Hey all. I would just like to do a tad bit o’ advertizin’ here. Jus’ a tad. I am an admin of the group and we are currently at 63 members, but want 100 before we start. Now some of you are probably in the NSPCL. For anyone that isn’t that is the not-so PRO(professional online rapid) chess league. The games in there are all rapid, and as we know rapid is good for your calculations an’ such...but it doesn’t come very easy to some. There are people that like long time controls and people that like short. This club is for those who like to play BLITZ. We are still currently voting for which blitz control to use, so if you want to play 5|5 you better join and vote. Now you’re probably wondering “now how exactly is this gona work?” Well this is how. We are gona use the same idea as the NSPCL. now i know that sounds like cheating but people really like the format! So why give them something they don’t like? For those who don’t know how they do it here is a brief description. Players divide into a bunch of teams consisting of five boards. Board one being the strongest player in the team, and board one being the weakest of the team. Each week you will be paired vs a new team. In that week you discuss with your opponent when you can play, and then decide on a time. You will then go and play your game. (Games for NSPBCL) board 1 vs board 1 and board two vs board two etc etc. after a few weeks the top sixteen teams with enter the playoffs. A standard bracket tournament where the team with the most points wins. Each win your team scores = 1 point. When does this thing start? After season six of the NSPCL(the current season.) we have responsible admins from the NSPCL club, plus a few of our own to ensure your satisfaction. Now Ik 63 isn’t much. That is why we want 100 active players to make sure we get a good start. Now you’re probably like “ok, that all sounds good, are you going to actually commit? And if you are I have seen a link.” Yes we are. We are all active and online almost every day. Here is the link if you want to check it out. Sorry about it not being clickable. Posting from my phone here. >>>> https://www.chess.com/club/not-so-pro-blitz-chess-league<<<<. And don’t mind the pics. We have a pro on the job ( @Wind) who is undoubtedly making a pro logo for us. Have any more questions? Feel free to ask them here and I will do my best to answer. Or ask in the club notes, where someone who may have more answers than me can respond. Well, I guess that’s all. Cya ‘round!

I think I’m part of it already. Benji said there would be a “free” membership involved.
