Sorry, missed that post. Trying to establish contact with my opponent now.

> Hello everybody!
> We are happy to announce that Season 11 of the Crazyhouse League opens 27th July.

> The Crazyhouse League will be a Swiss event between teams. If the teams number 6 or fewer as usually the case, then it will be a round robin so you will face every other player on your board. You will play one match each week consisting of 2 games, one as White and one as Black. Your team score will be the sum of game scores. The winning team will score 2 points, the drawing team 1 point and the losing team 0 points. Individual game points will only be used in case of a tie at the end of the season.
> The league is a team league since Season 4. If you indicate in advance that you are unavailable one week, an alternate will be drafted in for you. This should ideally be done by the start of the week (Wednesday). Only if no alternate can be found will the match be drawn. Teams will be selected, either manually by the crazyhouse mod team or by a selection procedure by the players themselves, depending on the choice of selection that season.
>
> Opportunity to register is open from 5th July and will close 26th July.
>
> To be eligible as a player, you must have a Lichess account with an established (non-provisional) crazyhouse rating and 50 games played at least. Players with provisional ratings are asked to get their rating established as soon as possible.
> Also you must have your Crazyhouse rating above 1700.
>
> Please register in this forum by responding with "I am in".
> The league is expected to finish by middle-end of September so make sure that you can be able to play all the season.
> You can register as a full-time player or as an alternate.
>
>
> On July 27th we will begin to form teams by a player-led selection procedure. We will also choose a team of organisers and team captains. Week 1 will begin on August 2. Time control is 4+4 on board 1, 5+5 on board 2, 6+6 on board 3, 7+7 on board 4, 8+8 on board 5

Two months to the day since the opening of the season, I write first and foremost to thank you, the players who have made it a sporting contest. A special mention to @Andrey_Timer and also to @posazh for completing all four matches and winning seven games out of eight.

Not all matches have been played, and no doubt there are varying reasons for this but a decision has been reached to adopt a no-blame approach and cut the Gordian knot by declaring all unplayed matches drawn.

This means that Team 5 is declared the official winner of Season 11. Big up yourselves y'all!
Congratulations to the 5th team on the victory!
