Chess.com Nations League Final Standings! (and prize winners)

Final Nations League standings have been released! We finished 3rd, behind only Romania and Poland! Full final standings can be found here: https://www.chess.com/news/view/nations-league-round-7-results-standings

 As 3rd place finishers, we win 5 diamond memberships of varying lengths for our top individual performers over the course of the Nations League season! Unlike other competitions, though, we (as admins) do not have any say in which members are our 'top performers'. Instead, they will be distributed according to the following Nations League rule:

• "C5. Individual team tiebreaks (for top performer prizes) - Tiebreak 1: Total game points scored throughout season. Tiebreak 2: Higher Chess.com rapid rating"

Here's our full prize breakdown: 

• Top performer: 1 year diamond - @resop2
• 2nd-3rd top performer: each 9 month diamond - @lorookie, @losingreallybadly
• 4th-5th top performer: each 6 month diamond - @mcmodern, @clarkbart

A big shout-out also goes out to @Reccossu, @RBKUHN, NM @Ejarov, @bluberrie_tea, @johnstipp-bethune, @FulcrumV, and @FunkyStuff, who all finished just out of the prize places!

Thank you all for an excellent Nations League season! We will continue our Pan American Live Chess League campaign next weekend with a Blitz Cup match vs Puerto Rico and a U1600 match vs Bolivia. 

cool

Wow!

Good job guys. I'm glad I am on the same team as these guys 

good job USA!

When will the next nations league be?

I'd guess around July or so, but I could be wrong.

Congratulations to the possible winners and well done on placing third US Chess. I hope to participate more on the next Nations League.

hey, are only these many teams playing? Why not teams like russia or something?

The Nations League is only for official chess federations, so Russia's chess federation may not have a group that plays live matches. The Live Chess World League (LCWL) is open to all teams representing countries, so Team Russia plays in that one.

Let's grind it out to first place next season

Ugh.  I need to get my rating higher, more pairings, more points.  I just missed the cut for both blitz and rapid against Cape Verde.  (Thanks a lot Arkansas regional).

Big shout out also to @Dare-Dare for orgainizing and running this season's Nations League for us!!!

TY @daredare for doing this

I mean TY Dare-Dare for doing this

That's a solid result - congrats team!  And yes a big thank you to Dare-Dare for organizing our teams.

Thanks to organizers and players (especially those who recruited other players).  Even if we had beaten England instead of split we would have been 3rd, and we didn't lose to anyone that wasn't a stronger team.

Not sure that I deserved to win.  All I did was basically show up and play when there was a match...

Thanks?

And thanks to Dare-Dare for making it all happen.

And thanks to all of those who play the higher boards.  I'm not in that arena,  If I was higher, I'd get crushed, so I try to keep perspective...

I played in match against a South American Country.
