Coulsdon Chess Super League - Long Play
Season 2025-26
Important Rules-
* Your team line-ups need to be emailed to Coulsdon Chess by 9am on the Friday immediately preceding the match – as long as players have not used up their 3 lives, players can be changed after that but individually will be penalised under the “failed to give Coulsdon Chess due notice not to arrange a game” rule (please remind your players that telling you as the captain is not enough if you are not available) – if Coulsdon Chess does not see players named in the teams at 9am Friday, he will look to arrange other individual tournament games for them).
* Board orders must be made using the very latest FIDE ratings for the month of the game.
* Squad size is limited to 5 (for 1 team) and 10 (for 2 teams) – you can only sign new players if you have too many players registered with the Coulsdon Chess office as unavailable – thus it is vital for captains that they ensure their players have advised Coulsdon Chess (as well as them) if they are unavailable.

This season we have split into two divisions.
The Premiership will be on an all-play-all format for the first 5 rounds and then it will be played with reverse colours on a Swiss Basis.
The Championship will be a complete all-play-all format.
Your team’s board results will be shown first. If Team A wins 4-0 against Team B it will be shown as 4-0 for Team A and 0-4 for Team B.
