Rules

  1. Don’t be an asshole. This is supposed to be fun.
  2. Games operate under the touch-move rule. This means that any piece that is touched must be moved, unless the move would be illegal. If you touch an opponent’s piece before touching your own, you must capture that piece, unless doing so would be illegal.
  3. If an illegal move is made, the clock should be paused and two minutes will be added to the opposing player’s clock. If the same player makes a second illegal move in the same game, that player forfeits the game.
  4. Games that do not use a clock, or are not played at 15+10 time control, will not be counted as played league matches.
  5. Both players must agree on the board, pieces, and clock being used before the game begins.
  6. Both players are responsible for making sure the correct result has been recorded.
  7. If a player officially withdraws from the league, all of their results will be removed. Points won against that player will also be removed from the official standings.
  8. Don’t be an asshole.
