Re: Disputes with an Associations member or League member
As you may have noticed, the ECF gets itself into an awful tangle over Codes of Conduct and Complaints procedures. There is no formalised ECF method where one chess player can complain to the ECF about the behaviour of another chess player. Nor should there be.John Reyes wrote:Is there anything in the ECF Rules about this?
If a complaint was made to a local club or association, they may in their local rules have means to resolve matters. I would have thought the first step was to record the detail of the complaint.
It's not unknown for complaints to reach the Small Claims Court. Despite accepting the entry and not having a specific restriction for players without current grades, the Blackpool Congress declined to pay the prize money when a technically ungraded player won a grading restricted section.

John - it ought to be a complaint to the association/league & let them follow their rules. Most have reviewed them & even gone as far as changing rules on conduct of players in their competitions.

Don't discuss details in public but take advice in private from those you trust or whose judgement you respect.
I'd have thought that if you were participating in an event as a member of a club team you would be best advised to discuss the matter with your team captain and club secretary.

Place the matter before the "association/league". They must be told.John Reyes wrote:Is there anything in the ECF Rules about this?

Having said that, there are laws of the land concerning victimisation, "being bullied/Prejudice", etc. And the ECF are not the police.

Obviously not knowing the details of the allegations one has to tread carefully.
Before approaching the League or Association, I believe that your captain and club secretary should be made aware of the complaint since as officials of the club they can provide meaningful support and advice.
