want to practice for the season since I haven’t played long time controls in a while since otb tournaments so does anyone want to play rapid games vs me any time b4 the season? My orb UCSF rating is 1843 to be precise

I think we should try to play on the same day, or even at the same time. I'm practically free all week next week, but I was thinking perhaps Tuesday or Wednesday night. Would love to hear everyone's suggestions and whether or not you all prefer a certain day, or the notion that same time will not work because of differences in schedules. In case you forget our lineup for Week 1: Board 1: @sengdaonumber2 Board 2: @jphillips Board 3: @Sengdao Board 4: @SuperSamraat Board 5: @Ballernate22 Board 6: @beecca121220 Board 7: @amazonriver17 Board 8: @TheGalaxyInvader I expect them to field their strongest lineup against us (and in addition, they only have 9 players on their roster). Let's expect the worst outcome, which is their strongest team. Here would be their boards: B1 @Joseph_TruelsonB2 @Chess4PKB3 @T0TSB4 @Stephen_StanfieldB5 @ZaeemAB6 @StealthNightB7 @Leon_Likes_ChessB8 @KoalaKnightMI Thanks!

All boards will be a tight match. This will be anyone's game. We are fielding our strongest lineup. Expected result: draw Week 2 Chess.com Comets They outrate us by 500 points. We are fielding our strongest top 4, but our weakest bottom 4. There are genuine chances up top to snatch a few points. Expected result: loss Week 3 Hinsdelk Grove We outrate them by 100 points. This should be a relatively easy match, with more than enough depth to win. We are fielding a good, rotated lineup. Expected result: win Week 4 Fremd Vikings They outrate us by 450 points. Our boards are heavily outrated across the boards besides Board 1. We are nowhere near our best combination of 8. Expected result: loss Week 5 RAR Attackers They outrate us by 600 points. Our boards are heavily outrated across the boards. @TheGalaxyInvader is playing Board 4. Expected result: loss Week 6 Rockford Floridians We outrate them by 100 points. This should be a relatively easy match. We are fielding a great, rotated lineup. Expected result: win Week 7 Stillman Valley Cardinals We outrate them by 100 points. This should be a straightforward match. We are fielding a decent, rotated lineup. Expected result: win Week 8 Socially Distant Opposition We outrate them by 50 points. All boards will be a tight match. This will be anyone's game. We are fielding one of our strongest lineups. Expected result: win Week 9 Neuqua Valley Walruses We outrate them by 100 points. However, Neuqua Valley are known to have underrated, deceiving ratings. Expect the unexpected. We are fielding a decent, rotated lineup. Expected result: win Season Worst Case Scenario: 4 wins 5 losses (4-5), 6th place Season Target: 5 wins 3 losses 1 draw (5-3-1), 5th place Season Goal: 6 wins 3 losses (6-3), 4th place Let's go Rolling....Croissant....Rockets!!! *confetti* (totally did not just spend an hour writing this)
