when is it going to be dpruess
Contest! with Prizes!
Sort:
right now. there are matches this afternoon, so there are only a couple hours left to make predictions for the first matches.
as i was typing "friends" it occurred to me that it was presumptuous to assume people didn't hate me...
Give us one reason not to hate you of all people
that i like you :)
now, let's not let this thread go in the wrong direction; you're free to make a "hate dpruess" thread elsewhere.
join the contest! i've made my picks, let's see if you can call the matches!
Are there any eligibility restrictions. I assume if you play in the USCL you aren't eligible for this, what about team managers, TDs, etc.
Even Pete Rose?! I'm sure he'd be happy to be eligible for something.
bff I guess this contest is intended to create more awareness of the existence and playing dates of the USCL
blackfirestorm666, I have only recently been learning about the U.S.C.L. myself, so trust me... my selections will be further off base than most!

I took a look at the page that the link above is for and I don't even understand the scores (1.5, 2.5?)
you'll have to read up a little more if you want to understand.
the league is played in 4 game matches. every team has a roster of 9 players. each week they pick 4 players to play the match, against another team from the league.
there was also a link included in the first post in that thread that would show you all the board-by-board matchups (copied here). so you predict how many points each team will score; although the main thing is to guess correctly which team will win (or if it will be a draw).

Thanks - look forward to it (winning, that is )
Haha jokes I know nothing about chess players, let alone teams. May my guesses be humiliating. :D
No worries FM Kacparov! I made the deadline for last night's picks, and I think I got 0 right!
Make those Wednesday picks, show Daniel and David how to make the right picks! 
Howdy friends and not-friends,
the new US Chess League group has a weekly and seasonal contest going, for who can most accurately predict the results of the USCL matches. honor and months of diamond membership await the most prescient among you!
here's this week's competition thread: http://www.chess.com/groups/forumview/week-6-match-prediction-contest
any questions? just ask me!
