This group is to try and encourage match play, in a similar format to that of the World Championships. By this we mean matches of a 6 or 12 game length. This is a format that creates interesting situations, as it encourages players to play both aggresively in matches where they need to gain an advantage, and defensively where a draw will help bring them towards their target.
We hope to set up some of the following, with this concept of matchplay being at the centre of them all:
A league (the exact format is yet to be determined).
A knock out competition.
Some form of ladder.....
However our primary purpose is to allow people with an interest in playing matches over multiple games, to have a common venue to find each other.
Finally it is a group where membership requests have to be approved, but there are only two requirements for membership:
A low timeout ratio (preferably zero)
An interest in playing multiple game matches!
