So where do the Africans and South Americans join?  Maybe, since the non-US teams are hurting for participants, we could direct South America to help out the Ring of Fire and Africa to help out Europa.

Exactly. These are clubs not national teams. Anybody can play for anybody.

I'm excited to play a friendly for the Yankees this week (Dec 14 - 20), but it is now the 16th and there is still no game scheduled.  I filled in 60 choices - when should we expect to find out our time slots?

Do you not see a game scheduled for you in the game room?  I see one at 22:00 Thursday Yankee time.

I see Sconibulus has two games scheduled at the same time.  The only way I know of to avoid this would have been for him to change his time preferences after the first game was scheduled.  Clearly that didn't happen.
 
Perhaps I need to fall back on my earlier thought that we just can't have two events running at the same time.  When the World League starts up in a few months, I will not run the Continuous Tournament.  No hard feelings; I'm glad to see something new and exciting get off the ground.
 
To resolve the current situation, though, Nombril and Sconibulus need to get together and agree on another time for their World League game.

Thanks, Fritz.  It wasn't there when I posted around 3.30 pm, but was by the time you replied around 7 pm . . .

Hehehe, oops, well Nombril, since I'm at fault here, I suppose you're entitled to reselect the match time. I'm available at that time on any other day, and could start up to three hours later.
 
If none of those work well for you, we could leave it as is, and see how well I'm able to play simultaneous games... pity I'm the same colour in both, or I could super-sneakily make you two really play eachother.

I'd be happy to play a day earlier, same time.

Personally, I don't think you have to put the Continuous Tournament on hold because one person ended up double booked.  Off the top of my head (and being ignorant of the amount of effort required), either a. reschedule a game once in awhile, or b. see how tough it would be for the scheduling tool to eliminate already scheduled time slots.

Thanks guys.  I have moved Nombril vs Sconbiulus 24 hours earlier.

Nice one Fritz, sorry for not getting on it myself. Next time I'll check to make sure that none of the games I schedule clash with any other scheduled games. Maybe we can get omar to either add some code to the scheduler or give us a way of seeing which times the players have entered on the scheduler tool to help things along...

With only a month or so to the official start date of the World League, I thought it might be a good idea to slowly "iron out the creases" in preparation.
 
- Firstly, the Rockies still do not have a captain and the Yankees are a bit thin on the ground. Anybody volunteers to help out with either of these?
 
- Secondly we need to decide on how many games will be played each cycle. Captains, maybe you could ask your teammates in your team forums.
 
- Thirdly, and this is mostly a question for omar, is the scheduler going to be extended for all times in the week or is it going to stay as it is?
 
I know everybody is still busy with the WC so I'm not asking for anybody's undivided attention. It's just we don't want to rush these decisions, especially as this will be the first time for all of us, so your thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: Congratulations to ChrisB, the new captain of the Rockies.
 
All comments are still welcome on the remaining points. Smiley

We need to talk a bit more about the number of games to be played in each match.
 
A point that perhaps I should have made more clear, is that the number of games for each match must remain constant throught the entire league. The reason for this is that the points for each match are totalled on the League Table, and if we change the number of games for each match it will end up being unfair.
 
So basically we'll have to decide the number of games now. Take a look at the club membership: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/Club_Membership
 
I'm thinking it's safest if we say 3, and even then the Yankees still need a bit of support. If we have a lot of interest before the start date, however, we might be able to push 4.
