As I have posted on the rules forum, what will be the "official" Tie Break system to determine the final classification and which groups go to Play Offs..
Unless someone else has a better idea, if two teams have identical scores, the team that scored their points first wins.
i think this needs to be updated.
So, Team Antarctica has been definetively the winner of the regular season... :)
Let's see how do we do on the Play Offs.. :)
That's right. If this were the National Hockey League, you would get the President's Trophy. 
Good Luck with the Stanley Cup.

I have a better idea. If two teams are tied, then look at the games played between the two teams. If they each scored the same amount, then you use the first blood method.

That wouldn't work cuz it would add WAY TOO MANY games to the season. We don't have time for everybody to play everybody. The season would last the whole year.
Only 2 games left in the regular season.
The Eastern Conference is the only one that didn't have a team withdraw.
The Northern Conference, on the other hand, had 2 teams withdraw.
If the Chess & Cola Club vs Chess Empire game does NOT time out, then the Chess & Cola Club will be the ONLY team (in any conference) to play all 4 games to completion.
If the Fast Players Group vs the Premiere of All game does NOT time out, then it will be the ONLY game in the Northern Conference to go the distance (ALL other games in that conference have been timeouts and forfeits).
We'll try to not timeout!
Good luck on getting your first win!! It would be nice to see all the teams (who didn't withdraw) end up with SOME points!!
We always lost because I could never stay on so long!
When we played the first games, we had about 100 members, now we have 214. We would be much higher if it started later...

Hopefully that means that you'll do much better next season. You will be returning for Season 2 won't you?
Are all the results in yet William... wondering who we will be playing in the playoffs in 2.5 weeks.
One more game to go Babs. If the Fast Players Group wins, you'll play The Premiere of All. If The Premiere of All wins, then you'll play the Fast Players Group. And if they draw, you'll play the Power of Chess. We'll just have to wait and see.
sure we will
Awesome!! Glad to hear it!! I'll add you to the list of returning teams. Anyone else positive that they'll be coming back for Season 2?
Ok, thanks William.... do you know when they are playing?
Mthinker has said that he has started coordination efforts for the game. I don't know if they've agreed on a time yet or not.
