You have a good point about the knights. A lot of the players in the running tourneys are knights.
I guess it isn't the last minute, but I like to have things done in plenty of time! And I think that if people are willing to play, why wait until the last second to sign up?! But people do..
I have 6 towards my team (SCRL) keep asking for more.
I do feel anything above 5 or 6 team members is a bit much mind you, especially when tournies also have 2 games even when only 1 needed (backgammon ones).
I feel all tournies really only need 4 team members, and also means 1 person doesnt need to get bogged down with games by joining lots of tournies just so a team can join
... plus these tournaments were created with 15 days to sign up (which is plenty) - but the previous had about 30 days or so (which is too many) - so it is also looking like it's comming down to the last minute which it really isn't (Yet)
Well you also have to consider that by now, all knights can not play (probable already in other tournaments), plus there are the rooks who are probable already playing at their own "game limit" and don't really want to join more tournaments, etc....
BBW, thats why its best to sign early. Most of the HOME teams have been signed up with at least a week to spare. But these latest ones, theres only 11 days left and not many coming forward to play.
Well something is, and I don't think its the choice of games. Even reversi 8x8, usually a popular game - I'm finding it difficult to get players. And I don't think I'm the only one because only 3 teams have signed for that too.
Well I ended up almost not being in a couple of team tournaments because I joined, then with a couple days to go there would still be 1 or 2 spots open - and I really want to play in all the team tournament so I worry.
I'm sure there will be at least 4 teams by the time it starts.
For myself, that is the only one I haven't entered yet basicly because none of the fellowships have more then 1 player in that team - and if I join a team, I want to make sure that we will be able to join. :-)
Fencer what will happen if you dont get 4 teams?
will you make an exception this time and just let it go ahead with 2 or 3, or will you just leave it to be deleted automatically?
Unfortunately there are not many paid members who play it.
I have a team signed up, i guess HOME will too due to you and Harley play it, but I just hope 2 more fellowships will get a team together even if all unrated :o) would be a fun way for them to learn it :o)
题目: Current Entries- 2004 Third Quarter tournaments
Dark Chess--------30
Extinction Chess---6
Gothic Chess------12
The Dark Chess tournament is going to be tough to win. There's 5 of us with 2000 or higher ratings. Should be a good tournament. The Gothic Chess tournament should have a few good match ups too. I'm still learning the game, but have had some success of late.
I'll post once more near the beginning of the tournaments. I think next quarter I'll stagger the start of them. Though I'm the only one entered in all three of the tournaments, it makes for a lot of games to jump on the screen all at once.
题目: One week until 2004 Third Quarter tournaments start
Dark Chess
Extinction Chess
Gothic Chess
Dark Chess has a prize offered.
Hope to see you all there. Last time I looked the Extinction Chess had six, so'd it be nice to get a few more. After posting this note, I'll check the status of enteries and report back here.
The prize will be a 1 Year Brainrook membership for first place and 1 ezboard membership for second place. For an invite, go to The Games Centre and post in the relevent thread. Good Luck to everyone!
Any one not already on a froggy team interested in joining a team? Mercenaries needs a 6th player for the upcoming team tourney! contact Goonerg directly OR go to the Mercenaries team and ask to join up!!!
Can this not be changed to 1 game each pair?
two games isnt necesary in backgammon due to the die deciding who goes firts.
And 8 teams per section means 16 games each, this is reducing the amount of players who can join cos of limits on knights who are paying members/ contributors. And rooks who already have many games due to large team members numbers needed on the other tournies
I will be running a prize BG Tourney for members of my board, the prize will be a minimum of a 1 year Brainrook membership, with a possible second prize being added to. It will be an invite only Tourney, and you need to post in the relevent thread on the board to get an invite.
Congrats to Arpa for winning my 3 pack Backgammon tournament... Again, out of my bracket, so thats good :) it was a 2 day tournament and still it takes 2 months to finish...
I have just started a new Backgammon championship for people with a winning overall game record. 3 days per move for fast players, first 20 people to sign up, and it will be started.
Go to the Team Tournament link. Find the Reversi 6x6 tournament, and when you get there, it should give you the opportunity to sign your team up for the tournament.
How do you edit a finished tournament tha you created to add the name of the winner? Its probably something simple I have overlooked, but I cant seem to find out how to do this. Thanks :)
Since the first team tournament is in the second round, and my team is not in it anymore, shouldnt I now be able to leave the team I am on? Or do we have to wait until the whole tournament is finished? Is this a bug? Thanks :)
The train has left the station and there is little appetite anymore for racket busting crusaders in search of a cause. If private messages to Fencer won't do the job then you have to assume it's a dry hole.
I just talked to people in PM and I see what your talking about now AD, but we got to remember we are playing games and if you can not win the tournament LIKE ME then we all try again and next time we might win.... I thought this was all just for fun, I have never won anything and I'm just happy to see my name at the top of the ratings at two different games :o)
What I'm trying to say is if there is people out there with phoney accounts That meens thay are not as good as their rating shows and I would love to play against them all the time so when I kick their but my rating get higher :o)
Ad: You have to stop and think if any pawns that you are playing against are phoney they must not be that good at that game so you should be able to beet them....... The way I look at it is, If I don't win the first round then I will get in the next tournament and try to win that one
题目: speculation = A hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)
I'd say that when someone tells you in a private fellowship that they ARE the QWERTY account, and then they send you a PM from the QWERTY, that is hardly speculation but is all the proof one needs. Unless of course you're not interested in getting at the truth.
I told you it's not a speculation. LJ told me and showed me he was using the QWERTY account. It's not my fault Fencer that you're too stubborn to believe the truth. Take it as friendly help
