Owing to the parser created by Dale00007 we are now able to parse and check all, even non-started games, so in round 8 we'll strictly apply multiteamer penalties and try to inform the teams about multiteaming players in advance. 

See http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/multi-team-play

If someone played for several teams earlier and does not agree with the home team attribution, he should leave a message in the topic.

Best Regards and good luck in your games.

Memo 2

About format and rule changes for the next year.

I shall update the competition results in January and see which teams will be in top-12 at that moment. Their admins will form a voting  board and decide all the questions democratically.
