Equipment Deal & Grading games played by BUCA Members
If you’re looking to start up a chess society, or looking for equipment for your existing society, BUCA, in partnership with CCF Mindgames can offer the following:
Equipment
5 sets – one “set” includes a drawstring bag, a set of tournament-standard pieces, and a roll-up board. This will cost £9/set subject to a minimum order of 5 sets.
DGT Easy+ chess clock – a clock that allows users to play competitive games of chess against other people or teams, and have the games graded. The cost for this will be £25 each, or £22.50 each subject to a minimum order of 5 clocks.
Grading
If you wish to have your internal games graded, you can have them graded by BUCA at a cost of 20p per game played (10p per game for rapidplay), which goes directly to the ECF as Game Fee, if the following information is provided: (i) Names of both players (ii) Result of the game (iii) Time control of the game. The results of the game will appear in the next six-monthly grading list. For more about ECF grading, see here.
Note that a “game” consists of two results, and the above Game Fee rates are half the rate you would pay by going directly via the ECF.
Forms
In order to be eligible for this, Universities must have completed and returned the BUCA membership form for that season, and paid the necessary membership fee.
