Teams

The Blakenators! please send Ironworks an invite as well please...

-Are we aloud both teams?

Ironworks has been invited.

I will add The Blakenators as our 11th Official Team.  We are now all set for a 1 Conference format.

Depending on how many more teams want to play, we might be able to work your other group, The Premiere of All, into the 2nd Conference.  I'm just trying to avoid any conflicts of interest, as much as possible anyway.  It's good to have a team like this on standby tho in case we come up a team short somewhere.

So as of right now, the teams are:

We will need 9 more teams if we want to have a 2nd Conference.

Here's a list of teams that MAY still join:

Chess Mistresses - Diana_L

The Premiere of All - DanielBlake

European Union Team - Kokino

Greg said he wasn't interested in any of his groups (including World Chess Group) joining.  I haven't heard anything from anyone in We Chat Global yet.

One thing, I think that chuzzlechamp should be 2nd contact for Chess Empire, he's super admin (it's us 2 who are super admins).

represting chesss maniacs i guess

Falling-Upwards admin of Chess Unlimited

Ok.  I only listed chessboy96 as the alternate contact cuz he's the only one I see in this group.  I'll send Chuzzlechamp an invitation, and switch the 2nd contact to him when he gets here.  If you could, please send him a message letting him know what's going on so he'll be more likely to join.  Thanks.

Ok.  You're in so many groups I wasn't sure.  ;-)  Are you sure they're willing to play Speed Vote Games?  I saw this thread in their forums:

http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/please-no-more-blitz-matches

If you're sure about them, you can slide into Chessaholics Anonymous' spot since they're pulling out.  :-( 

I'll add you as the 2nd contact for them.

I'm Tony aka Dutchgalego administrator of:

• Chess friends for Friends
• Benelux the Leeuwen

and co. administrator of Team Holland

I am Superadmin of Kairav's Chess Masters, Superadmin of International Chess Champions, admin of the Power of Chess, and admin of Chess Unlimited lol.

I might join but which team should I represent!? Not sure though because I think I will lose on time.

Kairav's Chess Masters has 183 members.  That should be enuf to avoid a timeout.  Of course if you'd rather just play with Power of Chess and Chess Unlimited this time around to see how it works, that's fine too.  But we've obviously still got room for Kairav's if you want to bring them in.

My team will not play vote chess this time

 Sorry to hear that.  Maybe you can join us for the Fall Season.

Team Antarctica is finally joining and confirmed.

European Union Team - Kokino

Black or White - Kokino

Are not participating this time. Thanks! :)

Ok, it looks like there won't be any trouble fitting in the 2nd teams for DanielBlake (The Premiere of All) and Dutchgalego (Team Benelux "de Leeuwen").  We'll just separate them into the 2 different conferences to avoid any conflicts of interest.  That gives us 15 teams and 3 maybes, which means we need 2-5 more teams.  This is what it looks like we have at the moment:

Funtastic Chessmates?

They're #5 on the Vote Chess Leaderboard, so I've sent out invites to their admins.  A couple of them have joined this group to get more info, and from my understanding, they're asking their group about it now.  Hopefully they'll join, cuz they're obviously a major Vote Chess player.

Ok, Chess Mistresses is definitely out.  :-(

I've posted notes in several of the top vote teams asking them to join.  Funtastic Chessmates and Narz's People are apparently discussing the idea.

Hopefully we can get 5 more teams before Monday.  I'd like to give everyone as much time as possible to coordinate their first game.
