BEA 2015/16

We go again...

A Wexford 1-2 here I think; Enniscorthy and Gorey. I'm presuming Curragh's Bodley board 1 may get a promotion, which would hit their promotion push here.

To go down - Phibsboro and Inchicore maybe? Really don't know; a lot can change teamwise in the lower leagues.

Just glad we've finally got our fourth team out of the Bodley after I don't know how many years!

Current league table is here

L1m1tless

Yes our board one is on to bigger things. We hope to hold our own this year.

Gorey are not there - they went up as a third promotion team following a withdrawl in a higher league I think... I just checked the LCU site...

BTW, when is the deadline for declaring teams...

cdeb

Oh yeah...

I think teams have to be declared before the first round is all

Most teams don't make a specific declaration; their team from their first match is usually taken as the declaration.

Middle Man

Portmarnock were due to play away to Enniscorthy today (Sat 19 Oct) - does anyone know how the match went?

chesstity

3 teams went up from each league from the Ennis league down last year so Gorey went up.on their own merits.

cdeb

St Benildus 2-3 Enniscorthy.

Last board could have gone either way for a long time; went against us in the end. But happy enough overall given the ratings gaps.

A typical touch of class from the world's greatest chess coach after their win yesterday. :rolleyes:

He's been watching too many Mourinho interviews.

Not exactly modest of him is it? - Certainly not the way I'd go about making friends...

Drogheda 3 - 2 St. Benildus

Middle Man

Finglas were due to host Rathmines on Tue 13th October and Dublin were due to play the Curragh today - how did those games go?

The Curragh played Dublin yesterday, it was 4-1 to Dublin

Balbriggan 1* - 3 Drogheda

Should have been entered as 2 -3 then? there's a problem on the site perhaps...

cdeb

The site shows that Balbriggan's board 2 defaulted, in which case the result is correct.

If it's the case that Balbriggan played and lost board 2, then yeah, the result needs amending.

looseliver

So teams get deducted a point for a default?

cdeb

Yes.

Otherwise, you could know you were short a player, declare a full team anyway knowing that your board 2 wasn't actually available, and play board 5, giving your team a better chance of a point.

DmanDmythDledge

Just to confirm - there's only a point deduction if you default a board and declare players on a lower board?

cdeb

I think there may also be a points deduction if you default the bottom board - which seems a bit harsh. But no penalty if you scratch a bottom board. Difference being a default has to have a player declared on the board.

And if, say, Balbriggan had scratched board 2, I think they could have lost all points below that board.

Endgame

Seems the player was declared but showed up more than one hour late which also counts as a default

cdeb

Yup; that'd do it.

Unfortunate, but it happens.

Middle Man

There are two Round 3 matches due today -

Rathmines v Naomh Barrog

Enniscorthy already played St Benildus. It was even commented on on the facebook page in a typical classy manner.

Enniscorthy beat Inchicore 4½-½
