There are two significant changes from the 5th season.
- Guaranteed time of 3 days per move will be utilised. (In simple terms this means that a player cannot be “timed out” as long as they make a move every 3 days)
- Only 1 player in the team is required to be British registered (Welsh, Scottish or English)
We will be operating a Player-Team matching service, so any team looking for player or players look for a team should contact make contact on the address above.
