Unfortunately we agreed to do the competition Friday, because both Saturdays and especially Sundays were organising a lot of competitions every week! If most of admins are against this idea we'll do it Saturday!
Saturday ok.

About LWCL + Competition management, Groups, Schedule and Rules!
ABOUT LWCL: LWCL (Live World Cities League) is a competition between cities, but in the LIVE variant, similar to LCWL. This competition is organised by ChessAroundTheEarth with the help of WCL and ECL administration.
1. This competition brings people from all over the world to play for their cities and to compete for the title of "CHAMPION". Only the cities will be rewarded!
2. The prizes does not consist in money, just in virtual medals and certificates!
3. A player can play only for a team, otherwise his points won't count! Same if he gets banned!
4. After the matches are ended (Round-Robin League), we will go to the brackets (round of 16/32, depends on the group size and how many cities are registered)
5. For every match it will be 2 points=win, 1 point=draw, 0 points=lose together with the scores (points difference) The results will be displayed on the ChessAroundTheEarth club!
COMPETITION MANAGEMENT:
1. If a team participates in the competition, an admin is required to give or accept the invitations for the matches + to announce the date and hour of the match for the players of the city!
2. Groups
. A division/group will NOT have the same concept as in Daily!
Teams in a group: 4 or 6 or 8 (depends on how many teams are registered! This value is changeable!)
The teams in the group are picked up randomly by ChessAroundTheEarth and then it will not change and will not be taken into account the WCL rankings!
The groups and the matches will be announced in both ChessAroundTheEarth and WCL and ECL, but matches announcements will be posted only in the club ChessAroundTheEarth! (ChessAroundTheEarth club link: https://www.chess.com/club/chessaroundtheearth
- When you apply for the club entrance, please mention the city you administer!
SCHEDULE:
1. The date of the match are picked by ChessAroundTheEarth and also to be picked up So that it does not overlap with other competitions, both organized by ChessAroundTheEarth, but also with any other major tournaments!
2. The matches hours are chosen by the ADMINS! Because we can't know what it is your ideal time for a match to begin, admins are pleased to put on the registration forum the ideal time for a match and we'll do an average of the 2 teams times or the admins are discussing separately the match time.
