After the original successful event in 2006 the WBX team tournament is back! This year’s event will take place on Saturday, Sunday of December 13, 14, 2008. The event will be a team tournament where three players will be allowed per team plus one possible substitute. The average rating of the team playing in every round cannot exceed 1900! The format of the event will depend on the amount of registered teams but it will probably be a Swiss. In 2006 we had 12 teams and if we get a similar attendance it will be a Swiss as well!
Before you register a team please make sure that you read the full regulations!
