Better description of Team Matches

I just started our first thematic team match. A problem I have found is the only thing saying it is a thematic team match is the picture of the board on the sign up page.  It would sure help alot if the name of the theme was in bold letters on the sign in page and not just the board lay out.

The same is true when I have started a 960 tourny. Nothing says 960 unless you look at the board lay out on the sign up page. Most of my members did not even know they were signing up for a 960 game.  Most sign ups just glance at the bold writing and join.

Here is another problem with starting team matches. When I sent out a challenge and went to my team homepage to look at the challenge to check on something (on the team match page) it said admins are not allowed to see the challenge, WTH ? (H = hell)

I agree: I find myself playig a bunch of thematic matches and I hate such games.

I learn some surprising things from many of the thematic matches. I try to notice what type of match it is. I have had surprises. Mostly play vote chess at the moment though and don't mind if they have an opening chosen ahead of time.

It seems to me that the bigger chess.com gets the less it listens to an individuals complaint.  this is not meant as a personal attack but is the nature of the beast. Perhaps chess.com needs to quit trying to grow bigger and bigger and try growing better and better.
