Clan Challenges: AVERAGE RATING

I agree completely, it would also save a lot more time for playing instead of researching.

No. No.

Why is it that everyone apart from one (seti.. thanks) wish to reduce their workload? If the job was easy, anyone could become a clan leader (.. and many do!)
I'm not afraid of using tactics.
If this suggestion came about, it would be yet another simplification, enabling anyone to carry out the role.
A clan leader's role is to lead, within the rules, by fair means or foul. (ish)

wrong, this option would allow even more tactics! you will have to work even more to get some edge in the challenge!

Sounds like a great idea... It will take away the sneaky advantage of those who loose all games except clan games, I have come across many.

post the tournament rating in red ink next to the black currrent rating...let the leader choose between the two.

Yes that's a great idea,
A clan challenged us this week, it was the perfect example!
Its name was Amsterdam 🙂)))

In that case the average rating should be totally left out..
Not giving the 'less devoted' leaders the option to look at any average!

I do research on the various members and I do have members who vary in rating. I still try to be fair in terms of setting equally strong players at the boards.

Yes it will be easier with tournament ratings and I support the idea. But it will not be brainless click and be happy, since you have still to look up the merits of the players to see where you are.

For me it would actually be more helpful to highlight at the challneg part the time settings and probbaly to allow to alter these.

Gets my approval. It would save time and effort for chess rather than research (Which is why we are all here!)

Some of us need all the time we can get to practice!

Excellent idea!

Count me in, Patrick. I tend to analyse the individuals, and as has been pointed out, this does take time. It would be good to have a fairer system in place, wherein some clan leaders wouldn't be able to play on the fact that many leaders don't check the ratings individually.

Excellent suggestion! 🙂

Right now, the current ratings of players are used to set up challenges..
Many Clan Leaders look purely at this: bouncing challences when they feel that the average rating of the other clan is not matching their own, without looking at past performance of the individuals..

For tournaments there was already an adjustment in calculating the tournament e ...[text shortened]... ch is far from their true average level of play..

Look forward to your feedback on this one!
