Team Match Championships Has Begun :)

Coat of Arms,

We have been accepted into the Team Match Championships tournament!  It is set up a little bit like the World Cup (football/ soccer).  Coat of Arms is in group E with three other teams (Free Iran, Chess Destination, and The Ancient of Days).  Some of you have already signed up for our match with Free Iran.

The fornmat is such that we will play each team in our group (3 matches in round robin format) and the top two teams from each group will advance to the second round. 

The tournament accepts only teams whose membership is between 10 and about 250 members, and teams who have active matches going on, so I think it is a great fit for us. For our information, the three other teams in our group are bigger than us, but we have a higher average rating, so it should be a fun first round. 

You can find out more about the tournament by checking out the team match tournaments page by looking up the group:
