Crazyhouse Team Battle

Crazyhouse Team Battle

EVENT
We’ll be testing out the newest Lichess feature, Team Battle, with two crazyhouse tournaments on Sunday, October 13th at 19:00 UTC and Sunday, October 20th at 19:00 UTC. Tournaments are open to everyone; the only requirement is to be part of one of the participating teams on Lichess. Time control is 3+0. Games are casual.

TEAM BATTLE
Upon joining the Team Battle, players must choose which of their Lichess teams they will play for. The format is a standard arena tournament with the exception that you don’t get paired against players in the same team as you. The score of each team's best 'n' players – where 'n' can be chosen between 2 and 10 depending on the settings – are summed up to make your team's score. Examples:

lichess.org/tournament/DKtJQn4X

TEAMS
Invited teams so far, we’ll be adding more teams as they show interest:
Crazyhouse World Championship (lichess.org/team/crazyhouse-world-championship)
The House Discord Server (lichess.org/team/the-house-discord-server)
Crazyhouse League Team (lichess.org/team/crazyhouse-league-team)
Chess Nigeria Online (lichess.org/team/chess-nigeria-online-cno-chess-club)
Lichess Bughouse (lichess.org/team/lichess-bughouse)

If you would like your team to be included, drop me a message! We can have maximum of 10 teams in the Battle.

One hour is too short, the fun will expire rather quickly so we need at least three hours to make an impact

We want to make it regular though without wrecking people's lives. Come back ever Sunday for more!

may be do smth like this for teams from zh league only? At the end of the season for example? Two or three hours

Hi okei, could you please include team heisenberg fan club?
