The Counties and Districts is turning out to be interesting this year

Cross Table (iccf.com)

Based on current forecasts, the expected Final table is below. Still lots of moves to be made and the slightest slip could change the table dramatically

In 2022, the BdF will organize several invitational tournaments. They will start on 19 June 2022.
I am pleased to invite players from your federation to the following tournaments.

You are welcome to enter a larger number of candidates, if other federations do not provide the required number of players, they can take the starting places. Please mark the reserve player.

Tournaments will be conducted under the traditional time control of 10 moves in 50 days, 45 days off, with doubling after 20 consecutive days without a move
