The BFCC Executive Committee has introduced important changes for the 2009-10 BCCC as follows:
Championship section to have a minimum of 11 and maximum of 15 players
Winners and runners up of Candidates to be promoted to Championship (no more than 3 Candidates sections)
GM, SIM and IM title holders and players with a current ICCF rating of 2350 or above not otherwise qualified may apply for direct entry to the Championship section (this will depend on vacancies and a place cannot be guaranteed)
There will be double promotion from the 3 ongoing Candidates sections.
The entry fee remains at £12 and entries should be sent to Phill Beckett, Brough House, Retford, Notts., DN22 0NQ. Please specify membership of BFCC or a named affiliated CC organisation. If applying for direct entry to the Championship, please state your qualification and whether you would be willing to play in a Candidates section if there is no suitable vacancy. Payment by cheque (payable to 'BFCC') or by PayPal through the BFCC web site and send the relevant information separately (e-mail Phill via the 'contact us' page).
