Scorching Nuts..

oops, I mean Burning Nuts

But you can put Alan as first contact and myself as 2nd.... he's got more time for the matches than I have...

I quite happilly delegate all FSVL decisions about all my groups to Chapo. 

I know Alan is in the same time zone I am.  What's yours, Babs?  I know you're in some weird time zone that's off by a half hour.  I want to say +10.5.  Is that right?  Or is it +9.5?

Icelandic group says yes

Daylight Savings started here 2 weekends ago William.. so it's currently 10.5+

Great, welcome back.

Red Army

SuperTroopers SVC YES blackfirestorm666 as first contact and I will arrange another contact this week x

If we can join, The Knights of Chess.com.

You'll need to play a qualifying game first.  You've only played in 2 Speed Vote Games.  In one of them you timed out on the first move, and the other one only made it 6 moves before your opponent timed out.  It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but you need to play a game for longer than 16 moves without timing out.  It also doesn't matter who you play against.  I'm sure there are several groups here that would be willing to help you qualify.  Good Luck!!

What about "Chess Asociation Oceania" ?  can they also go for SVCL ?

They would also need to play a qualifying game.  The fastest vote game they've played was 6 hours/turn.

Ok, anyone up?

You would be better asking in the group notes

I'm asking if other teams would play us.

And you don't think it would be better asking in the group notes where most people actually chat and ready?

ok, ok. I will.
