New Met League - Update and Good News

We're having great discussion with the CCLA President and Vice-President. They have formally distributed the New Met League proposal to the CCLA Board. We are also nailing down the last details to get the 06 August 2007 Punxsutawney CC vs. MetroWest CC match off the ground. Many thanks to Herb Hickman and Richard Vandenburg for making this a reality!

Roster so far -----------------------

Club agrees, players recruited:
  • Punxsutawney CC (PA)
  • MetroWest CC (MA)
  • Sven Brask CC (MA)
Club interested, recruiting members:
  • Univ of Conn CC (CT)
Club interested, discussing with members:
  • Greater Worcester CC (MA)
  • Boylston CC (Boston MA)
Club in process of being recruited:
  • Pittsburgh CC
  • The MITRE Corporation CC
------------------------------------
An additional consideration is State chess organizations. We've been working with the Mass Chess Association League Coordinator. I can see down the road this may be a vehicle for states to choose OTB Club champions.

If you know of any OTB Club that is interested, please have them contact me. Please ask them to put "New Met League" in the subject line.

Amici Sumus!
