29/02/12 – IMPORTANT – Grading
Message from CCA grader –Mike Creaney- ochshere[at]ntlworld.com
As you know we now have twice yearly grades so it is important to date every match otherwise all events are taken as being played on the 1st of October
This wasn’t such a problem previously as the method used to make up the 30 game grade that the ECF uses, was to use the grading performance figure
IE: played 20 then 10 games added at your previous years grading performance.
The method now used is, play 20 then your 10 most recent games are added, so you can see if you had a decent result in say Dec but it was not dated and taken as played on Oct 1st it may not be counted in your 10 most recent.
What I’m asking is sometime between now and the end of May could you provide me with the dates of any games you play(ed) in your club championship and/or Cleveland Individual competitions, I apologise for not picking up on this earlier.
28/02/12 – Guisborough A v Peterlee
League match : Guisborough A v Peterlee
The above A division fixture scheduled to be played on Monday 20th February 2012 did not take place.
Having spoken to both captains it would appear that the following sequence of events took place.
1) The Peterlee captain phoned the league organiser on the afternoon of the 20th to seek advice on what options were available to him if he wished to cancel the game at short notice without the agreement of the opposing team captain, he was made aware of rule 6.1.2 which deals with such matters and Rule 6.2 which allows the league organiser to cancel the match at short notice in exceptional circumstances.
He was also advised that the game could go ahead with only 3 players with no penalty.
The Peterlee captain did not advise the league organiser of which option he wished to take.
2) The Peterlee captain advised the Guisborough captain on the afternoon of the 20th that he could only field 3 players and was unwilling to travel to Guisborough
3) After discussion both captains appear to have agreed to cancel the match and award the game 5-0 to Guisborough by default.At no stage during or after point 2 was the league organiser notified of any decisions, and only became aware of the unilateral decision of the two captains when the result was posted on the CCA website as a 5-0 default.The issues here are :
1) The league rules on postponing a fixture were not adhered too, in so much as rule 6.1.2 or 6.2 was not followed properly by the Peterlee team captain when no agreement on cancelling the match could be made.
2) There are no rules within the CCA allowing team captains to claim games by default. The rule covering defaults are set out in rules 6.6 and 6.7, however these should only be applied after all other avenues have been explored to re-schedule the game. Ultimately the league organiser should determine if a game is defaulted and NOT team captains. In this case neither team captain appears to have explored the possiblility of re-scheduling this fixture.
2) The Peterlee captain advised the Guisborough captain on the afternoon of the 20th that he could only field 3 players and was unwilling to travel to Guisborough

In this case neither team captain appears to have explored the possiblility of re-scheduling this fixture.
In view of the above the following ruling will apply to this game:
1) The game will be re-scheduled for a future date to be agreed between Guisborough Chess Club and the League Organiser, this date to be agreed within the next 7 days.
2) Peterlee Chess club are to be deducted 1 league point, the penalty that would have applied if an agreement to re-schedule the game had been correctly explored by the two captains (Rule 6.1.2):
3) Peterlee Chess Club will only be able to field players registered to play on or before 20th February in the re-arranged fixture.
