Great performance Paul!

[@Paulw7uk]

thank you. overall i did well but my problem was I was not able to put a winning run together, so didn't quite get enough points for the team. if you win 6 then lose 6 you get more points than if you win 1 lose 1 6 times, win, loss, win, loss etc.

Thanks, Paul

[@Paulw7uk]

thank you for watching, appreciated. for anyone not aware these mega team battles usually take place every 2nd Friday, 5pm - 7pm UK time, they typically rotate the time control between 5 - 0, 3 - 0 and 3 +2, anyone can join in, just pick a team to play for, then whoever the top 20 scorers for each team are, you add their points together to make the team score.

@@Paulw7uk Nice I will try it

[@francescos.7573]

Has the team ever managed to reach 1st place?

[@Paulw7uk]

not sure. don't think so but not certain. I don't play in all of the events. In those I have played this 2nd place is the best team result.
