UNITED STATES CHESS LEAGUE - August 28 - November 22, 2006

Aloha Hawaii Chess Players,

We do not have a Hawaii team, but in the future maybe we will have enough players that qualify, currently the USCL is adding two teams per year, last they started with 8, and this year they have 10. See last year's requirements for forming and getting approved to have a USCL team.

USCL 2006 Schedule is set! The Seattle Sluggers and Tennessee Tempo will kick off the season on Monday August 28th, while the rest of the league will start play on Wednesday August 30th. Once again there is a 10 week regular season, followed by playoffs, with an extra WildCard Round this season. Stay tuned all season for 4 great matches every Wednesday evening and new special feature matches every Monday.Below is the schedule for the first week of play: Click here to see the rest of the schedule or just keep reading!
