In general, Team USA Live has a more relaxed Notes policy than Team USA. However, this does not mean that idle chitchat, such as "Hi!", or off-topic conversation will be permitted. Rather, this simply means that on-topic conversation directly relevant to Team USA Live will be allowed.
The purpose of the Notes is to discuss chess and matters related to the group. It also serves as a venue for the admins to relay information to the members of the group. Team USA Live is a group that plays chess. As such, it is not dedicated to politics, sports (other than chess), or religion. Neither is it a social media website.
Notes should be friendly/helpful/informative. The notes section for Team USA is a dedicated place to discuss ideas, share experiences, and ask questions that relate to chess and the way Team USA Live operates in the leagues it participates in.
Finally, if you find the notifications generated by frequent conversation in the Notes in this club to be excessively distracting, feel free to turn off Notes notifications for this club. We do ask, however, that you leave your News post notifications on, as match dates/times and important announcements are always pushed out through News posts.
