| Entry |
Each team must be registered by a captain and have a name. We suggest teams create a fictitious name
unless they expect the team roster to remain stable across all time.
Teams may have up to 8 active members in any given month.
No player may play for more than one team in any given month.
A player may play up to 28 boards in a month and 56 boards over all time as a
substitute without being added to the team roster.
Substitutes are strongly discouraged in the semifinals and finals and will be permitted only
if it does not strengthen the team.
Permanent replacements will be permitted if they do not strengthen the team.
Team rosters may change without restriction at the start of a new event.
