Hello dear Lichess community,
I read through a few forum posts recently, discussing how to conduct team events( Olympiads) on lichess. And I had an idea of how it would maybe work to have really big Olympiads on lichess.org.
First of all, I don´t know anything about website programming, so I don´t know whether my idea can be actually realized.
The Lichess Olympiad will be announced a few days beforehand, so that everyone can chose his (home) country. When the Olympiad starts, the server uses the little flags from the profiles to divide the players into different country teams.
The tournament itself consists of a big pool, similar to the arena tournaments.
The users can join and quit this pool. But instead of the arena tournament standings, the flags of the countrys will be displayed. Once a player from country A wins, his win is added to the score of country A. Of course the pairings will only be country A vs. country B.
The Olympiad will go for several days, and at the end of it, the nation which gathered the most points, wins.
Please tell me, if you like my idea.
Have a nice day!
