Lets take the gold then people.

Woops...Here's the schedule, copyed and pasted:

Here are the preliminary schedules for the first round of the Chess.com World League. The teams have been divided into five different groups: Teams with 200 or more members, 100 or more members, 50 or more members, 20 or more members, and under 20 members. Keep in mind that those numbers are not exact, as some teams have probably grown since submitting their statistics to us, and there may be other slight discrepancies as well. We have, however, placed the teams as best as we can, so please don't worry too much about those discrepancies.

What I am asking that team leaders please comment on, is if they believe their team to have been well-placed. I understand that some teams, such as Greece and Wales, made clear that many of their members had not actually expressed interest in the league. However, that is actually case with many teams, my own Team Canada included, so what we have done is set very low minimums for the number of players needed to participate in each match, as you will see below.

Also important to note is that we have decided that the first round will be an exhibition round, wherein none of the results actually count towards the World League rankings. This is so that we can work out whatever problems there are without too many repercussions.

So, please look over the lists below, and comment on any problems you see. Bear in mind that these are only the matchups for the exhibition round, and that each matchup covers EVERY division (i.e. Canada will play against Southwest USA in all four rating divisions at once).

Now is the time to comment, so that we can get the first round started as soon as possible!
