IMPORTANT NOTICE

Players must have an established Standard time control grade/rating on one of the League approved servers (FICS or ICC). OCL players are required to have a minimum of 10 Standard time control rated games established on FICS or ICC, before they will be allowed to participate. You will not be eligible to play until you do so. It doesn't take long. Play a few 15-0 games, there will be plenty of players willing to play. If you have an established FIDE Rating and a FIDE Title (GM, IM, FM) then you are exempt from having to establish your grade.

This does not mean you can't play on ICC, if you prefer to play on ICC then this can be accomodated. All we ask that every player has an FICS account as choice of server in any game is given to Black. There is a special OCL account on ICC to enable FICS players to play on ICC if Black insists on playing at ICC.
