  • Just created it. We should get a group to accept it in a day or so :)

  • I would be interested in a vote match, either 960 or regular (w/ an unorthodox opening preferably) if one was started...

  • It's now been taken care of. Thanks for letting me know :)

  • In the LOC match there are two banned players, one on each side, that need to be removed from the match. Otherwise their opponents will be deprived of their games, and for no good purpose.

  • That is right, my mistake. Therefore...no compensation, but not as if it is hard to get a game...plenty of matches and tournaments :-)

  • No, you don't receive rating points if less than two moves are made in a game before it is abandoned.

  • While both teams have a banned player the results balance out, except their opponents will miss out on their games (but receive free rating ponts in compensation LOL).

  • I just locked our team in that match. Not sure how it's gonna work with the banned players - I guess they'll just resign their game, or they'll be discounted or something.
