Please follow the links below to view the pairings, results and standings on the ECF LMS (English Chess Federation, League Management System). Note that the LMS was designed as a league management system, hence the "match" links. It was modified to support individual swiss events, at least from the point of view of submitting results for ECF rating, but it can't generate the swiss pairings. So we use SwissSystem to generate the pairings and the ECF LMS to submit the results for ECF rating. The results and standings can be viewed on either.

The weekly Iceni Monday Blitz has been struggling for numbers recently so we are proposing to replace it with a team event to add new interest. This event is a Team Battle, a blitz tournament for teams, and the first battle will take place on Monday 19th July, 7.30 pm (in place of the Iceni Monday Blitz). This is a bit of a leap into the unknown because the event uses Lichess rather than Chess.com, and an Arena format rather than a Swiss. If you need to know more about Lichess, the Arena format and how Team Battles work please see the FAQs. They were written for team leaders but will give you the idea, see https://lichess.org/forum/team-iceni-live-league/iceni-live-league-team-battle-faqs If you don't have a team to play for you can play for the Iceni Live League team.

For this third season of the Iceni Live League we have 26 teams across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire organised in 3 divisions.

SCHEDULE OF ROUNDS In special circumstances, such as half term or clashes with other events, individual fixtures can be moved to the week before or after the scheduled week. For this spring/summer season 7 rounds have been scheduled fortnightly. School Calendar Round 5 Apr Easter 12 Apr 19 Apr 1 26 Apr 3 May Bank Holiday 2 10 May 17 May 3 24 May 31 May Bank Holiday School Half Term 4 7 Jun 14 Jun 5 21 Jun 28 Jun 6 5 Jul 12 Jul 7 19 Jul School Summer Holiday TIME CONTROL Each player in a match plays one game as White and one game as Black, with a time control of 15 minutes with a 10 second increment. DIVISIONS As far as is possible the teams will be arranged in divisions of 8, each team playing every other team once, giving 7 matches for the 7 scheduled rounds. If there are more than 8 teams in a division then the fixtures will be generated as a ranked swiss rather than all-play-all. With the exception of Division 1 a rating restriction will apply to each division reflecting the estimated strength of the teams in that division. For Season 3 with 3 divisions the rating restrictions will be Open, Under 1650 and Under 1350. The rating restriction will apply to the average chess.com rapid rating of the players representing the team on the day of the match. However, the team captains may by mutual agreement relax the rating restrictions to allow larger matches to take place or accommodate unusual circumstance TEAM COMPOSITION Each team must have a captain to manage the team's fixtures and report match results. The captain may be non-playing. 4 players minimum, no maximum. Unless otherwise agreed with the administrator players should be members or past members dating back 10 years of that club, or live within 10 miles of the club. Clubs may enter more than one team, but not more than one team in the same division. A player may play for more than one club if each of the clubs concerned is in a different division. A player may play for any or all of the teams entered by the same club if the grading restrictions applying to the lower divisions are not broken. In other words, guesting is allowed for teams of the same club, but a team playing in the lower divisions with guest players must still fit the grading restrictions. All juniors should be of high school age to use Chess.com or be registered to play with supervision of team captains with parental permission. SCHEDULING OF MATCHES Each team should specify a home match night when their home matches will be played by default. The fixtures will be scheduled accordingly. Each team should also specify the number of players they will have available for each match by default. With these pre-arrangements in place there is no need for the captains to arrange the date and number of players before each match unless these need to change for any reason. Matches should start at 7.30 pm. PLAYING OF MATCHES As far as is practical the players should assemble at least 10 minutes before the match is due to start to allow time for team adjustments if necessary. The home team captain enters the match result into SwissSystem and the away team captain verifies. ARBITRATION The Iceni Live League is constituted as a friendly league. There is an assumption of innocence, that issues will only arise by accident not design. We therefore ask that issues are addressed amicably by the team captains and there is no recourse to a League arbiter. There is however a captains forum where issues can be discussed.
