The Top 12 2014/15 was the 13th French team championship in women's chess .

Champion was the Club de Bischwiller , while the defending champion Club d'Echecs d'Annemasse retired before the season. Of goods last year from the National I Club de Clichy-Echecs-92 , the Club de Esbarres Bonnencontre Echecs , the Club de Echiquier Nîmois and the Club de Echiquier Tourangeau ascended. Clichy was the only newcomer to stay in the league, while Bonnencontre, Nîmes and Tourangeau, together with Cercle d'Echecs de Strasbourg and the Club de L'Echiquier Naujacais, went straight down again. The class was exceptionally increased from 12 to 14 teams, but due to the withdrawal of the defending champion Annemasse, the competition was only played with 13 teams.

Game dates

The preliminary round took place from May 7th to 10th 2015 in Montpellier , the final round on June 27th and 28th in Lyon .

mode

The 13 participating clubs played a simple round-robin tournament in two preliminary round groups (Groupe A with seven, Groupe B with six teams). The number of team points (3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for a defeat, 0 points for a defeat without a fight) first decided on the placement, then the direct comparison, then the difference between winning and losing games and ultimately the number of winning games. The last three of Groupe A and the last two Groupe B were relegated to National I, while the first two qualified for the final round. This was carried out in the knockout system , with third place also being played out.
