Why is the Team Match leaderboard so much harder to climb than vote chess?

have you heard of "the dummy group" its not really a group but you can challenge it and it then gives you a rosta of your teammates who sign up for active participation in team matches

this is a good help for team admins in gauging how many the team can field and you can then set match parameters with a reasonably confident knowledge of how many regular players you will field

Not 100% sure, but I don't think you lose points

OK..but how can you drop on the leaderboard without losing points?

Yes, I've already challenged them! That is a good idea, and we've done that. We have almost 50 players in that match, so we can definitely field a good team.

cool you now are a team id like to challenge soon , NARWALS  yes ?

ah yes that's the team , ok that's good will be in touch around the 10th

Yes, NARWHALS.

What is your club's name?

im from Kingdom of the Picts ,,, and we always love a good battle

Cool! So, you want to wait til the 10th, or can I challenge you guys now?

watch for the raven winging a message to you ,

we play one match at a time , to not overload ourselves , and will be looking for fresh battle around the 10th , I will send match challenge then ,

just a taster of what whets our appetite , but this is your thread not mine ,see you soon

OK, sounds good!

@DJM473: If your club wins a team match, it will get five points for each participating player, if it draws a match it will get 2 points per player. As smaller matches are, as higher is the risk of a draw, which will reduce the winning percentage. If your club looses, only the winning percentage is recalculated.

A won vote chess game counts 5 points, a drawn 2. You mount faster, because only few clubs play regulary and a relevant number of vote chess games.

Thanks Calbertois!
