WoLC in NSP Bullet Chess League?

Hello all, merry Christmas and happy holidays!! (for those who celebrate)

Congratulations to our Blitz Teams, WoLC One & WoLC Two for qualifying to the playoff round of NSP Blitz Chess League! Sad news is that they are going to face each other in the quarterfinals, since "One" didn't manage to steal a draw during the last Swiss round, which would have placed them on the fourth spot of the board with better chances for a theoretically easier opponent. However, the looser will still have a chance through the "Loosers' Bracket" to even reach the Grand Final. So let's wish good luck to both of them!!

WoLC Three wasn't lucky enough after all, having been eliminated on the last Week of the Swiss tournament part of the League, having tried their best, all the players, along with their leader @kraunak60 who did a great job, if we consider the lack of enough spare time on his part. In fact, "Three" was considered the second strongest team of the League, prior to its start (see following pic), but sometimes numbers are just numbers.

Especially when players of other teams, intentionally (?) maintain a much lower rating during the Collection period, which skyrockets soon, past the registration deadline! This is said only after close observation of several individuals (no intention to name anyone here in particular), and we really hope League Admins will come up with a solution to crack down on such incidents, making their leagues fairer and even more balanced from now on, so to offer equal chances to all teams participating.

Another thing that Admins should somehow overcome, is the majority of players' unwillingness to find a common ground on arranging and playing their games. People have started getting board of such Negotiation strategies, along with other malfunctions having been observed, like late appeals and alteration of official published results, past a round's deadline. So let's hope for the invention of the right recipe to restore NSP to its past glory days, maintaining the public interest.

I'm really sorry for using that much of criticism, especially during these days, although feedback is always essential when you care about something and you want to see it improving, and should be much desirable and appreciated from all interested parties.

However, this post isn't about the Blitz League of NSP, but regarding their Bullet one. The admins are asking for possible interest of teams, so to consider the start of a new season. In order for us to know how many teams we could compete with, we'll need to have your interest expressed in here, until New Year's eve.

I wish you in advance for a happy new year!!
