ECF NATIONAL SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP
2005-6


The competition is complete. The eight semi-final qualifiers met at Uppingham School 6th and 7th July 2006 to decide the Plate and Championship winners. It was a delightful venue. Cyril Johnson, ECF Junior Director, attended. David Welch, as ever, was Arbiter. Nottingham HS A are Champions, retaining their title. Monmouth School take the Plate Championship.

For the local Zones, and an overview of the season, see further down. For the complete national-stage knock-out matches, see Detailed match results.

There is an age handicap. The older team, to win, must finish ahead by a number of points at least equal to the age difference in years (taken as an integer by truncation, and with a maximum value of 4). Teams winning on age handicap (or on board count if there is no handicap) are marked by an asterisk. Failing an asterisk, the team with more points is the winner.
