It is a FIDE requirement that "to be included in the FRL or
FIDE Rapidplay Rating list, a player must be a member of a national chess
federation which is a member of FIDE" (FIDE Handbook B.02, paragraph
16.1). The ECF will only submit a game for FIDE rating if both
players of the game are members of a national federation. It is essential
that to enter FIDE rated events membership of the ECF is necessary for FIDE
rating purposes. It is very important to note that since ECF became a company
limited by guarantee as well as completing the membership subscription form
and paying the appropriate subscription fee all players will also need to
complete and sign the ECF membership application form. Both the membership
subscription form and the membership application form can be found by clicking
on the "ECF membership application forms" link near the top left
hand side of the ECF website www.englishchess.org.uk.
The ECF application form need only be completed once for the lifetime of
your membership and not annually as with the subscription form (clearly,
this will not be required where players are already members of other national
federations).
Please note that only original signatures may be accepted not fax or e-mail this is a legal requirement.
