I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this, but I have a few more questions. Where can I find the list of rules for playing on this site? (not to use chess engines ect). Also, how to I navigate to the world chess league forums, and information page from the main forums menu?

Thanks, Jake.

There's also a summary table in this other thread (see post 6) ...

World League is not a competition SYSTEM organized by chess.com. World League is organized by a member or few members on chess.com. [wrote CaptainJoe]

This discussion (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/new-group-team-canada-teams-for-each-country-discuss) provides the background.

The rules are listed here (http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-buzz/the-world-league)

 Normal members CANNOT join the group, (http://www.chess.com/groups/home/world-league-headquarters) but they can look at the forums. I just wanted to show that, indeed, this project is still moving along. [wrote Masterful_Forfeit]
