Team Play

Has anyone ever thought of creating some teams for a team tourney.
I think two player teams would be fun.

I think that would be fun too but if you got teamed up with a bad
chess play say bye bye to your rating

Does anybody really, I mean really care about an internet rating?
Maybe to avoid losing oh so precious rating points one would not team
up with a low rated player. For instance, one could team up with
players they have played before and know a little bit about their skill
and style.Or simply by observing overall results. Anyways, I too think
teams would be cool and might even suggest more than 2 player's per
team.

i agree FOR THE LOVE OF CHESS and its PROMOTION i sure hope
something can be worked out! i like WINNING as much as anybody on
this site BUT i also ENJOYING LOSING!! i get upset about it tho.but
that makes me more determined to WIN the next time.! KNOWN TEAM
PLAY! THAT SOUNDS EXCITING! a real break from one on one chess
ANOTHER reason to stay with rhp through thick and thin!

I think a team tournament is a good idea 🙂 Maybe even a knockout
comp?

i dont think ratings would make that much difference! i have many
ideas on "how" teams could operate! i think it could be organised via
chat! for example. each nick could start with a new nick for the
purpose of tournament. everybody woud start at 1200. teams would
be published! that is say stevens and wannabe are a team! we would
then meet in chat and discuss the games. the games would be a
combined effort.!! provided the nicks were used for this purpose and
he results of the game were made known.i see no harm in this. a
great way to learn! TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE! just a thought!

perhaps it's possible to have a seperate rting system for team play ,
or no rating at all , that way all us new one to chess would have a
chance to learn from the experienced players.

i agree about the rating system! but that might make things very
complicated! (for chrismo & russ) unrated games arent available for
general veiwing! so there couldnt be any sharing of ideas! only one on
one! very private!

It is possible to make an unrated game public. In fact, they are
public by default - you have to switch it to make them private.

Cheers,

Is there anything with looking around at other sites & see how they
(successfully) have tournament & team play? Is it wrong to 'use' their
concepts (or that what you want of them)?

i think team games would be cool but what i really want to see is one
on one tournaments.

good idea about the one on one cup competition.

help! What's 1 to 1 cup competition? Always interested in what I don't
know...
