Teammatch Tournaments feature needed!

Many Chessclubs already have joined lichess by creating an own Team here. Some Clubs want to make Teambattles between them. The Arena mode is not ideal for this idea.So to get REAL OTB Club Battle atmosphere it would be great if lichess implements the possibility where Teams can play with e.g 8 player on 8 Boards 1 or 2 games from board 1 - 8. Like it is handled in chess Bundesliga or others. This format would promise thrilling Matches and joy in these times where OTB has no place.

Sounds like a great idea :)

I support this great idea!!!

Very good idea

That's a really good idea. I strongly support the proposal. With this feature it would be easy to establish a team league on Lichess.

So if my kids are already in a team can they only play other members of their team in a tournament?

Can they join a tournament someone else creates outside our team/class?

I just wanted to keep it between two coaches and we share the password with only our students.

So I can only sign up for the tournament I created and the other coach can only sign up and register his kids for the tournament he created.

Something to do with the kid safety feature?

@MsChessNJ Turn the kid mode here lichess.org/account/kid

thank you! so in kid mode they can play other people in tournaments?

Yep, they can, but the chat and communication is turned off, so they can not be violated or insulted.

But I do not know how is it with the team chat (If they can read or contribute) And it has one disadvantage that you can not contact them trough lichess (unless they cannot read the team chat)
