***
Otherwise
We thank no to games where the probability to win are too low.
We thank no to games that include conditions that may force us to not follow these preferences.
No player should need to meet any opponent with much better ratings (>200), we remove lower rated ones before the games starts or cancelling the games.
Games should preferrably starts within 7 days, except for the huge challenges that Team Europe is running.
We do not startup new games against opponents that we have too bad winning ratios against, at least not till we're better prepared for new games.
We cancel games where we are too heavily outnumbered.
Tournament games always have higher prio than games besides.
Exceptions from this could occur due to different reasons, circumstances, and opportunities.
The preferences above may change from time to time, but I will try to keep this page updated,
