* Board Ruling on the final round match between Witney & Swindon and Bristol(2)
     The final round Division 2 match between Witney & Swindon v Bristol 2 ended in a 4-4 draw. This enabled Wessex to pip Witney and Swindon to the third promotion spot in the division by game points.
     After the match was over, Witney & Swindon noticed that the Bristol 2 board 1 was rated 93 points higher than the Bristol 1 board 7, thus breaching the "80-point rule". Consequently they appealed against the result arguing that the top board game should be scored as a win for Witney & Swindon rather than the draw that had occurred. This would give them a 4.5-3.5 victory and clear third place in the division and hence automatic promotion. Wessex argued that as the game was over and the result posted, no change should be allowed.
     This unfortunate situation has been very difficult to resolve. Since the final promotion place is at stake and the League’s rules give no guidance as to the time by which a team must complain about the composition of the opposing team, the Board’s preferred option was to allow the issue to be settled at the chess board by a play-off between the two teams. Unfortunately this has proved impossible to arrange.
     The Board has therefore decided, after lengthy deliberation,that the complaint by Witney & Swindon came too late and that the 4-4 result of the Witney & Swindon v Bristol 2 match should stand. Wessex remains in third place and will be promoted. (4NCL Press Release, 21 May 2001)
