For those of you not in the mailing-list loop, it looks like an internet team match between Gauteng (i.e. Joburg, Soweto and Pretoria club) and the Western Cape (i.e. Cape Town and Stellenbosch club) is in the offing for late July or early August. The match is scheduled to take place on KGS on a Tuesday night from around 19h30, but which Tuesday is yet to be finalised. All games will be scratch. The original plan was to have 10 players for each team, but this number is subject to change if there’s enough interest.
Each player will be responsible for his own internet connection, but it seems the Joburg club players at least are looking at getting together at an Internet cafe before their regulare games at the Joburg go club.
The “team managers” at this stage seem to be Tristen for Gauteng and Konrad for the Western Cape. The tournament is open to everyone, so if you want to play, contact the relevant team manager (mail them by clicking on their names) before 1 July. Note that the final teams will be selected by the team managers, so you may not get to play if the one region shows more interest, or if the teams are unbalanced, but I’m sure an effort will be made to accomodate as many people as possible.
I guess the plan is to make this an annual event if it’s a success. Once details are more clear, I’ll add a page about the event.
Anyone with more info or corrections on this post, please comment below).
