Meeting Times & Locations

  • We gather weekly on campus in designated common areas to play, chat and challenge each other.
  • Since we're running a league, fixtures (match schedules) will be posted weekly so everyone knows who they're facing next.
  • Players are responsible for coordinating with their opponents to find a convenient time and place on campus to play their league matches.

Communication Channels

  • Slack is our main communication channel.
  • Join the #chess-league channel for all announcements, scheduling and discussions.
  • Don't miss out!

League Format

  • All players participate in a single, open league to ensure inclusivity and simplicity.
  • Each player will compete against every other participant during the semester.
  • Depending on the total number of participants, the number of matches may be adjusted to maintain a balanced and manageable schedule.

Match Format

  • Matches are played using the standard time controls (see Time Controls).
  • Players are responsible for coordinating and completing their matches within the designated time frame.

Scoring System

  • Win: 1 point
  • Draw: 0.5 points
  • Loss: 0 points

Time Controls

  • Matches use a 10-minute per player time control.
  • Chess clocks are mandatory for all official league games to ensure fair and timely play.

Conduct During Matches

  • Any disputes during a match should first be discussed calmly between the players.
  • Cheating or unsportsmanlike conduct will result in immediate disqualification.

The CODE Chess Club runs a semester-long league where every player faces off against others in their division. Each semester, the league resets — giving everyone a fresh chance to climb the ranks and prove their chess prowess. Matches are scheduled weekly, with fixture lists posted in advance. Players arrange their matches during the week to keep the league moving smoothly.
