Interested Players and Teams
Requirements
If you are new to TeamLeague, welcome! To join, you need a minimum of 20 rated standard games. You must have no history of computer abuse, and you should be prepared to commit to weekly play for about two months, in a 45 45 game which typically lasts several hours.
In preparation, you should familiarize yourself with the Player's Handbook listed under Documents. You may especially wish to review the "How to Join" section. You must run the command "tell teamleague join" (while on FICS) before joining a team.
Finding a team
After you run the join command, you will need a team. There are different ways of finding one:
- You can look for a team seeking players in the list below. Teams can generally add players even after TeamLeague starts, until a deadline for adding new players passes.
- You can add yourself to the list of interested players below, using the command "tell teamleague set interested 1". It is possible that a captain needing a player will contact you. You can remove your name with "tell teamleague set interested 0".
- You can self-advertise: Post tells to the Teamleague channel (101), or other channels in which you are active. Example: "I'm looking for a teamleague team. My rating is XXXX. Does any team need a player?"
- You can form your own team from friends and acquaintances on FICS, or from players listed under "Interested Players" below. Teams must have four players, and should have alternates. New teams must be submitted before the deadline for new teams prior to the start of TeamLeague. It is recommended that the team captain have some prior experience in TeamLeague.
