Team captains can register teams for the Auckland Teams Arena using this form https://forms.gle/JBZGK42JBRh7pzmm7 – don’t forget to choose a short five-letter code, too. We’ll be using it in Vega software to group players and display the standings.
You can also send us promotional information to be posted on this page – use everything legal to make players loyal to your team!

The Knightmares
This team was formed right before the June 2022 event and won it on 15.5 points. They’re Po’e-Tofaeono siblings (Hunter, Grayson and Tyleah), and their friend Fergus Lee.
The Morphians
This team was formed from various players in the June event, a bit randomly, but their leader William Liu became the individual winner of the overall event!
Papatoetoe Chess Club
A famous chess club which needs no introduction 🙂
Mi Caissa, su Caissa
Our team name comes from a successful team in the Lichess4545.com league, in which I (Timothy) played. “Mi Caissa, su Caissa” (a wordplay on “mi casa et su casa”) expresses our shared love for chess. You’re most welcome to join our team if you’re a player who is improving at chess (of course) and does relatively well at school or Uni 🙂
If you’re rated 1800 or above in NZCF or FIDE rating, you immediately get a T-shirt upon joining. If you perform more than 50% in any of the ATA events for our team, you get a T-shirt. The players who accepted a direct invitation from Timothy to play in the season will also get a T-shirt. And there are more perks to come during the season. Let’s make the best team of the ATA!
The ATA “Mi Caissa, su Caissa” T-shirt looks like this on us 🙂
