What is Liga Problemista
Liga Problemista is regular yearly competition consisting of 4 rounds: twomovers, threemovers, helpmate twomovers and selfmate twomovers. The best 10 problems in each round get points: 17 for first, 13 for second, 10 for third, 8 for fourth placed etc., 2 points for tehth and 1 point for each author competing with correct entry but not placed between first ten. For joint entry composers divide the points earned by their problem. One author can send maximum three entries in each round, but cannot get points from more than one (although the second and/or third problem between top ten reduces the points for other competitors). The winner of Liga is the author with best cumulative score from all four rounds.
Composers from all countries are allowed to take part in the competition. However, due to a pretty short term, so far it has been almost local competition for Yugoslav composers, and occassionaly for few Macedonians. Recently, thanks to the e-mail facility, two (Yugoslav-born) composers living in the United States joined the Liga: the World class problemists Milan R. Vukcevich and Miodrag Mladenovic.
