Phoenix Chess League Super Bingo

1.1. The Phoenix Chess League Super Bingo (PCL-SB) is a perpetual competition between chess.com teams. The games is inspired by traditional games such as the bingo (or lotto, quine, rifle, etc.). Participating teams play matches against each other to try to fill a bingo card assigned to them when they register. Points are scored by winning matches, and bonus points are given for filling the bingo card.

2.1. Bingo cards given to each team are a 5 by 5 grid with one joker square and 24 challenge squares.

2.2. Winning a match corresponding to a specific challenge clears the square with that challenge's code.

2.3. Bonus points are earned by clearing full rows, columns and diagonals.

2.4. The joker square counts as an already cleared square.

2.5. A team can ask for a new bingo card once per quarter.
