clarification news

Hello members of the NSPVCL!

We have been getting SEASON 2 ready lately and we have some clarifications for the season.

After having a vote we have brought up some new ideas for the season to make it smooth and fun for you. 

~New updates~

1. We will now have 5 players per team. The avg. rating cap remains at 1700, that is, the sum of all 5 players' final collected ratings cannot surpass 8500 total rating points.
2. The regular phase will be consisted of 6 weeks: The first 4 weeks will be (960, 3+, CH, KOTH). And the last 2 will be the Top voted variants (2 of the above) Which are: CrazyHouse and Live 960. But to mix it up a little we will be having Most voted variants on weeks 3 and 6.
3. Format and time controls for the regular season will remain the same: two 3|2 blitz games and two 5|0 blitz games, in any order
4. The playoff phase will have all 4 regular variants, the players will have to play 4 blitz 3|2 games, 2 as white and 2 as black. (Who plays which variants in what color are chosen randomly).
5. Aside from the above mentioned, all league rules remain the same. You can read it here: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/nspvcl-rules-and-guidelines (new rules will be added soon in green text color).

Vote for the top 2 variants for Week 3+6: Vote completed.

And that's all folks! Lets have a super variant fun season. Thanks
