1ST Club Match This Saturday May 23rd

The Club League is soon to be underway and I am jacked.  There are currently 115 confirmed clubs from 36 countries. Chess.com’s Clubs League 2020 season will be Saturday, May 23 (first match) through Saturday, July 11 (final match).  

The league will have weekly matches on eight (8) consecutive Saturdays – May 23, May 30, June 6, June 13, June 20, June 27, July 4, and July 11.

The suggested default match time is Saturday 1:00pm EDT.  The estimated match time is 1 hour. 2 Games @ G15 +2 

Our First Club Match is this Saturday May 23rd, at 1:00pm EDT.  If we cant have 4 players we will try to reschedule another time on Saturday but no guarantees.  We will find out the opponent tomorrow.  I will discuss with the opposing club Admin to decide the time, 1pm if all works.  We are in the B Division which means we need at least 4 people to have a match or will have to forfeit games.  If we have more than 4 and they have more than 4 it will match up as many as we can.  I hope you can spare an hour to play 2 games.  Please let me know if you can/want to play so I can get a fell for the turnout.

The match will be time control of - Custom - 15 mins + 2 second increment - no adjustments to this time control are permitted

Club matches automatically pair players based on Chess.com rapid ratings, and players will play two games (white/black) against the same opponent.  Each player's second game will start immediately after the first game finishes.

Players will only be able to join the match up to one hour in advance. If players are late to the match, there is no way to add them in later.  It is recommended that all players show up early to the match and ensure their internet connection is stable.

After the match concludes, each team's club will have a direct link to the games and results on their club pages.

Please let me know if I left out any crucial info.
