State of the League

Thank you all for a great season!! Congratulations to Summer Pawn Storm, the winners of season 8!! Due to some unfortunate incidents forcing us to reverse the scores of some players, the standings were adjusted for the final week. Full summary of the season is at https://www.lichess4545.com/team4545/season/8/summary/.

As the season ends we typically have an awards and stats page. I need your help to get that done! Please submit any awards or stats to a lichess4545 moderator! Who wins this year's Giri Award, Marathon Man, Accuracy King and much more?!

For those interested in joining for Season 9 of Lichess45|45 and want an email reminder about registration you can join the mailing list here.

The mods have opened up nominations for the best games of season 8. We are still unsure if there will be a youtube review, but please nominate great games nonetheless (if no youtube review we might do something else!). Be sure to submit your nominations by sending @chesster a Direct Message with, nomination 45 to get a link where you can enter your nominations.

As you may have seen in your team channels there is an end of season survey. Please fill it out to help improve the league. The link is https://goo.gl/forms/8REZXcSNg7ZIRiEr1.
