But, Game 28: Golden Vortex(GV) vs ASIA.....ASIA did not received and challenge from Golden Vortex(GV).......I think it need a reminder....

Please, let me know the development.

The link to the group Golden Vortex is wrong. It should be http://www.chess.com/groups/view/golden-vortex

There was an internal problem with Golden Vortex, but it is fixed now. The group link is the same as the pervious one. Thanks

Golden Vortex(GV) offred us (ASIA) with a opening position but it should be an initial position :

At least it is a vote chess challenge this time, we are getting there 

Alan_Tudor (super admin for Great VC Group) has become banned for cheating. Should they get a new main contact?

Yes, it is the best for their performance.

I think it would be good to change the color of finnished games (to green) to make it easier to see which games are ongoing and which games are finnished.

I will put FINISHED next to the ones that are finished. I don't think the color will work properly with linked text.

I think I read all of the posts here and I could not find any tie-breaking rule. So what happens if two teams end up with the same record and the game between them finished with draw? Are both of them advancing? And if both of them are advancing how it is going to play out the next round? I am saying all of this because in our group there would be a potential tie for the second place.

The tie-break rule is mentioned in the first post in this forum and is mentioned in the format here.

Thanks for the reply Martin0! The reason I asked is that I do not read just the first post - I read everything what was posted. So if in the first post was mentioned that both of the teams advanced, in the 5th post t0sh answered (3&4) that he will be posting the tie break system shortly. And I could not find any tie break system after that. So I will periphrase my question - In case of tie does the rule that both teams advance still stands?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, the rule with both team advance still stands (and always has). If you read on I suggested a format which allows both teams to advance and t0sh decided to go for my suggested format with the addition that both teams will be considered winners if there is a tie in the final round. The rules I quoted from the format forum is correct.

Thank you again Martin0!
