For those curious here are a few interesting statistics about chess.com state groups. I'm not going to list the individual States this time, nor am I going to link them. Check out the spreadsheet here if you are interested. No new States have been added. Although, several changes were made. The most notable is that no longer can individuals be ranked. chess.com removed the "top players" section of a group's profile page :(

- Alaska is not a "new" group, they were created in 2009! It just took me a few years to find 'em, lol!

- Arizona changed their name from Arizona Team to Team Arizona

- Arkansas changed their name from Team Arkansas JOIN ONLY 1 MEMBER NOW to Team Arkansas

- Kansas changed their name from Kansas Team to Team Kansas

- Michigan changed their name from Michigan to Team Michigan

- No longer collecting data for Oklahoma Sooners [this is a college specific team], now collecting data for Team Oklahoma

- No longer collecting data for Pennsylvania Patzers [this is the first Pennsylvania group, however they are no longer active], now collecting data from Team Pennsylvania

- Instead of changing their name, Virginia Team created a new group called Team Virgina. lol, what a bunch of patzers!

Those are the changes I made to data collection. I plan to post on the chess.com suggestion forum about the top players profile option, and about adding a titled players profile option. I'll reply with a link to the forum post when I do.
