Team contacts: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/2017-wcl-team-contacts

This group is won by Biel-Bienne. Results are still preliminary until October, 15th.

Team Toshkent seems to be defunct. We will continue to sent them challenges in order to nudge them for a reaction, but we cannot expect this to work.

Thanks RainPiper but can you double check these fixtures please as Team Birmingham are scheduled to play Istanbul twice but have no match against Novosibirsk.    Looking at the other groups they all appear to have the same issue.

Avatar of RainPiper

@Sir_Chjaka: Sorry for my delayed response, somehow your comment has escaped me so far. Pairings in Round 5 were wrong in all groups, indeed. Now corrected.

Avatar of KingsWaterman

@ RainPiper ... Stefan, on a very small point of detail, I think the header should now read "Division 4A (8 teams)"  [not 7 teams]  Wink

Avatar of RainPiper

Indeed ;-) Corrected.

How to throw a challenge team? is there any criteria?

Avatar of RainPiper

We will post an announcement of Round 1 with a detailed guideline for challenges tomorrow.

Drogheda is still not taking the call on 1st round

Avatar of RainPiper

No reason to worry yet. Not every admin is online every day. Wait 3 days and then try to contact the admins of the opposing team by private message.

 Drogheda does not accept the call. I wrote a message to the Chief Administrator of Drogheda, just wrote on the wall of his profile. But complete ignore. Drogheda is not taking a challenge on 1st round. Perhaps they want to gain unfair victory, taking a call on the last day of the time leaving Ufa collect team

Avatar of RainPiper

@LaBoReR_007: It's strange, indeed, that Dogheda does not accept your challenge. However, I suggest that you are milder in your assessment. In most cases of this sort the issue is a ill organised team rather than strategy.
