The role of captain

[XLegione]

The role of the captain: See WTC rules for additional responsibilities

1. There will be 1 captain for each team, they will be chosen by the players. The USA will have 3 captains, Italy will have 2 captains and so on.

2. The captain of the team will send the organisers (email, post or private message) the team’s name, logo and who plays in what period after discussions with team.

AN example

UK Defenders

Player 1/Period 1 - Stew101, Player 2/Period 2 - ianiow, Player 3/Period 3 - IMC (captain), Player 4/Period 4 - lydianed and UK reserves - Morat, Blagrot

3. The captain of the team can contact the arbitration committee (organisers + Slitherine member) in case of disputes or irregularities in the games.

4. The captain of the team can decide to substitute a member of the team with a team reserve or if non available, an “additional reserve” using Rule 6 as a guide. The change has to be communicated to the organisers before the match begins. In the event of no substitute being available a Captain must choose which period to forfeit and inform the organisers prior to the round start.

5. The captain of the team is the contact for any communication between the organisers and Slitherine. He will be invited to the social event of the group stage draw organised by Slitherine.

6. The captain of the team makes sure that all matches are completed on time (15 days for each turn).

7. A Captain must organise another team member to take their place if they themselves will be unavailable for any round(s).

8. Ideally the captain is the leader and coach of the team, his purpose is to create team building, keeping the level of the motivation of the players high, enhance interpersonal relations and positively affect team effectiveness. This means that the captain is not necessarily the best player in the team.

9. Captaincy can be changed by a team’s majority decision at any time.

GOT IT THANK YOU, BEEN NOMINATED AS CAPTAIN OF TEAM EUROPE, ORGANIZING TEAM NOW

Hi All

At this moment in time, I believe. We have 3 x USA teams, 3 x UK teams, 2 x Chinese teams, 2 x Italian teams, 2 x French teams and 1 x NZ team, whom we have had confirmation from

We are still waiting on 1 x UK team, 1 x French, 1 x Spanish, 1 x Chinese, 1 x Commonwealth/ROTW and 2 x ROTW teams

We will need confirmation and what has been asked for by 1st September, otherwise we will bring in new players.

This means we have, hopefully, 20 teams

In order for us to have organised these teams we have had to use reserves form a number of teams, it will also allow these players to play.

We should specify that there will be a reserve pool. This pool enables any team to use a player if required

We may well need the reserves of all teams in order for us to have 22 or 24 teams.

If we do have 22 teams we may well have a 5 round Swiss System, which will not help a number of players.

For us to hit 24 teams we will need your help. Quite a few of you are playing in the present Slitherine tournaments and or The Divisional Championships. Some of you may have already told your opponents about the WTC 2023. If not then please do so. Take note of the countries who are already taking part so ideally we would want players from other nations.

Cheers


Angus, Mike, Konstantin and Eric
