Against my better judgment, I'll join up to be the sacrificial lamb. But in the future, can we play matches against teams closer to our size and strength? When we play against large teams, the first board tends to be a slaughter.
Anybody else want to join the match against Team USA?

Hi Daniel, thanks for the suggestion. I just put an open challenge out there, and Team USA grabbed it. Initially, they had relatively low rated players sign up, but then that one 2600 rated player joined in.
I guess I can try to see if I can set parameters when I try to get a team match set up again.
Here is a link to the match:
