The PB has approved the Rating Regulations and Title Regulations (with new Tables for Direct Titles). The PB also approved the new Regulations on Registration & Licensing of Players. All these 3 sets of regulations shall be effective from 1 July 2013.
Attention is drawn to Rating Regulations Rules 5.2 and 13.2 for players.
On Title Regulations, please note Rules 1.13; 1.13a and 1.13b with regards to time controls and number of rounds per day especially for a GM norm.
Most importantly, Rule 1.55 states that “title norms gained before 1 July 2005 must be registered with FIDE before 1 July 2013 or they will be considered to have expired.” Please kindly forward your registration of “old” norms directly to our newly appointed Title Administrator, Mr Michalis Kaloumenos at michalis@cinephos.gr and his special task group will endeavor to help you as much as possible.

I am so tired of reading new regulations all the time. Can’t they get it right the first time?? The world isn’t changing so fast. Who voted for this? Who initiated? Who was against? Who abstained? More transparency, please.
