2015 GTCL Cup – June 8 Toronto Rapid Team Chess Championship The GTCL Cup is Toronto’s Annual Rapid Team Chess Championship, welcoming teams in two categories:  Championship Teams Each chess club in Toronto is invited to enter one or more club team in the championship. Team registration is open to any four players (plus one alternate, optionally) who represent the club. There is no rating cap in the Championship category. The winning team will win the 2014 GTCL Cup for their club, and players will receive trophies from the GTCL.  U1800 Teams This category is open to any four players (plus one alternate) who want to play together on a team, subject to a rating cap: the average rating of the top four players must be under 1800.
