(#feedback-and-help on Discord) With the upcoming end to the first official season, we want to know your thoughts, as the players of the league, on what we could try to improve for future seasons, as well as if you have any questions, concerns, issues, or anything of that sort. Feel free to ask here!

a) if possible, please accelerate the games. I found it terribly too long/slow. A 5I0 blitz setting wouldn't shock me, or maybe 4I1.

b) why aren't the games rated?

c) what was the reason of having ONE rematch? I mean, it should/could be either totally separate games, or 3-5 games in a match, but "just 2" seems somewhat weird.

d) I know that you will create divisions soon and that's very good; so probably the item that follows will be pointless. But I found that the lower rating limit was too low. It should be at least 2100-2200 I believe. Otherwise that creates a lot of unfairness. Basically there shouldn't exist games with more than 200-300 points of range.

Response to Indipendenza
a) 5|10 is a fine time control for high level (2600+ usually is when the openings especially start requiring very long amounts of time to play correctly), but yes it can get a bit long. Usually that’s only when someone refuses to think and mindlessly premoves. For our variants league however, we will most likely be considering blitz only.

b) Don’t have an answer to that, although you can ask Radon

c) Even if the time control was 1|7, 5 rematches would mean 4-7 hours of gameplay, something that is far out of a normal player’s timeframe

d) All of the top 16 players in the current season are 2200+, and we may be considering implementing two separate rating divisions for the lower leagues.

I just tested it with someone else on the mod team and can't reproduce the issue, can you first do the following:

  1. Check that you have completed the rules screening and agreed to them
  2. Direct message me on Discord so I know your username and can manually add your roles since it is most likely a problem on your end?

I don't see how I can agree with the rules
