ctcl 6

Big news!
Season 6 of the CTCL will have an exciting new structure.
It will start with a Qualifier Tournament on Saturday May 18.
lichess.org/tournament/e7GG0lPs

Only the result of your first game counts for the championship, like in season 5 of the Classical Team Champions League.

In season 6 of the CTCL though the average points per player are calculated.
The total score of the first games of each team are divided by the number of their players.
Those who have played at least 1 game, not those who joined the tournament.
In teams with less than 6 players this score is divided by 6.
In teams with more than 6 players the total score of their first games is divided by the number of their players.
This way big or small teams have about the same chances.
The team with the best performance wins.

There are a total of 12 rounds always on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
The championship has a similar structure like the Rapid League with divisions, promotion and relegation.
After this Qualifier Tournament teams 1 to 20 will form League 1.
Teams 21 to 40 form League 2, and so forth.
The winner of each round in League 1 gets 10 points, the second 9 and so on down to the 10th rank which gets 1 point.
Teams 15 to 20 are relegated to League 2.
The top 6 teams in the other leagues get promoted to the higher, the last 6 teams are relegated to the lower League.
As a tie-break we use the average team performance if needed.

Dear classical chess friends,
It was a wonderful start of the CTCL 6 yesterday with 163 participants!
It brought us many exciting and tough games.
The brilliant winner with an outstanding average is IOTEH Iron Rook, congratulations!
The other teams were very close together, many tie-breaks were needed.
Congratulations as well to the second rank Todo Mundo Masters and the 3rd Classic Chess for all, both have the same average!

Unfortunately we have not enough active teams and players for 2 divisions.
So we will continue with all teams in the same tournament.
Maybe in the near future we will have enough for that.

Special thanks to @Echecsetamateurs for his great support!

IMPORTANT RULE to be aware of!

Today in the CICL the 2 players of an agreed draw after 9 moves got 0 points by the system.
We and they were unaware of such a rule.
So we decided to give both 1 point for the draw since we hadn’t explained this to you.

From now on though we will accept the result of the games the system gives us.
It’s too complicated to check all draws.
So please don’t offer or accept draws too early in the game.

* NOTE: this rule is applied in Arena automatically by system.
so please be aware also that this will be applied as well in CTCL

Dear classical chess friends,
