Welcome to the North Staffs and District Chess Association Website
Important Information.

League AGM: It was held on Thursday 10th July at Kidsgrove Chess Club. Full details will appear over the weekend, but for the moment there is a list of all leagues for next season and provisional entries on the link to the left: "League Structure 2008".

Website Problems: Due to the way the website is designed, there are problems with showing Rapidplay scorecards. This is because many players have no rapidplay grade and so this is causing problems. The tables and results are correct, as are the player stats, the only problem is that players grades aren't showing. I will look to find a cure for this asap. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Update: Three of the four problem pages have now been fixed, and so all scorecards can be viewed correctly in these pages. The only page still to be changed is the player list which requires a lot more code and database changes and so will be dealt with as soon as possible. The player page, scorecards page and fixture page have all been fixed. If any more are broken please let me know.
