First thing I would like to point out this is not related to the TM championships or TM League but it is in response to a discussion in there.
I have opened up a tournament for up to 32 teams / groups (this could expand if demand was high).
I am keeping the rules very simple.
1. No teams with less than 250 will be allowed to register.
2. Teams over 700 will be removed and asked to join the TM League.
3. If you register with less than 700 and go over that before the matches are due to start you will be asked to go register in the TM League.
4. Please be respectful for the other group members in here.
5. When all teams are registered I will work out the average based on the top 5 players ratings to decide which table you will join.
6. When all pairings have been made you will have 7 days to make the challenge.
7. You will then have 3 days to accept.
8. If you have not accepted by the set date you will forfeit the match and be awarded 0 points.
9. Once the team has accepted the challenge you will have 7 days to get a minimum of 15 players into the match and lock.
10. Any issues please use the problems forum http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/problems
If anyone of you are interested then please feel free to come and join the group where it is all being held:
