FIDE Rapid Laws (pdf) | Controller’s Guidelines
New provisions for 2019: Rule changes have been approved for application to the 2019 competition. Entries must now be accompanied by a list from each Club of the players who are expected to appear for the Club in the competition (Player Registrations). Additionally, Clubs entering more than one team must list their Registrations in order of playing strength, with the srongest players in the A team, the next strongest in the B team, etc., a minimum of five names to be nominated for each team but the lowest. The term “bona fide member” is now defined in the Rules. Apart from the above, two other matters are now codified in the Rules, which were previously covered in “Contoller’s Guidelines”, namely provisions required if a Plate competition is run (seeded teams) and the option for use of an incremental rate of play. See the new Rules via the link below.
Clubs have been circulated.
