Season 4 – Feb to April 2022

The most recent Nations League Season 4 ran from February to April 2022 with have weekly matches on 6 Sundays from February to April. The England team took part with a team from the ECF Members club as with previous seasons. There was a single premier division in the Nations league as below with a minimum of 10 boards for Rapid and Blitz:

Each match consisted of a rapid and blitz segment as follow:

Rapid 15min+2 sec

 Blitz 3 min+2sec

Each segment consisted 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
