There are already clubs that sent their challenges before making the pairings. If you have been sent the Round 2 challenges before publication, accept it.

Is there a bug?

I had the challenges sent for CHC vs. Team Italia, they were also confirmed and indciated on the club page, but when I wanted to post the links here, they had disappeared.

I will try again tomorrow - or invite Team Italia to send us their challenges ...

I'm going to check it, because it may be a bug. Now I tell you.

Well... I've checked it and the matches don't appear. It may be a bug or you may have accidentally rejected it. No problem, tomorrow send the challenges. If it happens again, let me know privately and we'll see what we can do. All the best

don't worry!

I'll launch the challenges. By mistake, one of my admin colleagues rejected them. I just checked. Everything is OK. You will receive the challenges soon.

IIt seems the Arizonians has only accepted one of the two seeks and declined the other.

Sorry, your seeks seem to have disappeared (as mine before), I could not accept (nor are there the games - or do you see any?)

My 2nd try - at least I can open the seeks now again, so let's hope it works ...

Games CHC vs. Team Italia are set up now ...

(And it was probably no bug - seems the original challenges had been declined each time by accident, first my challenges by a Team Italia admin, then theirs by one of CHC .. .)

It's is linked to an issue with toaster notifications : unlike for daily matches, when you click "X" on a toaster notif for a VC challenge, it declines it. For daily club match it hides it without declining.

I've seen the same thing in other leagues having vote chess: many challenges are declined by mistake by admins from clubs who just want to hide the notif.

Thank you very much for this clarification, so indeed it is a kind of bug ...
