-final result.
- Oh, and the Minor. It's gone quiet again. Does anyone know what happened in the critical match Hackney v Forest of Dean, which they were scheduled to play a fortnight ago?
22 May 2012
|
- The QF results are all in, and they are pleasing to an SCCU eye. We have 14 semi-finalists from an original entry of 18 (and of our four losers, three went out by default). No other Union has more than 6 semi-finalists if we've added up correctly. Chicken-counting would be unwise, but is 14 semi-finalists a record?

- ECF-stage matches: another default in SCCU's favour, in the U120 this time. There's a lot of it about. That's half a dozen defaults so far, and the SCCU's contribution is down to 50%.
15 May 2012
|
- ECF-stage matches: SCCU team is beneficiary of a default in the U100. (Our informant was mistaken yesterday, of course. There has been a proper SCCU result, also in the U100.)
14 May 2012
|

27 Apr 2012
|

- Yateley Manor Schools is more than half way through the quarter-finals. Keep watching.
26 Apr 2012
|

05 Apr 2012
|
- ECF-Stage matches: our first, and not altogether welcome, result of the season. "Result", sorry.
04 Apr 2012
|
- The SCCU Executive Committee met on schedule 30.3.12. Report shortly, but you may like to note that the SCCU Championship 2012-13 has been awarded to the Hastings International 2012-13, and BCQ places to the London Classic and the Weald Congress.
- Which means we have another BCQ place to give. We ran out of applicants. Further applications are now invited. Applicants should be, or should be prepared to become, Members (either County or non-County) of the SCCU. Contact the SCCU Secretary by the end of April 2012.
- ECF-Stage pairings 2012. We find, on consulting the ECF website, that the pairings in a couple of places are not what we expected.
- We are asked to say that David Welch, ECF Chief Arbiter, will be running a training course for prospective ECF Arbiters on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May at Wellington College, Crowthorne. The weekend will finish with the Arbiters' Examination, which lasts two and a half hours. For further information contact David on 0151 733 1866.
