As noted in the last post, the Quad format (board for board) proved to be challenging (based on ICCF templates) for the first round so Jerry (of CCLA) lined up the first two teams that sent in their entry fee in an all-play-all format. We are still waiting on Greater Worcester CC (GWCC) to send in their entry fee - Donna assures me it's on the way this weekend.
The first match is Punxsutawney CC vs. Sven Brask, all-play-all
This will be a good way to cut our teeth. Once GCWW has their entry fee in I believe the next match is MetroWest CC vs. GWCC.
After Labor Day, UConn CC and other Clubs will get their rosters in, and we can start a discussion about formats, sequencing of matches, etc so we can try to get a ladder put together. Ideally we should be able to structure matches toward a championship format.
CCLA has a webpage link for the matches:

CCLA server page (top left link on homepage): http://chessbymail.com/weblink.htm
Link to Punxsy CC vs. Sven Brask CC (look toward bootom of CCLA server page): http://www.iccf-webchess.com/EventCrossTable.aspx?id=12374
Currently the public can only see the games when they are done, in the future we'd like to see the games with a five move delay.
This is great stuff, and after the initial matches we should be able to get to a good rythym!

I had thought that the MCC team would be playing in one of the first matches....what happened with that?
Let me know

Jerry of CCLA took the first two entry fees he received and paired the teams. I told him we'll need to control lineups in the future since we want to be able to create a system leading to championships.
We're waiting for Donna to send in her fee for GWCC, but I'm trying to get UConn to jump ahead and be the opponent for MetroWest.
Once we get a couple of matches under our belt we should be able to sort out a longer term match lineup.
