2008 National Inter-Cities and Municipalities Chess Team Championship

The 2008 National Inter-Cities and Municipalities Chess Team Championship has been taking place in Bacolod City since October 6 and will end in October 12.

A total of 22 cities and municipalities are taking part in this tournament which allows only one titled player per team.

I checked the NCFP website for updates but unfortunately, the site is down. Hopefully, NCFP is restructuring its site to make it more relevant to the chess community.

In the absence of an official website for this event, the local chess community can't help depending on the main stream media for fresh updates.

Standings after three rounds (as of Wednesday):

6 points – Cebu City
5 points – Tagaytay, Quezon City, Talisay, Mandaluyong
4 points – South Cotabato, MIsamis Oriental, Bacolod-A, Muntinlupa
3 points – Bacolod-B, Bayawan, Binalonan
2 points – Calamba-A, Taguig, Magalona, Capiz, Bais, Maritima, Bohol

It's really annoying when there's no official website for a national chess tournament like this one.
