Nations Cup Format - Starts June 28th

1. (Admin - Me) will Establish the time and date with your opponent's club admin for the match.

2. Each match consists of two segments - rapid and blitz.  These segments will be separate matches in Live Chess. The estimated match time is 1 hour, 35 minutes - 1 hour rapid segment, 10-15 minute break, 20 minute blitz segment. The blitz segment should be scheduled for 75 minutes after the rapid segment.

9. Time Control - Rapid - Custom - 15 mins + 2 second increment. Blitz - 3 | 2  (3 mins + 2 second increment) - this is a preset in the club match time controls. No changes to these time controls are permitted.

17. Club matches automatically pair players based on the relevant Chess.com rapid/blitz 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.

18. Once accepted, there will be a direct link and countdown to the match which both clubs can use to send to players to join.

19. 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.  Players must join each segment (rapid/blitz) separately. (no limit to the number of players)

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

22. Admins from both teams (losing and winning team) are responsible for reporting their results each Sunday.

That is all..
