Ok, so I just posted a link to this league in the main forums:

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/list-of-leagues

So what are the rules for this league?  How many teams will there be?  When will it start?  How long will it last?  Will this be Team Matches or Vote Games?

So far I only see a Piano Team:

So I hope you don't mind if I took it upon myself to form a Drum Team:

Now we need a Guitar Team, a Saxophone Team, a Vocal Team...  What else?  Let's get this league going!!

As I expect there won't be many French Horn players around, how about a brass team?

I'm up for a choral team; maybe I'll create one if there isn't one already.

I found a group for clarinet and saxophone players, and have invited them to join.  This would be different from the Brass Team wouldn't it? 

Torkil - feel free to make a Brass Team, as I'm sure there isn't one yet.

DannyDanD - likewise with the Vocal Team.

You can search the groups for brass, trumpet, trombone, vocal, choral, choir, etc. just to make sure, but I'm guessing it's safe to start a new group.

How many teams do we want to have?  I really didn't start this group so I don't want to just walk in and take over.  It's inevitably up to Aeroayer, but he hasn't been online in almost a month (and he hasn't posted any rules or plans in almost 7), so I'm not sure what the best thing to do is.

I'm guessing that we are primarily interested in Team Matches against each other, or do we want to compete in Vote Games as well?  I know most people seem to like the 3-day/turn matches, but I prefer 5-days as I'm often busy and don't always have time to look at all my games.

I'm also guessing we're going to want a Round-Robin format where everybody plays everybody once.  There's plenty of different leagues with plenty of different formats, division sizes, playoff systems, etc..  Who likes what?  Maybe we can work it all out and propose it to Aeroayer when he gets back.

Okay fellow fretters - the guitar team is now in existance.  Let's get the players signed up and show the others that we CAN read music, and we can stand without noodling for more than 2 minutes.

Oh, we should probably play a game of chess or two as well.
