Best of luck guys..good work leoton

Suggestion: to minimize this challenge criteria hurdle, i next league when signing new players u can ask them to acknowledge that they will remove all criteria from their account on start of league start date and when all games have started then they can put it back on..😎
Or if someone do not want to do this (although its harmless,if any player other than league challenge u,u can decline) then it would be responsibility of player himself/herself to start him/her all games in timely manner(within 1 day of kickoff) so that other don't suffer

50 out of possible 240 group games have been already completed in the first 24 hrs!

We still have a couple of folks who haven’t started any games. I would like to ask all participants to ensure all games are started on or before October 1 to avoid any delays in our blitz tournament. If for any reason you can’t start a game against a player in your group, please send them a friendly message and ask to change their challenge protections or have them challenge you for a BBL-2 game.

Please see xapko87 post on this forum with links to all challenges for each group. Very helpful!

Thanks and good luck to all!

The second 24 hrs. brought us 50 more completed games so we are on a roll!

I noticed there were a few submissions on the website with incorrect entries (i.e. two entries had just one word “Yes” in there and I had to delete them as there is no way to determine a valid result out of it).

Please check the results page on our website to ensure all of your results were captured - if you don’t see a completed game, please appropriately submit those results on the home page and they’ll be promptly transferred to the table.

Let’s also make sure every player at least started all their 15 group games by October 1.

Feel free to connect if you have any questions or need help submitting results.

Thanks and good luck!

The result between Canada and JimmyThe Nuts is shown inconsistently.

Veggiepork - Thanks for the catch! Looks like this game has not been started yet as I couldn’t find it on ZE. Corrected on the website.

I would also ask everyone to do a quick sanity check of your results on the website to ensure there is no other anomalies on unreported results. I’ll make any necessary updates promptly.

Some people have not even started their games. Others are still in early moves. Maybe the concept of blitz is not understood? Would be nice if everyone cooperated! or didn't sign up if they don't have the time.

We are now at 80 percent completion of the group stage in the first week. While we still have a couple of games not started or in the very beginning, I believe it is a pretty good achievement. I also think there could be some completed and unreported games, so please review the table of results and if you are seeing anything not reported, submit the scores on the website. Additionally, if you haven’t started any of the group games, please get them started in order not to delay our blitz tournament.

Let’s exchange ideas on how we could make our next tournaments even faster and more efficient as all of your feedback is truly welcomed. I will submit another update when we have our playoff seeding ready.

Thank you all
