Squads are managed online. You don't enter players here. Once your entry is in, each captain receives a private link to add and edit their squad — including the Rounds 3–4 transfer window.

I understand and consent to the team captain's name, email and phone number being published on the Captains' page for the purpose of arranging fixtures. *

Squad & rating rules (sections 10 & 11)

Single-league squads: max 15 (WCPL) or 10 (U1850).
Entering both: separate squads (15 / 10) or one combined squad (max 20), playable in either team subject to the U1850 rating limit. With a combined squad, defaults occur in the U1850 team first.
One transfer window between Rounds 3 and 4: squads may rise to 17 (WCPL) / 12 (U1850) / 22 (combined). Only players who have not played in the WCPL this season may join or transfer.
Board order is by rating (latest FIDE, then WCU, then National, then a nominated rating). A player may play above a higher-rated player if the gap is ≤ 100 ELO on the same rating system; FIDE takes precedence.
All players must be registered with FIDE before their first match; clearance is given by the WCPL Controller.
