States Cup Chess League season 4
Season 4 of the States Cup online chess league is scheduled to start on April 22. Nevada entered 2 teams in the league during season 3, and we are planning to enter at least 2 teams for season 4. Any Nevada player who is interested in playing should contact Tom Brownscombe at tkbrownscombe@hotmail.com no later than March 27. Full league rules and match schedule can be found at https://docs.google.com/…/1qmHRbNwB47J89LgsKUezEvj…/edit
Matches are played online on chess.com on Monday nights. Once our teams have been registered, players who wish to join a team should contact Ryan Phillips. Ryan will add players to existing team rosters based upon availability in accordance with the league rules. Note that high rated players (2130+) who might have any interest in playing in this league should contact Tom Brownscombe no later than March 27 to be put on an initial team roster because league rules restrict the addition of high rated players after rosters have been created.
