Hello everyone, how are you doing? I hope you’re enjoying chess and the tournaments. For the upcoming second edition of Votechess Byzantine, I’d like to share a proposal to improve the format compared to the first edition. In the previous edition, each round included two games (one with White and one with Black), and players had 3 days to vote for each move. For the new edition, my idea is to simplify and make the tournament more dynamic: play only one game per round instead of two, and reduce the voting time from 3 days to just 1 day. The color of the pieces (White or Black) for each round would be decided by lottery/draw, ensuring fairness and balance for all teams. I’d also like to apply this same system already in the playoffs of the current edition (which is still ongoing), so that the final stage is faster and more exciting, and the second edition can start with this format already established. I’d love to hear your thoughts: whether it’s new ideas to improve the tournament or simply confirming if you agree with this proposal. Once we’ve gathered everyone’s opinions, we can organize a vote to decide if we move forward with this format. With the best moves ahead,Pedro José Griñán Cano, SA TCMAC 

TCMAC 2025-2026 SEASON IS STARTING! The TCMAC league is pleased to announce the start of the 2025-2026 season. Leagues will start in September, October and November, with one or two leagues starting each week.  We are moving to a regular cadence for round announcement, such that for most leagues, new rounds will be announced on Fridays. We will also use a live website for tracking match results, and there are a streamlined set of rules for all leagues. Please review the new rules before signing up.  Please be sure that clubs are able to meet the minimum number of boards for the leagues you are registering, and that club admins monitor TCMAC forums and news announcements. Clubs should not change their name after the season starts. We will open registration for three leagues now, and then in September four more leagues, and 4 more in October. The leagues will start in the month following registration.  See this post for the schedule of league registration and first round dates. Battle of the Legions first round challenges will be announced on September 12. Registration for that league will close the previous weekend on September 7. The other leagues start in the following weeks. Register your club below if you would like to participate in any of the following leagues.  In each case provide the club name and link, name of one or two active admins, and which league or leagues you wish to join. For Battle of the Legions, also specify if you wish to register for the 10+ BOL Master division, or the 5+ BOL Arena division.  We would expect larger teams in the 10+ division only.

Setting up matches for chess.com leagues is often known as 'sending a challenge', because that's the necessary first step.  The user interface for this was updated a couple of years ago, and still has a few quirks.  This guide is to help you do it, showing example from the Battle of the Legions, but really applies to any TCMAC competition with appropriate adjustments. It's advised to use a computer browser rather than a phone for these, and to use multiple tabs in your browser to be able to access the information you need as you complete the challenge form. Preparation:  Find the league and make sure you follow the forum  Find the league from the About Club page or the sidebar Click 'follow' at the bottom of the forum thread: Step 1: Identify the club to challenge TCMAC admins announces 'pairings' through news posts and in the league forums. The pairings are often in the announcement post but you can always find them in the forum.  Look for the link 'PAIRINGS' and click it (open in a new tab). This will take you to a post like this Locate your team and the opponent, you can click on the opposing team's name to get to that club's home page.   Note your team may be on the left or the right side, either side can issue challenges. It's both team's responsibility to ensure matches are set up correctly. Step 2: Open challenge form Find the 'Challenge' button on the homepage of the club you are challenging.  We are going to use 'Europe National Team' as an example. Click on the grey 'Challenge' button and another form pops up - you need to choose the type of challenge For most TCMAC leagues, the correct challenge type is 'Daily Match'.  For the Byzantium VC league only, choose 'Vote Chess'. Once you've selected the challenge type, click on the green 'Challenge' button   Step 3: Confirm the challenge clubs A big form labelled 'Tournaments' and 'New Club Daily Match' should pop-up, similar to this Firstly, choose your own club that's issuing the challenge in the first form 'Club'. (shown 'Hotel California' in the image above). If you are admin in multiple clubs, the wrong club could be shown here. Secondly, verify the 'Club to Challenge' is the club you intended to challenge, according to the pairings. Step 4: Fill out the challenge details Here's where it's useful to have multiple tabs. The details of the parameters for this challenge form can be found in the league forum.  On another tab, click on the 'parameters' link provided. The match parameters are found in a post similar to this.  Keep this open in a separate tabFor each of the items identified in the parameters post, fill out the values specified in the Challenge form.  The start date is shown in the Calendar or also in the challenge announcement TCMAC matches all start at 12:00 CET (Rome/UTC+1) or UTC+2 in summer time. A difference of an hour or two is not that important for TCMAC.  Adjust for your own timezone. The image below shows the match name filled out according to the parameters (put your own team name first), and the date/time filled out according to the calendar. Scroll down and fill out the other parameters of the form carefully, referring to the league parameters in your other tab. Players per club, Game type (Standard or Chess 960), Days per Move and Maximum Rating will all vary by TCMAC league. Minimum Games is always 10 for TCMAC (except Byzantium VM). Please ensure the correct values are filled out for the league or the match will not be accepted. Once you've double-checked all the parameters are correct, click the green Create button at the bottom of the form.  Step 5: Post the link to the Challenge TCMAC admins cannot see the challenges unless the links are shared. If challenges are not accepted and the links are not posted, your team will be awarded a forfeit. So this step is important. You should see a challenge or 'seek' page like this.   Do not try to accept this challenge as that task is for the admin of the opposing club! Do not cancel it either, unless you have made a mistake in the parameters. To copy the link the to challenge, select the 'seek' address in your browser's address bar and copy it (ctrl-C).  After copying the 'seek' address you can close this tab. Go back to the league forum page and post the link the challenge along with the name of the match or the names of your team and the team you are challenging.  For example like this: You're done!  Next time it will be much easier, but please always check the details of parameters when sending and receiving challenges.
