To All ICC players

When I played on Playchess I was in a group where there were about 8 teams of 5-6 players, and every week these teams would be paired up and the players would face off in a game of 90 min. + 5 sec. It was really fun, and it helped improve my chess in the few games that I played while there. I'm sure there's many groups like this on ICC, but it'd be cool to start one up with people on RHP who we may know a little bit. I'd run everything, so you guys would really just have to play, but basically I'd like it to be set up like this:

8 Teams, 4 players minimum to a team. Each week team will play facing off 4 players against the opposing team's four players - Board 1 vs. board 1, B2 v B2, etc. (naturally, a team with more than 4 would have to sit some) and the results would be reported to and stored by myself. That would mean we would need at least 32 players, which I think is very doable. We could always shrink the number of teams though. Anyhow, if there's interest please reply, and tell any friends that you might have as well. It's quite similar to the RHP Clan League system, only with live chess instead.

The other thing I'd like some feedback on is the time control, on PC is was 90 + 5, but that's up for debate now. I would personally rather play 60 min. + 5 but that might make the games less instructional.
