Re naming ur teams
Im curious to how many of u guys have had a Team name change at all through out ur time here on Gameknot.

Reason being i c alot of new teams doing very well & quite a few teams that were strong have just seemed to dwindle off into the horizon.

Have some of u guys changed ur team names?

The 65th square
We just renamed our team. I know of several teams that have done this over the years. We were The Oregon State USA , I wanted to change our name to something that dealt with chess. We asked the team for suggestions and decided on The 65 th square. One of our players had his web designer give us some awesome photos to go with the name. The Burnanators like our photo so well they took it as their own. I asked them please.. DO NOT to take our Team name also

You can read when a team was created on its team page, i.e. yours is the 1145th team, created on 31 August 2007

Won-Loss record
A very manual, labor intensive way to see not only your team's record against other teams, but also each of your teammates against every opponent is to copy and paste the past game history into a database application (I use Excel). In Excel, you can then create a pivot table to summarize the data in various ways. For you, vsopwill, this would involve 69 copy and paste actions - not too bad. Then if you wish to keep up with this data ongoing, you would need to append new games to the database as they are completed.

Like I said, labor intensive and not ideal, but it will give you the results if it is worth the effort to you.

Thank you Ro. We have enjoyed many excellent matches with your fine team. I think i will just make up a win
loss record..... as it will be easier and save a lot of time.  For example our win loss with your team is 346
wins and 0 loses.See, that only took me 5 seconds .
