Nations League Season 4
Season 4 of the chess.com Nations League starts on Sunday 13th Feb. The Nations League will have weekly matches on 6 Sundays – February 13, February 20, February 27, March 13, March 20, March 27, 2022. Sunday, March 6 is reserved as a break week with no scheduled matches (can be used to make up missed matches). England will take part with a team from the ECF Members club as with previous seasons. There is a single premier division in the Nations league as below with a minimum of 10 boards for Rapid and Blitz/
Each match consists of a rapid and blitz segment as follow:
Rapid 15min+2 sec
Blitz 3 min+2sec
Each segment consists of two games against the opposing board.
Each segment is weighted equally – if a team wins both segments, they earn a full match point, if one team wins the rapid and the other team wins the blitz, it is a tied match. In case one segment is tied, the team that wins the other segment will receive the full match point. Game points are not relevant in determining the winner of the match, only the result of each segment (win, loss, draw).
Entry will be open to all members of the ECF members team on chess.com – https://www.chess.com/club/english-chess-federation-members
