Ennis Shield 2016/17

cdeb

Details are here.

Hard to look beyond Gonzaga for a fourth straight promotion.

The relegated Rathmines C team was the one with lots of junior players - don't know how they're splitting the teams this year, but if they've kept anywhere near the same strength, they should be pushing for the top as well.

Anyone know if the Leagues are being rated every 2 rounds this year?

They have to send that information that way to FIDE anyway, so I expect so.

It may be that they're waiting till the round 2 results from all divisions are in? There's still a couple outstanding in the bottom divisions.

Congrats to Gonzaga.

This result confirms their promotion as they are 7 points ahead of Dun Laoghaire with just the one round to play.

Rathmines A are 2.5 points ahead of Dun Laoghaire for the second promotion spot.

Question for the board on the missing match; Dublin v Longford from the 21st Jan

How long do both teams have to play this match?

I know an Armstrong game this season was declared a null and void result as it was not played in time.

My understanding is that Longford turned up for the match, but the home Dublin team never appeared.

Supposedly the match was instead to be rearranged and then played in Longford at a later date.

At what stage do Longford either get the points or do the league declare the match null? is there an open ended time limit to play the match?

Dublin are in a three way battle with Rathmines B and Curragh for the second relegation spot, so the final result is important for all sides

L1m1tless

Good question, I don't know the answer unfortunately.

If Longford showed up and Dublin didn't, I would have assumed its a 6-0 Default to Longford.

Make that a 4 way battle now as Cavan beat Inchicore 5.5 to 0.5 on Saturday.

That sort of thing isn't explicitly in the rules. It's at the controller's discresson. Mostly, that's a good thing - it's hard to allow for all the weird reasons something can delay a match.

Nearly. There was once a team that managed to lose a Heidenfeld match by the improbable score of 8 - -6, so there's still hope if Gonzaga turn up in the final round with only a board 6 or something.
