Cup and Plate competitions – 2005–06 season

These competitions are run in two phases: two jamboree-style rapidplay evenings in which each player plays two games, followed by semi-finals and finals played at normal time limits. In each competition, the top four teams from the rapidplay phase qualify for the semi-finals.

The Cup is for stronger teams; the Plate is for less strong sides.

West Nottingham B won the Plate. Congratulations to everyone who played!
