All you have to know about a club

What are club?

Just like a cricket team if you want to play big tournament you have to join a team firstly and then you have to take part in team matches here called as club matches.

what are club matches?

A club match is different than a tournament, because instead of one person winning, the whole team wins or loses based on how all the players on that team did. 

When one Club challenges another Club, the members who choose to join the fight will be matched against members of the opposing club based on their rank.  

Each pair will play two games, one as black and one as white. Wins are 1 point and draws ½, just like tournaments. After all the games are played, the points are counted up and the Club with the most points wins the match!
