For all Swiss team games, only one pair needs to register for their team for the event. If you are a single or a pair looking to play in a Team event send Goldie Nabatoff a note at nabatofr@bellsouth.net. Please include your email address; the system you play, how many master points you have and the date you are looking to play. Goldie will match you with others looking to play.

In 8 is enough game, sum of team's points must be <=8 based on the following masterpoint categories:
<500 mp = 1, 500-2000 mp = 2, >2000 = 3. For example, a pair of 3's will have to play with a pair of 1's. A team of four 2's is OK.
