Dear Super Admin of Christian Chess World,
Your group has been invited to a vote chess league. This league will match up 32 of the best vote chess playing groups in all of chess.com. The format will be as the following, the teams will be ranked according to a pre-determined formula. Then teams 1-8 will be placed in one pot, teams 9-16 in another, 17-24, 25-32. One team will be drawn from each pot for a group of 4. Every team in the group will play each other in a match with a one day timer as white and as black. Then with three points for a win, one point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss your group standings will begin to evolve. The top two teams in every group will advance to a knockout stage. The teams will be re-ranked according to their performance in the group stage, and seeded 1-16. Then each team will play each other as white and black, with 1 point for a win, 0.5 for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. After the two matches the team with the best score advances. If there is a tie after 2 matches, another match will be played with the higher seed getting the choice of black or white. The knockout stage will continue as such till there is 1 team left, the winner!
You can discuss the invitation together as a group, just please respond with a yes or no within 72 hours of receiving the message.
Hope to see you in the competition, and good luck!
