The Ekstraliga is the top division in Polish team chess .
This consists of ten teams. The game is played on six boards, with the use of a woman on the sixth board.
Organizational form
The ten participating teams play a simple round-robin tournament , the final placement is determined first by the number of team points (two points for a win, one point for a draw, no point for a defeat), then the number of board points (one point for a winning game, half a point for a draw game, no point for a losing game). The last two are relegated to the I league and will be replaced by the first two placed in the I league. A team may use a maximum of one foreigner per competition.
The cooling-off time is 90 minutes for the first 40 moves and 30 minutes until the end of the game; From the first move on, each player also receives a time credit of 30 seconds per move until the end of the game.
