St Albans Herts Sharp Knockout Team Results 2011-2012 Season

The Sharp Trophy is the annual Under 160 knock out competition of the Hertfordshire Chess Association. The club's fixtures and results in this competition are as follows.

18 October 2011 -- Quarter Final:   Hertford v St Albans

The match was tied 3 - 3. The first method of resolving a tie is on board count (the winning team having the lower total of board numbers on won games). However this match was a tie on board count, and St Albans progress to the semi-finals by the elimination rule (eliminating the bottom Board and working upwards until there is a result). In the semi finals we will play at home against Bishops Stortford (date TBD).

12 March 2012 -- Semi Final: St Albans v Bishops Stortford

Like the quarter final, the sem final was tied 3 - 3. St Albans quaify for the final on board count (the winning team having the lower total of board numbers on won games). The final will be a home match against Watford on 30th April.

30 April 2012 -- Final: St Albans v Watford

Like the quarter final and the semi final, the final was tied 3 - 3. This time, however, it was our opponents who gained victory on board count (the winning team having the lower total of board numbers on won games). Congratulations to the Watford team on winning the Sharp Trophy this year.
