Calendar for 2010Annual General MeetingWednesday 10th March 2010, starting at 7pm - Chess Centre, 10 Ranelagh St Adelaide Interschool Matches Team Registrations will starts from 10th March onwards - registration will be through the website or by ringing me .The Matches start the SECOND week back in second term - the week ending Friday 30th April I have just listed the Friday dates - so adjust for Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday comps please.Many of the primary competitions take place on days other than the Friday - the Hills Competition for example is typically Mondays, while there are others after-school on Wednesday and Thursday nights etc but these dates should be a useful guide. We have deliberately started the competition a week later to give schools a chance to organise their teams in the first week back without the typical panic that has occurred in recent years. The Primary week dates are: Term 2: Rd 1 Fri 30th April; Term 3: (please note that these have changed slightly and will start in the second week of the 3rd term to allow for some private schools who are having a 3-week term break) Rd 5 Fri 30th July, (different to previously advertised before the AGM!!!!) The dates and format for the Southern League's Competition will be decided shortly. The dates for the Parkside Competition are also different: Term 2: April 20th, May 4th, May 18th, June 8th The Secondary Competition dates are: Div 1 Dates are: Rd 1 Fri 30th April; Rd 5 Fri 30th July Div 2 Dates are: Rd 1 & 2 Fri 7th May The dates for Div 3 are: Rd 1 & 2 Fri 30th April; Presentations and Finals The Secondary Presentation night and Lightning Tournament will be on Friday September 10th at 7.30pm The Primary B and C Finals will be on Friday Sept 10th starting at 4pm - to be confirmed The Evelyn Koshnitsky Tournament will be on Friday September 17th starting at 4pm The Primary Presentation will be October 22nd at 7pm Half-Day Week 8 Tournaments 1st term: WEDNESDAY 17th March 2010 2nd term:WEDNESDAY June 9th 3rd term: WEDNESDAY September 8th 4th term: WEDNESDAY December 1st City of Adelaide Junior Championships State U18-Under12 State U11-U9 State Girls Championship The Week 8 Tournaments - just $10 entry per student - any number and any ability!!The SAJCL will again hold special half-day tournaments in 2010 - they will be held on the Wednesday mornings of the 8th week of each term. They start around 9.15am and finish around 12.30pm. The players will have 10 minutes each per game and should play 6 games in the morning.The tournaments will be held at the Chess Centre in the city but we are hoping that EXTRA tournaments will be held at a school in either the Northern, Southern, Eastern or Western suburbs - if your school is able to help as a venue for a half-day event, please let us know. Interschool Matches The exact details for this year interschool matches have still to be finalised - the availability of venues and Directors of Play etc - but team registrations will start in early March with all the Interschool Matches starting in the second week of Second Term. I will send out an email reminder of when to register. The more teams and students and schools who take part the better, so if your school has played before, please do so again with even more teams - and if you are a new school and a bit unsure of what's involved, please give me a ring and I am sure you will find process of entering teams etc very simple. Other events As well as the normal State and City of Adelaide Junior Championships scheduled through the year, there are many events held by the SA Chess Association that are very suitable for youngsters, such as the adult Interclub Matches which start on Tuesday in late April and the Freytag Checkmate Weekend Tournament in early July. The Dates for the Parkside Competition played on Tuesdays are as follows: Rd 1 Tues May 5th Rd 2 Tues 19th Rd 3 June 2ndRd 4 June 26 but we are hoping that the June 26th can be teams playing each other at their own school as Nan will be abroad!)Rd 5 July 21st, Rd 6 Aug 4th Rd 7 Aug 18thIf the June match doesn’t work we can do a catch up match on 25th August |
