Suggestion #2: Alternate colors for teams

instead of all people in a team playing the same color, I think it would be better if b1/3/5 played the same color and b2/4 played the same color. This would reduce the advantage the team as white would have if two roughly equal teams in strength play

I like this idea. It is used in all OTB team events, and internet as well.

At least 3-white/2-black is more fair than 5-white/0-black or 0-white/5-black

Yeah thats what I was thinking as well for the playoffs

Well chessguy will see this forum eventually

And I brought up the color problem in the NSPCL notes and GA said "we might do that for the playoffs"
