ECL2017 DIVISION 2

Thanks! Let's try to ask them ones again to accept it 

Phoenix,how do you mean let's try once again to ask Bradford to accept challenge for match against Prishtina ? The rules are clear.It should have started long time ago so now should be fortfeit win for Prishtina.

We are trying to be more flexible here. Sadly it wasn't possible from the start of the season to be more strict with the rules because it askes for too much work from TD and Anastasakis didn't have enough time neither I can not simply jump in and forse something different for the last couple of rounds. It is generally nice to see as many matches to be played as possible, not to give to many forfeits.

One thing is for sure, your team will not hurt anyhow! Either the match is going to be played, or you will win by fortfeit. Their admins are now contacted, and if there is no response very soon I will make a final decision.

Okay, we've all waited enough, Bradford vs. Prishtina match will be counted as Bradford loss on forfeit, just as Bradford vs. Minsk match, because they didn't accept challenges that were reported here.

Prishtina may cancel the challenge now. Minsk, too, provided that the challenge hasn't expired yet? 

Ok,Phoenix I cancelled the challenge with Bradford

Thanks

For Phoenix_Scorpion. Tirana-Burgas is match only for WCL round 8! https://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=782298

Ok, thanks. You have agreed to play separate matches with your opponent or this statement is based simply on the fact that ECL was not included in match title?

ECL2017 R9: Odessa vs Bradford:

Old version of the site: https://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=805264

New version: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/team-odessa/805264

Bradford did not score 10 people. The match should begin today.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully your opponents will agree with this. I'll remove the match from ECL for now.

Please pay more attention on ECL rule > "- If two teams play in the same division for both WCL and ECL they should play double match except those cases when both teams agreed to play separate matches."

Therefore, if you want to play separate WCL and ECL matches, you should agree that with your opponents and report it here timely.

@1707Di2001

Yes, thanks, let's wait a little more today if your opponents could register more players.

I will take screenshot at the end of the day so if there is no enough registered players for Bradford, Odessa will start the match with bonus points, if match can start at all.

@Phoenix_Scorpion, ok, thanks, let's wait.

@Phoenix_Scorpion, hello ! 7 players ... What should I do? Cancel the match?

It is already noted in results forum topic, in case that match can start your team will get +6 bonus points. I will send reminder to Bradford admins to either try to get 3 more players or lock the squad (if chess.com decides to make it possible again)

Well, we agree to wait for the Bradford team, despite the fact that the match was supposed to have started long ago.

Pending ECL R6 Bradford vs Team Barcelona challenge already sent...😁 https://www.chess.com/clubs/match_challenge/1409748

Thanks!

Apparently, Minsk vs. Barcelona WCL will not be counted for ECL, since new ECL match is open.

However, https://www.chess.com/groups/team_match?id=809500 - match should have started two days ago by match settings. Since match is opened with 2 days delay, neither team could have enough players registered on Start date, and match will begin as soon as both teams get 10 players registered.

 Sorry, Phoenix, I marked the begining for end of July, but it seems the system chose another date by default... I'll accelerate the invitation for our players in Barcelona and invite Misk to do it also in order to avoid to cancel it and open a new one... Sometimes the tool on the mobile version, does strange things as this...
