thought I'd give a bit of an update here.....our 1600 - 1800 game needs at least 1 more player and then we can start it.....our 1400 - 1600 players are gung-ho to play but Collective has not responded with any players...( I'll be looking for a replacement game)....900 - 1200 players are ready and again Collective hasn't replied ( I will be looking for a new match for you)....1800-2200 have no respondents either side ( I'll give it a day but again it's the group called Collective and they haven't signed anyone up)......I think folks that our reputation for being hardcore players( trained by the best GM anyone would ever want) has preceeded us and teams are afraid .....very very afraid.....muh ha ha!!!!!!!

Welcome Saeed!
Hello to all our newest members I have missed your joining and I apologize....I'm kind of caught up in too many tournaments....right now we have 7 team matches going on and it was recommended that a couple of those finish up before I look for more.....so as soon as possible I will have matches for all those who are not currently playing.....untill then take care , be safe, and have fun!.....Kim
Team 54 has challenged us to another team match....I've explained that we want ones closer in ratings and they have agree we will work it out before locking the teams.....so what we need is 5 players who are not in a match at the moment to offer to play.....maybe some of our newest members would like to join this match...anyhow I'll be watching to see who does sign up and then making sure the ratings are more even then our last match against them.....ty.....Kim
thankyou to the 5 players that joined our newest match against team 54.....its far more of a close match and now that I know the admins well they have agreed to no more of these outrageous differences in rating type games.....they are a good bunch of people and I hope everyone has enjoyed their games against them.....gl to the new team 54 vs team match central players......
update: for a new team we have a good variety of players and I keep watch on the games and we're doing well ....I do have a question for those in a 2 player game as to whether or not you feel more pressure to win your games because of the draw factor (an even # of players)....personally I feel that an odd number of players seems best and with our active participant rate going up I don't think I will accept any challenge below 5 players.....anyone having feed back let me know.
in conclusion I am proud of our Team and its players and have seen that everyone is doing a great job....my hope is your having fun while doing it 
....TC and hagd.....Kim
I have a question for Joe....earlier when the group was new you had said not to have too many games on the go as we need to discuss the current ones when they were done......what exactly did you mean by discuss plz?.....Kim
Hello peeps.....we have a couple new matches being arranged....Close match 2 against team 54 ;they really want to play some of our highest rated players so if a few of those up there would join the match it would be greatly appreciated.....for everyone's information any matches I set up has to have closely rated players so if you want to play in a match don't look at the opponents ratings as I arrange with them to pull their players untill wa have an even match.....they are a larger group so its not very hard for them to arrange it.
No One Will ever play against another player that is < than 100 points (unless they chose to do so)....feel free to join a match as it will be arranged to be relatively equal or it will be cancelled. TY and have a good day/afternoon/evening.......
This game is waiting for at least one extra player rated between 1600-1800
For now we have two opponents and only singh_is_king03 playing
