I'd like to participate, but in case I can't make it, for whatever reason, how does that affect everyone else? My matches will count as "resigned"?
Just asking whether it's ok or nah.

@roughnecks It's okay as the league will be in ladder format. You'll be able to update if you take new pairings or not and how many. If you started a game, you have to finish it or you'll lose on time.
I'm with @roughnecks here: I'd be in, but don't want to forget it and then be a nuisance for my opponent, or a bottleneck for the tournament or anything. But, just in case:

@jmcs By my design, as we don't have a proper time control on platform — we'll be pinging each other in a special post here, hidden from main page. 2 days / move but you can play whole game in a day if you both available.
