There was a good turn out for our
annual chess tournament, held at 33rd Oxford HQ on Saturday 18 November.
We had six Cubs taking part, split over two teams - a total of ten teams participated, from eight different Packs. Our
teams each played five other teams, selected at random. Scoring one
point for a win and half a point for a draw, the totals were tallied up
to give a maximum score of 18 points. The winners were 8th Oxford, with
an impressive 15.5 points, with our 33rd Jacala "Dream Team" (made up of James, Austin and George) in second (13.5 points) and
Wheatley in third (12 points). And well done to our other team of Philip, Bethany and Ravi who all played very well. A special mention goes to James who won every single one of his games! The
chess competition provides an excellent opportunity for beginners to
get involved - many Cubs learn to play so that they can take part in the
tournament - and is always good fun. Particular thanks go to our
adjudicators, without whom we wouldn't be able to run the competition,
as quite a few of the Cubs leaders don't know the rules! |
