RULES for LEAGUE COMPETITIONS
  
1.            DURATION of SEASON
               League competitions comprising one or more divisions shall be held in each season. For this and other
               purposes "a season" is defined as the period commencing on SEPTEMBER 1st in one year and
               terminating on APRIL 30th in the following year.

 2.            CONSTITUTION OF DIVISIONS and  MATCH FIXTURES
2.1          There shall be no more than thirteen teams in each section of the lowest Division.
               All Divisions above shall have ten teams.
2.2          New teams shall enter the lowest Division.
2.3          Each team within a Division shall play one match with each of the other teams therein during the
                playing season. However if a Division contains less than eight teams, then each team shall play two
                matches with each of the other teams.
2.4          When a club has more than one team in the same Division, the teams shall play each other at the start of
                the Season. If such matches have not been played by the third match and neither team has claimed a
               default, then it shall be deemed to be a double default.
2.5          When a club has more than one team, then they shall be called (in order of overall playing strength and
               division they play in) A, B, C etc
  
3             SCORING
3.1          The individual games of a match shall be scored: one game point for a game won, half a game point for
                a game drawn, no game points for a game lost.
3.2          Based upon the aggregate of individual game points gained by each team, the results of a match shall be
                scored: two points for a match won, one point for a match drawn, no points for a match lost.

4             GAMES LOST BY DEFAULT
4.1          One match point shall be deducted from a team’s score at the end of the Season for every four games
               lost by default.
4.2          If two or more players of a team are prevented from attending a match by some unforeseeable event, the
               Management Committee may, at its discretion, rule that the defaults so incurred shall be excluded from
               the total for the purpose of this clause.
4.3          No dispensation shall be permitted under Rule 4.2 unless the team captain (or Club Secretary):
               (a) notifies the opposing team captain (or Club Secretary) and League Controller as soon as practically
                possible, and, (b) submits a written claim to the League Controller within 7 days of the match, who will
               then forward the claim to the Management Committee.    
  
5.            TEAM WITHDRAWALS
               The following action shall be taken if a team withdraws from a division during a Season:
               The match results shall be cancelled if less than 50% matches played, but the match results shall stand if
               50% or more of matches played.  Un-played matches to be scored as wins for the opposing teams.

6             PROMOTION, RELEGATION and DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS
6.1          The Divisions of the League shall function on the following basis:
               (a)          The two teams in all divisions, except the first division, securing the greatest number of match
                              points shall be promoted to the next higher division.
               (b)          If, after promotion, the number of teams in division 1 should exceed the specified strength then
                              the extra team(s) with the smallest number of match points shall be relegated to division 2.
                              Should this relegation, in turn, cause the number of teams in division 2 to exceed  the specified
                             strength  then the extra team or teams with the smallest number of match points shall be
                              relegated to division 3 and so on throughout all the divisions except the lowest division.
               (c)          If, during the application of the relegation process, a division is found to be under-strength,
                               then the leading placed teams in the next lower division shall fill the vacancy or vacancies.
               (d)          When the lowest division is divided into two or more sections, the Management Committee
                               may arrange play-off matches to decide the promotion issue.  Occasionally, to accommodate
                              variations in the number of registered teams the number of divisions may be altered.
                               If the number of teams in the lowest division exceeds 26 then an extra division may be
                                created.  If the number of teams in the lowest division is less than 7 then the lowest division
                               will be combined with the next lowest division, which may then be divided into sections
.
6.2          If two or more teams concerned in promotion, relegation or division championships are equal in match
               points, then the issue shall be resolved by applying the following rules (in this order):
               (a)          The teams shall be placed in order of the total games-for points scored.
               (b)          If the issue remains un-resolved, then those teams that are tied on total games-for points after
                             applying rule (a) shall be placed in order of the match points scored between the  teams.
               (c)          Should the issue still remain undecided then a match or a series of matches between the teams
                              that are tied shall resolve the matter. These matches are to be played on dates and at venues
                               arranged by the Management Committee.
               (d)          If any match played under rule (c) is drawn, then the result shall be decided as follows, the
                               score at each board in the match shall be cancelled board by board, beginning at the bottom
                               board, until one team has a majority of games-for points.

 6.3          Other than when it would result in a club having more than two teams in one division, promotion will
                normally be obligatory. However in exceptional circumstances, the Management Committee may use
                discretionary powers in favour of any club applying to forego elevation to a higher division. Should a
                club, following relegation, have more than two teams in one division, the club may opt to have its junior
                team relegated to the next lowest division.
 
6.4          A team in any division, except the lowest division, defaulting two or more matches during the season
                shall be relegated to the next lower division unless a satisfactory explanation is given to the
                Management Committee within 21 days of the scheduled match. Similarly, teams in the lowest division
                defaulting two or more matches during the season without satisfactory explanation shall be ineligible
                for promotion.

7             CONSTITUTION OF TEAMS
7.1          Teams in the first Division will consist of 8 players.
7.2          Teams in the second Division will consist of 6 players. 
7.3          Teams in any remaining divisions will consist of 4 players.

8             PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
8.1          No player shall be eligible to play for more than one club, or for more than one team in the same
                division, during the season.
8.2          A player may play a total of three times in divisions higher than the lowest in which they have played.
                A player is not tied to the division in which they first play.
8.3          Any dispute as to the eligibility of a player shall be referred to the Management Committee whose
                decision shall be final.

 
9.            REGISTRATION OF PLAYERS
9.1          When match results are submitted, team captains must provide the full name (and DoB if aged under
                21) of any of their players who are not listed in the current CS grading list.  If available, the player’s
                FIDE, ECF etc. grade must be provided.  For players returning to chess, the player’s most recent grade
                and club (with dates) must be provided.
9.2          Failure to provide these details will be treated as a failure to submit the match results.
  
10.          PENALTIES
10.1       Any blatant infringement of  Rules 8 and/or 9 shall be considered by the Management Committee and
                may incur penalties as far as the loss of two match points.

12.2       The FIDE Laws of Chess shall apply, except where superseded by special rules of play described herein. 
12.3       The following provision shall apply in all Glasgow Chess League team matches:
               If a player’s mobile phone rings in the playing venue during his/her game, then his/her opponent shall
                be awarded an extra two minutes thinking time.  If the same player’s phone rings again in the playing
               venue during the same game, that player will then lose the game.

QUICK-PLAY RULES
1.            A game with a quick-play finish is NOT the same as a Blitz or Rapid-play game, and certain rules are
                designed to prevent a player from winning on time when the position on the board does not justify it.
2.            A 'quickplay finish' is the last phase of a game, when all the remaining moves must be made in a limited   time.
3.            A player may claim a draw when he has less than two minutes left on his clock and before his flag falls.
               This concludes the game.                 He may claim on the basis;
                              (a)          that his opponent cannot win by normal means, or 
                              (b)          that his opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means.
               In (a) the player must write down the final position and his opponent verify it.
               In (b) the player must write down the final position and submit an up-to-date scoresheet
               which must be completed before play has ceased. The opponent shall verify both the
               scoresheet and the final position.
4.            The team captains shall attempt to agree the outcome of the game. 
               Failing agreement, the claim shall be referred, by both clubs, to the Management Committee (via the
               Division Controller)  whose decision shall be final (see “Disputes Procedures”).
               In addition to the usual details, the following information must be provided:
               (a) clock times, and, (b) whether White or Black has the move.
5             If both flags have fallen and it is impossible to establish which flag fell first the game is drawn.

RAPID-PLAY RULES
B1.         A 'Rapid-Play game' is one where all the moves must be made in a fixed time of between 15 to 60
                minutes for each player.
B2.         The FIDE Laws of Chess (for normal chess) shall govern play, except where they are over-ridden by
                the following FIDE Laws for Rapid-play games and any local rules enacted by the League.
B3.         Players do not need to record the moves. 
B4.         Once each player has made three moves, no claim can be made regarding incorrect piece placement,
               orientation of the chessboard or clock setting.
                In case of reverse king and queen placement, castling with this king is not allowed.
B5.         The arbiter shall make a ruling according to FIDE Article 4 (The Act of Moving Pieces) only if
                requested to do so by one or both players. 
B6.         The flag is considered to have fallen when a valid claim to that effect has been made by a player.
               The arbiter shall refrain from signalling a flag fall. 
B7.         To claim a win on time, the claimant must stop both clocks and notify the arbiter.
               For the claim to be successful, the claimant's flag must remain up and his opponent's flag down after the
              clocks have been stopped.

                same opponent with colours reversed. The time control will be (15/30) minutes per player for all moves.
                The numbers are based on a Ten-team division, but this time control may increase if numbers are less.
6.            Scoring will be fully on game points not match points. A won game will score 1 point; a drawn game will
                score half a point and a loss: zero points.
7.            Any disputes arising shall be settled by the organisers (or their representatives) whose decision is final.
               Teams are expected to compete in a spirit of fair play and cooperation.
8.            Cost per team shall be that of the lowest division, plus a deposit - both to be determined by the Glasgow 
               Chess League at the AGM.
9.            Teams defaulting a match without giving reasonable explanation lose their deposit.
10.          Teams defaulting on more than one evening or withdrawing from the Rapid-play League, without giving
                reasonable explanation, shall be restricted to the number of teams competing in the league, for the
               following two seasons.
