League Rules:

Format: We will start with a random amount of teams or players (how many ever signs up) and eventually, teams will get eliminated, until the finals. There will be a division of teams as well as a division of players.

Forming teams: There are 4 players in each team. You can also have any substitute, who will play if you aren’t available. The sub can only be for one board, but can sub for up to 3 teams. Each team is expected to have an average blitz peak rating of 1600 or less. If you have any subs they won't count but have to be lower than the player they are subbing. Your peak is based on the last 12 months, so go to your blitz stats and select last year and hover to find your last year’s peak. You form a team on your own but if you don't have any then you can ask cman8 or sapphireglacier and he will try to find a team for you, and after you've formed your team you tell

sapphireglacier or cdzim or cman8.

Captain: The captain will have to create a team of 5 players. They have to recruit them in teams seeking threads or private messages or notes or somewhere else. By a certain date cman8 are sapphireglacier will mention later, they must submit their full roster, including subs. The captain must create a team name as well, and a logo. The logo size doesn’t matter, but make sure to submit it! Cman8 will edit the size so it fits.

If a player fails to arrive: If one of your players fails to arrive then their sub will play for them. If they have no sub, and they don’t play in time, then their opponent gets a forfeit win.

Posting your results: When you post your results please give us some sort of evidence that that is the result such as posting a link, both players saying that, a picture of the games, or the negotiation threads, also give us both of the players and both of the teams.

If the game doesn't happen: If a game doesn’t happen by the expected time we will look at the negotiation thread and see who actually wanted to play. The person who did post it will get a forfeit win, and the person who didn’t post it will get a forfeit loss. If both players were absent, the match would be counted as a forfeit draw. Please try to show up though, your team needs you!

Time controls and scoring: There are 2 games of 5+0 and 2 games of 10+2 for the individual division, one as white and one as black for each player. There will be 1 point for a win, 0.5 points for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. We will add the scores together, so for example, if cman8 won 1 game with sapphireglacier and drew one, then the score would be 1.5-0.5. The score of all 5 members is added up, so if 3 players in the team scored 2 and 1 player scored 3 and two scored 3.5, the team score would be 16. Then we compare it with the other team’s score, and if one’s score is larger, they get a team point. If both teams’ scores are the same, they get a team draw. The team division is the same with scoring, except there will be live and/or daily club matches. The clubs division is expected to take a lot longer.
