and who plays black and who plays white,or do you play one black one white?

The first team named has White and sends the challenge. The challenges must be sent no later than Thursday and accepted no later than Friday.
But I'll work out more specific instructions and will send all admins a message.

Thanks Links - looking forward to receiving the go ahead!

The Blakenators vs. Team Italia - this is the group with GM Julio Becerra - I hope he won't join, or we are doomed before we even start... 

You first: Bird or Marauders?

Restriction is there :) :

* Players who are a member of more than one team, are strongly encouraged to impose self-discipline and play all games of the tournament with the same team.

The first games have started!
I will provide links to the games in the first post when they start.

I have send the challenge Juniors Chess Club vs THE PREMIER OF ALL

All R1 games have started, thanks everyone!

I was just going through all the vote chess games checking all the moves,and I got a surprise when I went into the game Juniors Chess Club vs. THE PREMIER OF ALL BLACK won on time!!!

Yes, that is disappointing...

Guess there is nothing we can do about it though...

We should make a max number of players that a group must have about 100 players the chances of results like that will be smaller then...because Juniors Chess Club only has 27 members

Except that Cheers! Vote Chess Café has only 19 members, but they are extremely active. So you can't always tell.

Yeah, especially for the Open, I wouldn't be too stressed: if people register their teams and then lose on time, so be it...

French Defense Fanatics won on time.
The other matches are around move 11 and some of them are already looking like pretty tense fights!

Thanks for the update Links!
