It is common knowledge that the matches of the competition "International Clubs Cup" began without written rules, but with the belief that the admin of each team would follow the generally accepted rules of fair conduct of the matches. The purpose of this competition is that the participating teams should participate with as many players as possible and, in any case, the admin of each team should not exclude the participation of their members, who would like to participate, by locking his team before the start of the competition. There is big difference in the number of members between the participating teams and for this reason a minimum required number of players for the roster of each team was not set. However, each team must fill its roster with, at least, the same number of players, that it had filled in the previous round. Otherwise, i.e. if the admin of a team has locked his team and it does not have, at least, the same number of players, as it had in the previous round, then the opponent team will have the right to claim a win and to be promoted to the next round. Please write your thoughts below.

A new "ICC 2023 U-1300" competition for at least 5 < 1300 rated players. All teams will play each other. One team match per month, on 20th day every month. The admin of every team can send the challenge to the opponent team and the admin of the opponent team has to accepted it into the 15 first days of each month. If none admin sent the challenge, or none admin accepted it, then the team of the admin, who didn`t send, or didn`t accept the challenge, takes (0) points. If the team match can not begin at the start day/time, because one team has not filled its roster with the minimum required number of (5) players, then the match is counted as won by its opponent team, if the last one has already filled its roster with the minimum number of players, otherwise, if both teams have not filled their roster with the minimum number of players, then the match is counted as lost by both of them. The admin of a team, if he wishes, can give to the opponent team, which has not filled its roster with the minimum number of (5) players, a deadline of up to 5 days for the latter to fill the roster with the required number of (5) players. He has to write down into the notes of this forum that he gave this possibility to the opponent team. Note that win=2 points, draw=1 point and defeat=0 point. All teams are as following: 1. Murphy Chess Club 2. Argentina Chess Club 3. Club de Ajedrez Siete Picos 4. Chess Nerds 101 5. Team Gandalf 6. PLATENSE 7. RACING CLUB 8. Real Madrid C.F.
