Welcome to the 2026 season of the WCL from me, @munrobagger your Division 4 Leagues Tournament Director (TD).

The First Round starts on November 5th,with an Announcement of pairings on October 22nd—a few ‘Housekeeping’ Admin matters.

For those Admins that are new to WCL, the Announcement will list the pairings for the First Round of Matches with instructions on the issuing of match challenges. Please issue and accept challenges without delay, checking that match parameters and the start time are set correctly.

It’s helpful for the TD to copy and post an issued challenge to the Forum thread.

Please familiarise yourselves with the WCL rules in full, which are available here: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/wcl-2026-rules

Please note that:

A player may only play for one team in a season.

We have further clarified this rule. Each player is assigned a home team. This is the first team a player joins in a season. All games for this team are regular. If a player joins and plays for another team, these games are considered irregular multi-team games and are counted as lost.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me through a post in this thread if you have any questions.

Good luck with the season ahead. Play well.

Hello! I think I blocked the registration to my club in the match by mistake. How can I fix that?

You've had a second player register today, and I can't see any issue with the match parameters. Why do you think registration is blocked?
