The idea of the Friendly Development League is to introduce new players to competitive chess, to get ratings, and to have evenly matched players.
- Before the matches, teams captains should tell each other what the strength of their team is in an effort to match players of similar strengths.
- The number of boards shall be 3 - with the option to play more if both captains agree.
- The time limit shall be 1 hour for all moves. Captains can agree to play an increment as long as each player gets at least an hour to quality for standard play rating.
