The club must notify the Club Competition Coordinator of any additions to the club roster, with the new player inserted into the appropriate seeding slot, before the player takes part in any matches. If a player takes part in a match before the league has approved the transfer, the game(s) of that player shall be considered forfeited.

10. Each club can have multiple teams in the league. Where a club has entered multiple teams, the three highest rated players can only play on the first team, the 4-7 rated players can only play on the first or second tams, the 8-11 rated players can only play on the first through third teams, etc.

Matches

12. All games will be played under CFC rules.

If a team has not appeared by the scheduled match start time, the clocks can be started. If equipment is not available for a game(s) at the start of a match, the side responsible for providing the equipment will have the elapsed time deducted from the appropriate game(s).

15. The home team is responsible for providing all equipment (boards, pieces, digital clocks and scoresheets). Where equipment is not sufficiently provided within 30 minutes of the scheduled match start, the home team shall be forfeited in that game, unless the visiting team was notified that equipment was needed for the game, in which case the visiting team shall be forfeited.

16. Any forfeits, whether due to insufficient equipment, a lack of players, or any other reason, shall start from the lowest board, proceeding on to the next lowest, etc.

17. All games must be concluded in a single evening of play. Where exceptional circumstances occur requiring a match to be abandoned, any games not yet completed shall be replayed in their entirety at a later date.

18. By default, the players shall be assigned a board according to their rating, with the highest rated on the top board and the lowest rated on the bottom board. The team captain may then move his players one board in either direction, if so desired (e.g., the second-highest rated player can play on boards one through three, but not on board four).

19. If a postponement is required in advance, the team captain requiring the postponement must contact the opposing team captain with his request no later than 48 hours before the match is scheduled to start, unless the postponement is required due to bad weather, in which case the notice period is three hours.

Both captains should notify the Club Competition Coordinator of the rescheduled date.

20. All game results will be submitted to the CFC for rating purposes at the end of the season.

If no suitable alternate is available, the game is forfeited. If both teams require an alternate for the same game, each player shall have 15 minutes subtracted from his clock (i.e., the effective time control will be G/45 min. + 30 sec. per move for both players).

26. A match win shall be worth two points, a draw worth one point and a loss worth zero points.

27. The league champions will be the team in the top division with the most points at the end of the season. In the event of a tie, the game results for the season shall be used. If there is still a tie, the head-to-head result(s) shall be considered, first based on match results and then on game scores. If there is still a tie, the lowest board(s) shall be removed from the head-to-head match(es) and the results shall be recalculated. If this does not break the tie, the next lowest board(s) shall be removed, etc. In the unlikely event that the tie cannot be broken in this manner, a head-to-head match shall be played to determine the champion.

36. The cup winner shall be the team that wins in the final match of the competition.

Procedural Notes

Player Ratings

The players have been rated according to a download of the rating list from the CFC website on Oct. 1. If a new player to be added is not on this list, the rating used will be the player's current rating on the CFC website. Unrated players should have an estimated rating assigned by the team captain.

Adding a Player to the List of Eligible Players

If a club wishes to add a new player to its list of eligible players, the player's name and, ideally, CFC number should be sent to the Club Competition Coordinator. This should be done a minimum of 48 weekday hrs (i.e., do not include weekend hrs in this total) prior to the player's participation in a match to ensure enough time to verify the player's eligibility. Verification of eligibility will become effective once an e-mail or telephone contact has been made with the requesting club. Players are not eligible to participate in the club competition until this confirmation has been received by the requesting club - do not assume that a player is eligible just because the request was made. Forfeited games due to an ineligible player will not be rated, unless the ineligible player loses the game.

Notification of Request to Delay a Match

If a match must be delayed, contact should be made with the opposing team captain to request a delay. Regardless of whether this contact has been made, the Club Competition Coordinator should also be notified of the request. In the event of any dispute over whether the request was sent prior to the notification times outlined in rule 19, the time that the Club Competition Coordinator was notified of the request shall be used as the official request time. No team captain is obliged to accept a request for a delay, even if the request is made in advance of the required notification period.

If a match delay is agreed, both team captains should notify the Club Competition Coordinator of the rescheduled match date.

Notification of Equipment Shortage

If the home team cannot supply enough equipment for a match and notifies the visiting team that some equipment is required, the request and the agreement reached between the team captains should also be sent to the Club Competition Coordinator.

Forfeiting a Match

If a team must forfeit a match, the score will be taken as a 4-0 defeat for the forfeiting team. The following season, this match will automatically be considered an away fixture for the forfeiting team.

Notification of Match Result

Both team captains should notify the Club Competition Coordinator of the result of a match no later than 72 hours after the commencement of the match. The results should be reported for each game, with a total match score also reported.
