Maybe my Firefox is broken. But after making a move, when I click on "move to next game" I only get a blank screen. The web page address is shown as http://brainking.com/en/DoMove
(Yes,that is an old discussion, I know) Today I rolled 6 times 3-3 in the same game, the last five of them *consecutively*. Fevga (ksenofont vs. Aganju) (The game is ongoing, so no comments to the game please) It's actually not too useful, as this is Fevga, and doubles often kill you. Five identical doubles in a row do a great job in forcing you to destroy your position... Chance for this (3-3, 3-3, 3-3, 3-3, 3-3) are 1:60000000, so yes, that can happen. We'll see what I roll next...
DeaD man WalkiN: you maybe mean the pawn registry. the list of pawn users, who askes for a sponsor for a paid membership. for that you need to use the contact form and request to fencer to be listed on the pawn registry. you have the possibility to public a message, as far as i know... http://brainking.com/en/PawnRegistry

What happened with this tournament Dice Poker Tournament # 4 It appears that some of the qualified players were not considered when creating "next rounds" and the tournament is now blocked...
Hrqls: Yes, this is what happens when I do it manually in the database. Btw, there was really an issue with cron jobs and they were stuck for 16 hours. Timeouts should be slowly resolved (as I restarted the server several hours ago).
rod03801: I think he just forgot to switch it back on. He probably switched it off so it does not continuously kill the games he was typing into the database, and then forgot. But that's all idle guesswork...
Royal__Flush: I wonder if it's connected to him working on that tournament problem. I just looked at my game sheet, and I now have games in that tourney, that are my opponents' turns and it says " -16581 days 23 hours"
Royal__Flush: I know it was working yesterday but the only way I can see if its working for you would be to wait 15 mins and see if Beaupol times out as he has no more vacation time left.
Hrqls: Hey guys, I've never seen anything like this before too, so I have no idea how it could happen. So, to fix it, I must create missing 9 games manually, one by one. I can take some time because all parameters must be correct.
I've never seen this happen in any of my tournaments. The only two examples I've seen of this happening have been in tournaments that started a number of years ago. I wonder if it's been sorted now but might be difficult to put right in tournaments that commenced before a particular date.
rod03801: So you get a point for each win that an opponent of yours scored if you defeated that opponent? I see the totals now from your explanation. Thank you. And this explains the half point for draws, which for this particular tournament cannot happen. Yes, this tie breaking method is a great one for the computer to solve. Tedious and time consuming to do by hand.
As ThunderGr posts, Fencer should be told so he can restart the tournament with the correct people in it.
And instead it's 8-0-0? There's a ghost in the machine. I was thinking you should all have 9 of those S-B points 2 × 4 + 1, but I am not sure how it works. Maybe I'll read the explanation again. After reading it, I am confused and think you should all have 5 points, but that's not right since you all have 5 from wins alone. So I'm going to try to apply what I read and see if I can come up with 11 each. I do know that I am right about you three being equal no matter what it is if each of you defeated the other in a rotation as you have done.
I can't figure it out for 11 points. I'll stick with 9 each, but when I look at the Section 2 score my 2 × 3 + 1 = 7 works, but that could just be a coincidence that matches the correct score. I cannot see how player 4 Faith got only 1 S-B point though she won two games.
Player 1 lost to player 5 Player 5 lost to player 3 Player 3 lost to player 1 These three players won all their other games. I do not know how the S-B is figured, but it is my understanding of it when the conditions I just stated happen, it is a tie in S-B no matter how many players are in a section. A perfect example of it is section 2 right under it on the page you linked Pedro.
