There are still some matches where match start report is missing and might not have started yet.
It would be really nice if they also could start, and we will give them that opportunity before next round (#2) starts. We would like to have as many European teams onboard as possible in this league from the very beginning.
Any of the teams could challenge to their opponent during June-July, and report match start to this announcement or to: http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/reporting-match-results
However, the matches must have started at the latest around 2nd of August 2400cet. Please report if your challenges not become accepted, or if your team doesn’t want/cannot participate in European League this very time.
