Avatar of Billium248

Hi everyone.  Happy Memorial Day!!  Sorry my life sucks so much right now, and that has spilled over onto all of you.  All of the admins have been promoted to Super to help buffer the impact of how much I suck.  We also have a new member on the admin team!!  Congrats to Coopah who took the time to do all the math I was dreading and calculated the current standings / Playoff Pairings!!!

 

So here is the schedule for the month of June:

#1 Chess Unlimited (SVC) vs #8 Animal Lovers

#2 The Dark Knights vs #7 Wallyjack's Premium Members Group

#3 Burning Nuts (SVC) vs #6 Wallyjack's Wonderful Wizards of Oz

#4 Super Troopers (SVC) vs #5 Sacred Pawn Legion

 

Semi-Finals between the four winning teams will be in July:

#1 Chess Unlimited vs #5 Sacred Pawn Legion

#2 Dark Knights vs #3 Burning Nuts

 

The Finals between the last two remaining teams will be in August.

#1 vs #2

 

Sorry again.  Have fun everybody!!  Good Luck and Don't Time Out!!!

          If any group ,who has never participated in SVC games till now,wants to participate,then when the registration is to be done ?

        I suppose that the registration for this season is over !

When will be the next registration open ?

This season is more than half way through amrita1. We are now at the playoffs stage. You will get an alert for when the next season will be open for registration, but I suspect it won't be for at least 4-5 months. If you want to have practice games inbetween just drop a note in the group notes asking if any teams want to play a friendly game. All new teams must play at least 1 trial game anyway to show they can commit to not timing out before they can register. I'm not sure if you have to play 1 or 2 games. Possibly 2.

????? He (amrita1 [edit]) did not even read the topic of this forum! Nor did he read the previous comments. Nor did he mention if he was an Admin or SA of which team!

Having people come over......  Trying to finish this season. Have to keep up with when VC games are to start. That is primary focus as of now!

OK !Thanks  chess_kebabs for the information !

Also the suggestion of the practice game is a good one since the team that i am SA & i wish should participate in SVC games is totally new to this VC format !i agree that SVC games need a special  commitment to prevent the timeouts & such trials will be beneficial for any new team before it participates in the actual tournament ! i shall consult  with other administrators on this point !

 

 

Thanks

You're welcome amrita1. Just drop a note in the group notes, like I suggested, and see if any team bites. :)

Just one game left in the Quarter Finals.  If Burning Pawns wins, the Semi Finals will look like this:

#1 CU vs #5 SPL

#2 DK vs #3 BP

If Wally's Wizards win, then it will look like this:

#1 CU vs #6 WW

#2 DK vs #5 SPL

Animal lovers, lost!

Didn't you mean Burning Nuts William. ;)

It's not Burning Pawns. You need to change the BP to BN.
