I am trying to set up a Team Match and was wondering if it's possible to set them up with a "No Vacation" option. 

Are only tournaments allowed the capability to be set up as "No Vacation?"

If Team Matches can be set up this way, I can't seem to see the option available.

Thanks!

Hi

I am an Admin of several teams. And have created hundreds of Team Matches.

Sorry about some of that.

But that is what happens when i copy past the whole screen which is useful in way now.

Hi royalbishop.  Thank you for your response. :)

But I was wondering if they could be set up as a "No Vacation" Team match.  I can't seem to see that option when setting up a Team Match. 

: Here are the options Options are in red.

Ok thanks, royalbishop!

See as Admin if a player on your likes doing it you have 2 options. Do not let them play.( As Admin you have the option (1st)to remove from the Team Match and they can still be a member of the team but do this only in this case. For any other reason this will be seen unfair play. Your 2nd option is to remove them from the team.

Now it if the other likes to have players that do it or let them join TM matches just refuse the Team Match.

The 3rd case is you want to play that Team Match really bad but know you are going to be busy and not finish you have to make a judgement call which only you can do here.

Ok, thanks royalbishop.

Basically I'm getting that I can't set up a regular Team Match with a "No Vacation" option for all players on both teams. 

Thanks for your help. :)

No problem. It is kind of hard starting off being an Admin. I was lucky as i was surrounde by a couple great Admins and a some SA's here.

"Minimum Games:

Min. # of games a player must have finished. This helps to prevent no shows."

What about unrated games? I want to participate in a World League match of my country. Does unrated games count also for the match count?

That is wrong. I only invite members that play several games and online frequently. When i get a player with a no show i check to see his profle as things happen. If it is an ongoing thing i contact them.

If it repeats after 2 Team Matches with same player well i remove them from Team Matches and if needed from the Team since they are not playing i may as well make space for somebody that does want play and will play.

I don't think you completely understood me.

I'm a new member and to participate in my National Teams World League matches, you are required to play at least 10 games. I was wondering if unrated games als count as finished games (for the minimal games requirement to participate)?

Hi Bobby,

I may be mistaken, but I believe the games need to be rated. :)

First i would check with the SA - Super Admin of "National Teams World League" as they determine how the Team Matches are set up. Not all Team Matches on Chess.com have a Min to play in a Team Match.

If i am correct only Rated games count towards the min needed when reqired to play a Team Match.

Me i would make the Minum rating 1201 that way you have to have played some games to enter the Team Match. And if your below 1200 then i think your not ready to play but need to learn more chess and practice playing it. Not being funny but if a 1100 vs 1100  neither will learn much from that game, it will be just a random act that will determine the result of that game.

Alright thanks for your answers guys! I know what to do now: finish 10 rated games :)

Great!
