The following are the rules regarding declared players.
6.5
When a player who has not already been declared on a team plays his first game of the season, he must be declared for the team for whom he plays his first game or a team in a lower division. Such declaration must be made by completing the online ‘Player Declaration’ form. Failure to nominate a player as a substitute and declare them on a team in a lower division will result in the player being automatically declared for the team for whom he plays his first game.
Players may be entered on the form in any order. The position of players on the list does not have to reflect the board order they play on their teams.
When declaring players you must enter their First Name, Last Name and ICU Code. If the player is not yet registered with the ICU then enter 0 (zero) for the ICU Code. If a player has no ICU code but is registered with FIDE, enter their FIDE Code. Players with no ICU or FIDE code should have their rating estimated and entered accordingly. This rating will be used for the season and will be used in determining if the '150' rule is being adhered to. Beginners should be entered as 0 (zero).
