Biennial Special Events | ||
3. Herbert W. Gustafson Memorial (Played in Even-Numbered Years) - this special event is named in Herbert W. Gustafson's
honor. When Mr. Gustafson passed away in 2008, he left a bequest to CCLA to support chess events like this, a semi-class event with sections of four players with two games
per opponent. All games will be by server, with no chess engines allowed. The tournament is open to all residents of the United States and its territories, with no CCLA
membership requirement and no entry fee. The prize for winning a section will be a $19 credit that can be used only for CCLA membership dues or, for CCLA members, as entry fees to CCLA
events. Section prize is split in the event of a tie. | ||
4. CCLA Server Team Championship (Played in Odd-Numbered Years) - this is one of our most popular events. Teams will
consist of six players. Team and individual applications accepted. If you apply as an individual we will assign you to a team based on your rating and a
team's needs. The number of divisions, teams per division and games played per opponent depend on the number of entries. Teams are assigned to divisions based
on the average team rating. Each player plays one or two games against opponents on his board (Board 1 plays all other Board 1 players, etc.)

Please make sure your e-mail address is up-to-date on the server, to avoid missing a tournament start sheet or opponents' move notices. If you do not have an ICCF ID#, let us know before you enter your first CCLA server tournament, so we have time to get you registered. We need your first name, middle initial (optional but recommended), last name and the e-mail address where you would like move notifications sent. This address is held privately and used only to send you official e-mail from the ICCF Webserver or from the CCLA Server T.D. concerning your games. | |||
