Count me in.
How are you doing it.
Teams members numbered 1,2,3,4,5 etc and each team member takes their turn?
That way everyone gets to move. No passing.
1. Everyone interested in playing puts their name down in the thread. The thread will remain in this state for 3 days or until 12 names have been input whichever comes later. Late entry will not be allowed as it could unbalance the teams.
2. The 2 highest rated players will be captains.
3. The lower rated captain will get the choice of picking team players first or playing white.
4. The captains will select players one at a time until there are no players remaining.
5. No single player may make two consecutive moves or more than one move in a 24 hour period.
6. If a team has not made a move in a 72 hour period this will be deemed a resignation.
If we numbered the players then the game might get held up if one of them doesn't show for awhile.

Cor Blimey, we've a couple of Brits lined up as captains.
"Cor Blimey, we've a couple of Brits lined up as captains."
British people do not go around saying 'Cor Blimey' that is what Hollywood
had Dick van Dyke saying in 'Mary Poppins'.
And anyway Fat Lady lives in Oxford, (very posh) so his expression of
surprise will most likely be 'Goodness Gracious.'
Apparently I'm often to quip. 'Bloody Hell.' or so I've been told.
If I end up as Captain and Swiss G is in my team then 'Bloody Hell' will be the first words I do say.
Originally posted by greenpawn34Although I live in Oxford now, I was dragged up in deepest, darkest Hampshire, so my exclamation of choice is something similar to "Feck me old boots".

BTW Swigg Sandpit, sorry Swiss Gambit, still has a couple of slots left (1600-2000)
on the open invites. He is trying a massive simul like I did (Good Luck with that S.G.)
I've taken a couple, always an interesting game.

Wouldn't fancy my chances in a 1v1 though.
