Credit Wormrose Team matches and vote chess requests shall be honored as long as they are reasonable starting positions, with 3 days per turn. Vote chess rules: Discuss day 1 and 2, vote on the third. In order to find the best move and to play the best move there are a few guidelines which we follow. These have been gleaned from the pains of experience and most of them should not be thought of as rules. They are just good ideas. We cannot enforce rules. However there are some guidelines infractions for which a person might find themselves removed from the group. Those would deal with one member's behavior towards another member.Our games typically allow two days for us to make a move. The first 24 hrs is for submission and suggesting of moves, plans and strategies and for the subsequent discussion, evaluation and appraisal of those candidates by the members of the team. Votes are far more effective when cast during the final 24 hrs. If, for personal reasons, you find you must vote early, there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. However, please do not encourage others to vote early. We strive to reach a consensus through discussion and vote together as a team. At times there may be two or more moves which are roughly equal but which lead to different strategies. In those circumstances an "Open Vote" may be declared and the votes will decide it. In these cases it is important to remember we are not competing with each other. Personal attacks on team mates will not be tolerated. When the clock reads [new comment alert]which will appear on your home page and will serve as a reminder that it is now time to review the analysis and cast your vote.When joining a new vote game don't forget to tick [x] Notify me of new comments near the bottom of the page. This will ensure that you will receive an alert when it is our turn to move and it will also enable the [new comment alert] mentioned above. If you submit a comment in the discussion forum at any time, that action will automatically enable alerts for the remainder of that game.Each of our vote games is a team effort. Please do not treat it as your personal game. Please do not vote for moves which are not mentioned in the discussion forum. If you have a good move then tell us about it in a comment so the team will have the opportunity to give it fair consideration. It is not necessary to explain why you think it is a good move but of course that is helpful. If you see a foolish move or blunder being suggested by team mate please be courteous and respectful in your appraisal of the move. Let us analyse the moves - not the people who suggest them. Chess engines are not allowed in normal vote chess games. Referencing archived computer analysis is also not allowed. Please refrain from mentioning computer analysis in our vote chess forums. If you get madand decide to quit the game or if you accidentally click on [Leave Game] you will see a pop-up which will give you a second chance to stay with the game (suggested). If you still decide to quit that action is irreversible. Please respect your team mates and keep the language clean. Enjoy the games! ------------

This forum is meant to handle the organization of the SACC Rapid League, which was taking place on the discord server. The rules are as follows: 1. About once per week (usually on Sundays), I will update the standings and post the pairings for the next week. 2. Participants are then responsible for messaging their opponent and arranging a mutual agreeable time for a game. The game must take place before a week has passed since the last posting. 3. The games are 15 | 10 time control 4. If a game cannot be arranged, the players can decide between themselves how to split the point (be civil, this is a social league). 5. Postgame discussion is highly encouraged Please post your username below if you are interested in participating. I plan on starting the league on the 29th if we can get at least 4 people. Have fun!

Would anybody be interested in live vote chess, you'll have to check in on it but you can set the time to like 2 hours per a move, can also make plans for when people have enough free time do 10 minutes per a move, just thought it could be fun and wanted to see if others are interested

Gonna be hosting a club tournament this weekend to celebrate the start up of the discord, the reward will be a month of diamond membership for the winner of the open rating tournament and the winner of the <1400 tournament, sadly not everyone may be available at the time of the tournament but would like to vote on the day to give as many people a chance to participate so if you are interested in joining please leave a comment on your vote for either Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening, thanks

Looking for ideas, the daily tournaments are nice but i'd like to have a nice 1 day event on maybe a saturday or sunday afternoon. Any ideas?

Anyone can be nominated, and all votes must be cast by 4/14/21 to be counted. CheersRob
