I think we should make it a pog champs format, with 2 games of rapid, 30 mins of blitz and 20 mins of rapid. We can achieve this by making a club with the participants, and making an arena/swiss with the required number of games or time.

I agree. That would be more entertaining than who has the highest rating

True... But I'm scared not everyone will be here next year 😂

Like what if elektro takes up Mongolian throat singing and loses interest in chess

Rip🥀 I need to continue searching through the hundreds of low elo accounts that messaged me lol

Avatar of LunarLightning

Lowkey the coaches should also play. It's called a team for a rzn. and then the points be added for a team total lol

Hmm but it wouldn't be fair because any noob that joins my team is guaranteed to win because I'm the goat

Alr then, the coaches and students are seperate. IF the noob wins he wins the noob division and if the coach wins he wins his division. I can lowkey see this growing to thousands of ppl where we can have divisions for every 100 points lol, but thats neither here nor there. Still would be cool lol

I dont think 50 points is that much of a gap that it makes a diff. Low elo chess is too chaotic for it to mean anything.

We have a couple of spots left lol. I don't think @chesssblackbelt would mind adding u. 50 points shouldnt make a massive diff
