Lincolnshire have entered 3 teams in this season's competitions: Open, U1850 and U1650.
The September 2023 ratings will be used to determine eligibility to play for the U1850 and U1650 teams. This will allow you to play in all the matches throughout the season regardless of subsequent increases in your rating. Board order will be based on player ratings on the day of the event.
Due to the low number of teams entering the competitions this season, only one match will be played for each team.
