With the end of the season 2017/2018 I took the chance to merge both our websites. The reason we had two websites was that the old Chess League Manager, Version 1, was not compatible with Joomla 3.x but only with Joomla 1.5. Now we use the up-to-date Chess League Manager CLM 3 and there is no reason any longer to keep both websites.
There are even more changes because of the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): our website uses cookies and you may or may not accept them. If you reject cookies you may not be able to use all features of our website. The presentation of all clubs playing in our leagues and competitions has also changed and, I hope, improved.
Every member of one of our clubs is welcome to register on this website and send an e-mail to the webmaster: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. The webmaster, i.e. me, will give you additional rights for this website.
As a member of one of our clubs you can get your own MCA-e-mail-account: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

There will be more changes and I will keep you informed here.
