Club Championship

Club Championship 2012
As in previous years, the club championship is a five round swiss tournament with seeding in the early rounds.
It is played during the summer months after the end of the league season and before the start of the next league season.

The current format of the club championship evolved from the informal summer swiss tournament which used to run just in the summer months, unlike the club championship that ran throughout the year. The original club championship was not completed during the year of the tragic death of Harry Marsden who was leading the tournament at the time. It was a number of years before club championship was started again. It was natural that the summer swiss evolved into the club championship.
