The NCS inter-club league recently completed its spring/summer season. Eight teams from DC, Maryland and Virginia competed in a division for players ranked up to 5.0, while six teams participated in the 4.0 grouping. More than 135 players participated in more than 100 matches during the season.

The B team from perennial contender Regency (McLean OneLife) took the title in the 5.0 division, winning in the final over its intra-club rival Regency A.

Bethesda won the 4.0 championship for the first time since 2019.

After a short break, the fall/winter season will kick off in October and run through March 2025. We are speaking with some clubs interested in rejoining both existing divisions, and are exploring adding a pilot division with a few teams to start for players with rankings up to 3.0 to get newer players involved in competitive matches.
