I would be willing to play it doesn't interfere with my schedule.  If I know in advance, I'll be enthusiastically joining the matches.

Looking forward to it!

My understanding is that pairings will be known well in advance. Matches are also daily (3 days per move), so a lot easier to handle around a busy schedule. Most people play a few daily games, so an extra two at a time shouldn't be a huge problem. The organizers' biggest concern is avoiding timeouts!

Were we not able to form a team? I don’t see Maine listed as a team in any of the divisions for the 2021-2022 season?

We're listed. We'll be in Division 3B for this season: https://www.chess.com/news/view/announcement-of-2021-22-season-structure-and-teams
