Before each match captains should
-select players and indicate the board number in the Team > League (or Junior) page for each Team using the Players link. Choose the Edit link above the round.
-After Updating the round, the captain generates and prints a team sheet to give to the opposing team captain, from the Scorecard link on the Edit Round page. Shortly before the match begins, when all our players have arrived or confirmed arrival, the captain gives a copy of this to the opposing captain, and asks them to fill in their team's details on our sheet.
-Afterwards they can enter scores using the Edit link above a round.

After each match captains should go to the chessleague.net site, log in and Update Results using the link. They could also write a short News article (two sentences) to let members know results are updated.

When selecting players captains should consider a player's strength (based on SCC and ICU ratings), availability and reliability record including lateness. Where promotion or relegation are not at stake captains may decide to share out places as a proportion of a player's availability, regardless of strength, so that we give as many players as possible the experience of playing for a team.
