Wonder when it will finally be complete? 6. май 2015, 04:10:19 Относно: Re:  Aganju: Yes, that also (and of course as long as he can not advance to the next round) - Currently Fencer does sometimes let pawns join new tournaments once that happens - of course in the case we are discussing now, they will be in the next round..... once it starts, which will mostly likely still be awhile. 6. май 2015, 04:03:12 Относно: Re:  coan.net: I agree. Sounds like a good idea. Or what about this: if the Pawn has finished all his game(s) in the tournament, he can join another one? It is not his fault that the others have not yet finished? 6. май 2015, 03:57:17 For this situation, in my opinion is that the best solution would be a change in the rule of pawn in tournaments. Current rule is a pawn can only be in 1 tournament at a time. I think it should be change to: Pawn can only be in 1 tournament at a time, OR if current tournament started 6 months ago or more, another tournament will be allowed to be started. Most tournament (well if you play fast, you should join faster tournaments) last less then 6 months, so when these cases come up like this, then it would allow players to join other tournaments while the 1st one finishes. Of course Fencer isn't programming much lately, so I don't think this will get programmed, but I think if possible, would be a good working solution. 5. май 2015, 16:32:21 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments  Hrqls: You bet! 5. май 2015, 16:21:24 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments Clandestine 1: lol! the race to see which tourmament will live the longest? ;-) 5. май 2015, 16:03:35 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments Променен от Clandestine 1 (5. май 2015, 16:04:11) Hrqls: The race is on! http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=12233&tri=70036 I think I too should live long enough to see the end of these tournaments, if this site still exists. 5. май 2015, 13:57:48 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments furbster: lol!!! i didnt see the second section .... there will be another round then :) 5. май 2015, 13:33:56 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments pgt: Exactly this is the reason I do not participate in gammon(especially cloning backgammon) tournaments with long time controls. It does not matter how many years it can take for a tournament to finish. You have to take that in account when setting up time controls. This is why Fischer time controls exist. Any tournament creator can make use of them. Anyone wanting to participate to a tournament can take the time controls in account. Less people participate in tournaments, because less people play in the site. And from those that pay, very few like quick time controls, it seems. I am one of those that try to create tournaments with quick time controls. Hardly any of them ever get enough people to start. 5. май 2015, 12:44:58 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments  Hrqls: Hey make that 6, theres still 2 sections haha, we could be here some time yet! 5. май 2015, 10:55:46 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments  Hrqls: Is THAT tournament still running? I was in that tournament and my last move was TEN years ago! How ridiculous that a simple backgammon tournament should last TEN years! With any luck you should be able to win the tournament before you die - is your health good? I actually think that for future tournaments, there should be a provision that any games not completed within 12 months of the start of the tournament round should be forfeited, and the leading player after 12 months should be promoted to the next round. Ok, I know we can't do that for running tournaments (actually we could if anybody had the inclination and initiative to take a stand and actually DO it), but maybe in future??? - if Fencer can "be bothered!" 5. май 2015, 09:53:27 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments pgt: ah .. i didnt check the results in the tournament ... hmm .. then its tougher indeed i am in a long tournament as well .. but we are closing its end ... and there are still 3 who can win the tournamernt, including me :) The first doubling cube tournament I am just 41, so i think i will see its end, before it sees my end ... and i am playing the last match in the tournament myself :-) 5. май 2015, 09:31:21 Относно: Re: long lasting tournaments Hrqls: It is very nice of you to reply in such a positive manner. You know why I am not a paying member, and actually I don't especially want to play in tournaments. The fact is, I CAN win this tournament, but only if I live long enought!! NINE YEARS IS A LONG TIME FOR (part of) A TOURNAMENT! 5. май 2015, 09:18:23 Относно: Re: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys beach: Thank you for your homily. You will see from my profile that I joined this site about 2 weeks after you did, and have been playing here for a little over 12 years. During that time I have had a paid membership for about three years, and informed Fencer that I would renew my paid membership when he implemented a sensible autopass feature in BG. Sadly, his response was "can't be bothered" so hence I have declined to renew my paid membership. Before you tell me that there is an autopass feature, think about how much better it COULD be. I am not actually fussed about winning or losing the tournament. As I said, I am 75 years old now, and if it goes on for another 5 years, I might well be dead, and then it will take another 7 years or so for me to time out before the next round can begin. In the end the winner will be the player who outlives all the others! What a great result THAT would be!! I am NOT upset, and it is not restricting me from playing and enjoying games. It just seems to me that taking NINE years to complete a Backgammon tournament, whatever the parameters, is just bloody ridiculous. If less people are signing up for tournaments, maybe this is one of the reasons! 5. май 2015, 07:22:47 Относно: long lasting tournaments the problem with this tournament for pgt is that he is a pawn (free) member which only allows 1 ongoing tournament so while this tournament is not finished, he cannot join any other tournament, unless he purchases a membership i understand his reasons not to buy a membership (read his profile), but there always 2 sides to something. to solve the issue i think you can ask fencer to be removed from the tournament, but i am not sure if that solves it a better solution would be to allow new tournaments for pawn players who cannot win the current running tournament anymore, and who have played all their games, as technically they arent in the tournament anymore but requires some development :-) 5. май 2015, 02:38:03 pgt: Those players play according to the tournament's time controls. When you signed up to the tournament, you knew the time controls. The fact that you have finished your games, along with the majority of the players and they have not, does not give you the right to violate your agreement with the time controls at the expense of your rivals. What you suggest is unethical and I am sorry if you cannot understand it. As a final reminder, this is a game site. You play games for enjoyment. You can resign any game at anytime if you no longer enjoy playing it. As beach said, there are far more important things in life than getting upset because a tournament has not finished when you deem it should have. 5. май 2015, 01:02:05 Относно: Re: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys 
This is a game site, try not to let it upset you, there are far more important things in life. Well I have said my rant for the evening back to playing a few games 4. май 2015, 23:20:06 Относно: Re: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys ThunderGr: "There is nothing anybody can do about it" - What rubbish!! There is PLENTY people could do about it if they had the will. If you had said "There is nothing we feel like doing anything about" I would have believed you. "It is all about what most people enjoy best." - I think I am speaking for all of the people who have already qualified for the next round, and most of them several YEARS ago, that they are "most people" in your context, and I am sure that they would "enjoy best" to delete the two players who are holding things up, and get on with the tournament. The two players holding up the tournament are not "most people". Reply 4. май 2015, 14:45:34 Относно: Re: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys Променен от ThunderGr (4. май 2015, 14:46:18) pgt: I understand your problem. However, since people do not like participating in tournaments with fast or superfast time controls, there is nothing anyone can do about it. It is all about what most people enjoy best. 4. май 2015, 09:27:05 Относно: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys GoodFoods' 6th Broiling Backgammon Invitational (Backgammon) It's 9 (NINE - that's NINE) YEARS (yese, not weeks or days - YEARS since the first round of this tournament and there are still two players playing THE FIRST RFOUND!!! 3. май 2015, 11:33:03 Относно: Need just 1 more to start Crowded Backgammon need 1 Battleboats Plus need 1 Sphere Froglet need 1 Knight Fight need 1 DeaD Man's GaMeS to StarT MaY 1 27. април 2015, 22:11:50 Променен от Antje (27. април 2015, 22:12:45) New tourney to sign up for in The Sunshine Club!

With that behind us, we're back once again to a clean tourney slate. Noticing a trend of a 2 player finish, If this year by chance we see a final round with only 2 players, the setting will continue to be a 4 wins match so as to try and have the tournament complete in a timely fashion. This years St Pat's Tourney has the best settings based on 8 years of tweaks for speed while ensuring a solid challenge to all players. As usual this is a prize tournament with 1 year Brain Rook awarded to the winner. The section size has been set at 7 people per section with time limits set at 2 days per move with vacation allowed.....anything more and the tourney won't finish before the 2016 St Patty's tourney. Though last year went really well, please keep in mind we've had quite the issue in years past of people using alternate accts (which messes with seeding) and not fessing up about it. Based on the results of THIS POLL, I'm going to be asking all such accounts (without an established Pente BKR) to let me know if this is a legit 'unrated' account or "other". If you fit into this category and I don't receive a Private Message explaining your acct situation before the tourney start time, I will remove the acct from the tournament. I'm sorry to have to do this, but please read the message boards of prior tourney's and you'll understand the debacle I'm trying to prevent. It's almost here! Do you feel you have the Pente luck of the Irish? well sign up and see how far you can battle your way through the grids! On St.Patricks Day (March 17, 2015) the tourney begins! My thanks to all of you who continue to sign up for this tournament every year! Good luck to all of you, I look forward to playing you across the board! PAST TOURNAMENT RESULTS! St Patty's 2015 WINNER: ???? St Patty's 2014 WINNER: Aleph St Patty's 2013 WINNERS: Aleph, Spavacz, RichardIII St Patty's 2012 WINNERS: Brf! St Patty's 2011 WINNERS: Brf!

Aganju: as far as I know it counts each game type as a tournament so if I start a tournament and say it has 8 variations of backgammon that would be 8 tournaments yet you would only see the name of tournament on the tournament page. << < 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 > >> |
