NCCL Rapids – 2025-26

This page gives the Rapid team events run by the North Circular Chess League.

In the summer events each match is comprised of two rounds played at G20+10 (Game in 20 minutes + 10 seonds per move for each player); equates to 30 minutes each for 60 moves – longer if the game goes beyond 60 moves.

There are two summer team tournaments, in which we entered a total of six teams, the Baum Trophy, in which we entered three teams (BT1, BT2 and BT3) and the Rapid U1650 team tournament in which we entered a further three teams, styled NR4, NR5 and NR6. The matches between the Wanstead teams all took place as usual on “Bonanza Night” which was played on 27 May 2025.

There are also two KO Cups, the Lawrance Cup and the Finchley Cup, which are played during the regular league season. The Lawrance Cup is for Division A teams, the Finchley Cup is for teams in Divisions B and C. We will add tabs for the Knockouts when our entries to these comppetitions have been determined.

The NCCL competitions allow teams to agree to play additional boards over the stated minimum for each competition.

All the games played by Wanstead members in these competitions count towards the John Philpott Trophy.
