Vote Chess Done As a Team

All vote chess team members "turn on" tracking in the comments section, by placing a check in the box above comments.

Prior to any votes be cast, each vote team shall elect a team leader. Another option is to have a permanent Admin leader and assistant. They help keep discussion on track, and help the team find the best move. This should be an experienced Vote Chess member, who has played this before.

Members will be taught to enter chess boards, men, and moves (with optional moves) to use on the Team Discussion screen. (In time)

Members should sign in and suggest an opening or move, depending on team color.

If somebody likes a move, let them post and explain their reasoning for that move. The way to better vote chess is through Communication with your team mates.

The Leader allows for members to evaluate moves to determine the better move before he Bolds the team vote, (or top two/three). Do not become individualistic in your thinking, remember this is a team match. Do not move till the Team leader gives the Group Vote!We will all vote the same move.

At 24 hours (or before, in exceptions), the Team leader (or Assistant) will Bolt Font or Upsize Font showing the group’s decision, then all members vote for that moveat or after that time. No one else is allowed to Bold or large font a move. Only discussed moves are allowed to be voted on!
After you vote, copy the vote chart, paste it in the comment box, and submit, (as shown below after submitting).

7. Exceptions to 24 hour vote: A) You will not be available during that time – then vote the move proposed by the Group Leader, and in brief, say why you must vote early; such as “Will be out of town”. B) The Leader may give the Vote early if there is only one obvious move, or if that move is Checkmate.
Be Polite, we are all on the same team, if you don't agree with another member’s suggestion, do so in a polite manner, please refrain from negative or hurtful comments. Just because someone suggests a move that may be an obvious blunder, you don't have to tell him his move is dumb or stupid. Instead, use the opportunity to help that individual to see his/her mistake; it will help them to becoming a better player,
Resigning: Should be a last resort measure, however, there will be instances where we won't have a choice. Let’s be good sports, resign when the game is totally a no win, or draw if a draw situation. Believe me, our opponents will appreciate and recognize our team for it. Eventually, teams will note us for our honest and fair play, leading to more repeat matches.

Encourage participation of our lower rated members to get involved with our matches. This is a wonderful learning opportunity.

When we are victorious, we post a team note regarding our win, when we lose, congratulate the opposing team, and perhaps request a re-match.

I hope this will help bring our vote chess team matches more coordination and success in the future.
