Divisions

The Polish team championship is divided into three divisions, namely the Ekstraliga , the I league and the II league. Game operations below the II division are the responsibility of the voivodships. The Ekstraliga and Iliga play a simple round-robin tournament with 10 teams each , in the IIliga nine rounds are played in the Swiss system with between 30 and 40 teams .

Regulations

The Polish team championship is generally played with teams of six, with the use of a woman on the sixth board. 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 loss), 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).

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.

The last two of the Ekstraliga relegate to the I-league and are replaced by the first two of the I-league. The last three of the I league are relegated to the II league and are replaced by the top three in the II league. Teams that rank worse than 24th in the II league are relegated to the regional game and are replaced by promoted members of the regional associations.

history

The beginnings

The Polish team championship was first held in 1929. Eligible were selected teams from the cities and voivodeships that played the title in a simple round-robin tournament with teams of six. These regulations were also in effect for the next events in 1934, 1946, 1947 and 1948.

1949 to 1969

From 1949 the competition was held with club teams. At that time, the tournament consisted of regional preliminary rounds and a final round, with the best-placed finals qualifying directly for the next final round from 1955. The team strength was increased to 8 for the 1950/51 season, with a youngster on the seventh board and a woman on the eighth board. In 1954 the team strength was increased to 10 and in 1956 it was reduced to 7, from 1959 it was again 8.

1970 to 2001

In 1970 a league operation with promotion and relegation was introduced, the top division of which was the I league with 12 teams. At the same time, the mandatory youth board was abolished in 1970, instead the Polish youth team championship was introduced, and the teams in the I league received point credits depending on the results of their youth team. The II league was played in two regional relays (north and south), initially with 8 teams each, from 1972 with 10 teams each and from 1978 with 12 teams each. The last two of the I league were relegated to the II league and were replaced by the winners of the two regional seasons (north and south) of the II league. The team strength was reduced to 6 in 1972 in the I division, in 1973 or 1974 in the II division. For economic reasons, the Polish team championship in 1990 and 1991 could not be played in the league system; instead, the teams that were represented in the I and II leagues in 1989 played a tournament in the Swiss system. From 1991 point credits were no longer awarded from the youth team championship. The I league returned to the old mode in 1992, and in 2001 the number of teams was reduced to 10. The II league played a simple round-robin tournament in two regional groups in 1992, a joint Swiss system tournament with 25 to 30 teams from 1993 to 1997, and from 1998 in two regional groups in the Swiss system.

Since 2002

Since 2002 the Polish team championship has been divided into the Ekstraliga and the I league, both with 10 teams, as well as the II league.
