The Pan American Live Chess League published its final results today in a blog post. It's in Spanish, but you could always feed it into Google Translate: https://www.chess.com/es/blog/mariocamposs/argentina-live-chess-campeon-panamericano-de-ajedrez-en-vivo-blitz-5-2 And, here's our 3rd place medal:

The Pan American Live Chess League (LCPAL) playoff pairings are now final. We are the #1 seed, and will face the winner of Team Peru and Team Puerto Rico in the semifinals on October 26th or 27th. Mark your calendars!

The Pan American Live Chess League (LCPAL) is running an Under-1600 Blitz tournament that requires a minimum of 10 players per match. Would any players be interested in Team USA Live joining such an event? The deadline to join the tournament is October 6th, so I would need a considerable number of responses before then from U1600 players to feel comfortable signing us up for the event.

Given that the rating cutoff for today's LCWL Blitz match was around 1730, would any players be interested in a U1700 (or U1730) live match next weekend? We don't have other LCWL matches next weekend, so this would give an opportunity to play to some of our dedicated members who have shown up the last two weeks but haven't gotten to play.
Congrats folks! Thank you to the 73 of you who showed up for the blitz match and the 33 of you who showed up for the Rapid 960 match. We'll get you a game in future matches- against Iran, for instance.

1) Is it the more the merrier, or will you only need a certain number of people. I ask I'm not really all that strong of a player, and certainly only at a blitz time control (1400ish) 2) Do you normally have that number? 3) If we really aren't very good at eg bullet or chess 960 is it better not to join or if we are available should try and play 4) what is the best way to find the matches do most people use the tiny url link or is there something easier? thanks
