Thanks for positing this is such a well-defined & clearly thought-out way. I hope they are able to sort this out, it would be very good.

I occasionally create Team mini-tournaments, so this is a good idea.

Running intra-team tournaments would be so much easier if this was possible. I hope this will be implemented.

I love it. GK, please implement this! :-)
As captain of the ChessDudes I'd like to note my support for this great idea.

Suggestion 1 should be very quick an easy to implement, and could be used by GK to gauge how many teams are using it, and thus allow them to evaluate spending time and money on implementing the remaining feature requests:

>> 1. Added option to "Who can join:" = Team members only

I support this idea wholeheartedly. I would implement it as quickly as possible if I operated this website. I suggest gameknot personnel to do the same. And now some words from ANOTHER paying subscriber:

good idea, but that's the problem. GK has trouble listening to good ideas.

Team Tournament function
...would be useful and would make the life more easy for the team captains!
My team has two tournaments so far, with more than 20 players each. In the first one, very well organized by FM Marius Ceteras (dracula2003), 6 groups were created randomly by a referee (also an official chess referee, IM Valer Demian - vdemian) to set up the "Preliminaries" www.romanianchess.org and than, the winners of each group played the final: www.romanianchess.org . The games were played by direct challenge, with a special title of the tournament.
In the second tournament, I tried to set up three groups, to be played like mini-tournaments, by invitation only. Was hard, since not all the players had a paid membership and we had to wait a lot till they finished the tournaments that they were playing. In the 3rd group, the games were played by direct challenge between the players.
Group 1:gameknot.com
Group 2:gameknot.com
The final (first three of each group) : gameknot.com
Meantime, some players left GameKnot, so not all the players from the groups could join the final.
If this will happen, the captain , will have to be able to add another player in the final.

I'm going to give them a little time on this...
Ok, I don't want to appear to be harassing them or they may decide not to do anything.
Right now, I think it's time to sit on it, while continuing to collect support from all teams.

I'll give them some time to review the suggestion, and brainstorm development ideas, and will contact them again next month to find out how they are getting on.

Thank you all for your support. Keep directing team captains here. This is building up our ammo for later on!
