For the PCL Battle Royales, does chess.com staff have to manually create each game/pairing or does chess.com have like a 'preset' to automatically create the pairings and the games, given eight clubs of four? If there is a preset, are there plans in the works to create monster matches with a bunch of different clubs, or for club tournaments?

They are all created by me actually. I've built some tools that are specific to the leagues needs that we use to make them. 

 

We have got some tools in mind to try to make possible for member to run their own leagues.

Hello Mr. jdcannon. A tool to run member leagues would be fantastic. 

One question if you know the answer. I am an admin of Team Iceland. We play in the Live Chess World League. The format is min 20 players and up to what ever number each team can bring. As an admin I (and all admins) spend alot of time to contact players. I am wondering if its possible to make some kind of notification system where all members of a team (at least the official national teams) would see very clearly that a match is about to start. I know they can see the match under the tournaments tab, but not everybody looks there.

Thank you!

There isn't currently away, but I have an idea that I will run by our product team.

We were about to bring a product to beta, but honestly, it's mega complicated and just wasn't "flowy" enough to use.
