2010 GOLD
COAST OPEN
A Yulgibar-Think Big Australian Chess Grand Prix Class 5 event
A
highlight of our year at the chess centre (Mudgeeraba) will be the week of
chess where we host the Gold Coast Open followed immediately by the Queensland
Junior Championships.
The Gold Coast Open, a category 5 Australian Grand Prix event is widely regarded
as one of the top five weekenders in the nation. Grandmaster Ian Rogers will be
providing live game analysis in our café area throughout the weekend. It will
be the first time that we have held this tournament at the chess centre.
Already GM David Smerdon and IM George Xie have confirmed their entries.
Players of any standard can enter the tournament. There
are open, under 1600 and under 1000 sections. Thanks to Dr Peter Haron who is
sponsoring $1,250 in prizes in the under 1000 section, even relative beginners
can win a prize. A great weekend of chess is anticipated for all on 26/27 June.
Altogether, nearly $7,000 in prizes are up for grabs!

QUEENSLAND JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
The Queensland Junior Championships always
features a great week of chess, and this year should be as good as any.
Grandmaster Ian Rogers, arguably Australia's finest and most industrious coach
and very infuential in the development of junior players, will be providing
after game analysis for all players throughout the week.
Already Robin Wei from Cairns has confirmed
his entry, and billet accommodation will be sought for any other players from
remote areas of Queensland wishing to play. The more the merrier.
There is a slightly new routine for the week
this year.
Under 8s Monday 28th June
Under 10s Tuesday 29th June
Under 12s Mon/Tues 28th/29th June
Under 14s, 16s and 18s (combined) Wed to Sat 30th June to 3rd July
Age groups are as at 1/1/10. The schedule
allows under 8s to also enter the under 10s if they wish, and likewise for the
under 12s to enter the combined Under14s/16s/18s if they wish.

2011
AUSTRALIAN JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
15-23 Jan 2011
Mooroolbark, Victoria
On behalf of Chess
Victoria, a group of chess club (Ranges and Croydon mostly) members and parents
from Victoria will be hosting the Australian Junior 2011 at the Billanook
College, Mooroolbark, Melbourne on behalf of the Australian Junior Chess
League. This will be the first time the Australian Junior has been held in the
state for quite some time, so we are all very excited about the event! This
post is just to give some preliminary basic details, all of which are subject
to final confirmation; full details will be online on a website established for
the event in coming months.
Note that this was announced and some details were distributed last weekend at
the Doeberl Cup.
Dates: January 15-23 2011. Note the event will run a maximum of 9 days
(and occupying only 1 working week)
Venue: Billanook College, Mooroolbark (www.billanook.vic.edu.au) is located in the gateway to the Yarra Valley of Melbourne. It
is located on 15 hectares of natural bushland in a quiet, semi-rural
environment. The venue is first class and chess events are run there on a
regular basis. The college is 2km from the nearest station and we will be running
shuttle buses to there and also to nearby accommodation, depending on demand.
Accommodation: A range of accommodation styles and costs is being
negotiated. Stay tuned for more details! There is handy conference centre
accommodation and a dozen motels within 20 minutes of the venue, plus a couple
of caravan parks and a mediation centre. Those with more up market tastes, well
Melbourne IS the capital of suave.
Schedule: This is brand new, not been tried before, but should prove
more attractive, especially for visitors, as the younger players event is
finished in fewer days. The attached draft schedule may be more useful. But in
summary:
Six championship events, in open and girls divisions
The event runs for 9 days for the U18/U16 players, 6 days for the U14/U12s and 4 days for the U10/U8 players
All lightning and problem solving happen on the Tuesday
There is no rapid tournament
Those under 10 could play in both the U10/U8 and the U14/U12 events
Organisers: The main organisers are myself, Scott
Humphreys, Pearl Yung, NY Wong, Yew Sze Lim supported by Paul Bearup, Jamie
Cross and Kerry Lyall and others too numerous to mention at this stage. All of
these people bring a wealth of experience to junior chess events.
Social events: We will be aiming to provide various social events for
players and parents to make the event as friendly and enjoyable as possible and
give parents more options for things to do while the tournament is on.
Official website should be online by around the end of June, or earlier if the
stars align properly. But block out your mini-break in Melbourne dates for now.
Contact: me either via this site, or send an email to ajcc2011@gmail.com. We are
looking for all offers of support (in any form, sponsors, volunteers, etc) and
am happy to consider all suggestions at this stage.

CAQ
UNAUTHORISED WITHDRAWAL POLICY
I think it is fair to say
that one of the biggest banes of organisers and arbiters alike is when players
decide to not show for their final round games without at least informing the
arbiter that they will not be present for the final round so the arbiter can at
least take that player out of the draw.
Not only is this type of behaviour selfish and in poor form, but it is also
against the unauthorised withdrawal policy of the CAQ, which states:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unauthorised Withdrawals:
d) Withdrawals. Any player who has completed the first round of any tournament shall not withdraw from that tournament without approval from the organiser or DOP. A player whose withdrawal has not been approved by the organiser or DOP will be regarded as an unapproved withdrawer. In such cases one or more of the following penalties may be applied:-
- listing as an unapproved
withdrawer in CAQ newsletters and/or web site
- and/or suspension from the CAQ
The secretary may request a verbal or written explanation in determining the
appropriate course of action
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Players who do not show for a tournament round without prior explanation can
expect a please explain letter in the mail from the CAQ Council asking why they
failed to show for their tournament game and why one of the above listed
actions should not be taken.
