Team 45 45 League

One 45 45 game each round. One round per week. Round pairings begin each Tuesday, at 22:00 (all times refer to ICC time). You then negotiate with your opponent to agree on a day and time to play.

Before Tuesday, tell your captain whether you are available to play in that round. If you are not available, he should not assign you to play that week. Captains submit the team lineup to the league prior to 22:00 on Tuesday. Pairings are then posted to the website.

When the pairings are posted, sign into the Game Forum, click "Reply," and tell your opponent some times you would like to play your game. Offer at least three specific and distinct times, including a span of a few hours on weekend (Saturday and/or Sunday).

If your opponent has already made offers of game times, click "Reply," and either accept one of his offers, or make at least three offers of your own.

Continue replying promptly, until an agreement is reached. Once agreement is reached, it is a binding agreement. Use the "Post Agreed Game Time" button to enter the time to the automation.

First Contact Deadline: If you do not make contact in the Game Forum before Thursday 22:00, you will have to accept one of your opponent's offers, instead of making your own offers.

Contact-or-Forfeit Deadline: If you do not make contact in the Game Forum before Friday 22:00, you forfeit the game.

Once a game time has been offered and accepted, it is considered an agreement. It is binding on both players, and you must show up within 30 minutes of the agreed time, or forfeit the game.

Rescheduling the game time is allowed ONLY if the players agree to do so BEFORE the end of the grace period.

What time is it?

What to do at Game Time:

Show up on time. Set noescape 0. Match your opponent for the assigned colors, 45 minutes and 45 seconds increment. Play and enjoy!

No: takebacks, moretime, excessive draw requests, unwanted communications to your opponent, computer assistance, or outside influence.

You do not need to report your game results. Automation will collect your game and post it into your Game Forum. Check to make sure this happens.

Before Joining, Think About Whether This Type of Event Is For You:

This is a six week tournament (up to ten weeks if your team qualifies for the playoffs). Play one game each week. Time control: 45 45! Each game is played at a time agreed to by the players. You must be available for a wide range of times each week, to participate in the scheduling of your game, and then to play a game that could last three or more hours.

Forfeited games (such as not contacting your opponent to schedule your game, or not showing up to play) carry penalties that affect your eligibility for future participation. You must treat everyone with good sportsmanship and courtesy. Keep all league communication clean and family-friendly.
