Any Online Chess League for classical lovers?

@MrVineeth Your profile shows that you have played 14 classical games. That is obviously the reason you're not eligible. There's no mystery, no mistake, you simply have not played enough games to be admitted. If you have multiple accounts, with many games in other accounts, I understand that the organizers may find that suspicious.

That’s definitely not how I read #40. If I understand that correctly the issue has nothing to do with the number of games on the account.

Good point. I didn't pay attention to #40. I think that the league requires that you have some minimum number of games. But I really don't know. I don't play in that league and I am not familiar with the rules. But the OP said he has hundreds of games, and that's not what his profile says.
I highly recommend the Lichess 45+45 league. Why don't you try that?
@MrScribbles , Registrations are not opened for the team league. I am interested in the 960 league too. I haven't played any games but as far as I understand non-provisional games are accepted. I had applied to it but haven't received any updates.
I apologize if my enthusiasm comes across as excessive, but I'm genuinely thrilled to find a community that shares my passion for classical chess. All I desire is to be part of a group that appreciates this beautiful game as much as I do. From what I've gathered, there's no better league than Lichess4545, and that's why I'm eager to join and be an active member of this amazing community.

I never said that. I clearly mentioned that I have an established rating and that I have played only 14 games. The rules clearly state that an established rating is required. I have that. I havent cheated as well.I dont know which criterion I have to satisy because I have satisfied everything mentioned on the website . I'm just trying to understand if there is some other criteria I have missed like the number of games so that I can play more games and reach that number.

i happen to be a mod of the 4545 #chess960 league. please let me know where you got that incorrect information from, so i can set the record straight.

I am sorry I feel this is really a bit weird reasoning.
I can fully understand the frustration if you are truly enthusiastic, feel you have not done anything wrong, get an email that you are not eligible, but no further explanation.
I do have read the rules and terms of service and that the league admins are in their right to make decisions without having to explain why / providing reasons for this.
Also in the unlikely case the topic opener was previously flagged for mistakes using e.g. another account or whatsoever I can understand if at all the league admins would provide an explanation they will not do so publicly but in private with the topic opener.

But I still feel with the topic opener, that he is very disappointed not to be let in for the moment and that providing an explanation (although the Terms do not require that) would help here. He is now left with question marks and feels banned without knowing what he did wrong.
I'm sorry if my enthusiastic nature was off putting to the moderators but thats just how I am. I am passionate about chess and read good reviews about the league which is why I applied. I know I havent cheated , I know that I have an established rating and I know I satisfy all the rules.
I messaged the moderators multiple times which I should'nt have done. I apologize.I was just excited about the league and wanted to start before the next round began. I never meant to annoy anyone. I was just excited about the prospect of playing classical chess with a community that felt the same way.

If the league is willing to give me a second chance , It would mean a lot to me. I promise to curb my enthusiasm.
Again I have to reiterate , it was never my intention to annoy you by asking about my application . I know that the league is run my volunteers and applications may take more than a week to be processed but I let my enthusiastic nature get the better of me and made me impatient. I meant no harm .I was just too excited.
