We have it on our list. Should be checked sometime within the next few days.

Hello,
It seems your posting has not met the minimum requirements for submission, detailed in this thread. Please complete the following requirements, then respond by quoting this comment, so we'll be alerted that your position is ready for consideration:
- Links to the testing games you played in your position - we require a minimum of 15 testing games, which cannot include any bot players, played over a span of more than 24 hours, and must include a minimum of 8 different players (no aborted, or quickly-resigned games)
- Please fix this by adding links to the remainder of your test games
- Which gamerules apply, including promotion rank and options
Thank you. We look forward to reviewing this position.
Why does it have to include EIGHT(8) different players?

Fresh perspectives are the easiest way to find things that you might not otherwise see.

Hi EnterGame. Just a quick note to say we've begun testing (both) your positions. We've still got some deciding to do as a team, so you can expect to hear back from us in a day or two.

Hi @EnterGame (again).
We like what you've done here. The two positions are exciting, and (for the most part,) balanced. We're still discussing some issues we see in "The Center," namely, how easy it is to get mated. Through our testing, we haven't yet found a 100% forced mating line, but several where there's a forced-reply string of moves. So to say, where for 3-4 moves in a row, a given player needs to play exactly the right move to avoid getting mated. We discussed accepting this as casual-only, but in fairness to you, we're going to continue our testing until we can make a fully-informed decision. If you'd like to help us test, you can directly message me, @qilp, @boxjellyFishchess, or @6_K.
On to "The Center II," that's equally fun and innovative, on that one,

Okay, sorry for making you wait (again!).
We've tested "The Center" and I'm glad we waited until we could find some good testers. Unfortunately, there's a problem in the following line:
1.r Gi5 .. 1.b (anything) .. 1.y Ih8#
It's critical that Blue give a check to Yellow after 1.r Gi5, otherwise Green is mated, having never been given the chance to even move. Obviously, it's the nature of teams play that at some point, you're entire continuation in the game is dependent on your teammate. But to have that be the case in move #1 isn't acceptable. I may have mentioned this before, but there's more time pressure on move #1 usually, because if you don't move within a certain time-frame, the game is aborted. Thus, Blue be forced into making a bad move before Green has a chance to type or arrow what must be done
So, the good thing is we also tested with alternate teams, which seems a lot better. I'm going to add this as Red/Green vs. Blue/Yellow.
Overall, we're really impressed with the dynamic positions you've created here. Thanks!

That's why I don't pretend to be a dictator. Better decisions are made as a team.
@6_K, do you notice that you wrote "Team CGA" in "page not found"/"non-existent" style?
It is hint to CGA to create some topic about it
