MadMonkey: Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad that it wasn't the late hour that was contributing to my lack of comprehension on this tournament. If Fencer checks this out, the question is why can't player 7 play 9? Answer: probably bug.

emmett: Now, i have never seen that before

Have to wait for Fencer on that one i reckon. A complete 20 player Tournament, that is not complete LOL, thats funny, less game you have to play anyway emmett lol

MadMonkey: I fixed it. Sorry about the faulty link. Thanks MM

emmett: Can not read it emmett, it takes me to Message Box

In this tournament why isn't player 7 able to play player 9?

Fencer, Pioneer54, volant and joshi tm: Could we have the choice of all 3.
Random could be default, then the way it is now and also the way Pioneer has it (1-5 3-7 2-6 4-8) which is fairer and the one i think would be me popular

joshi tm: I received many complaints when the first tournaments had been released with random seedings.
But it can be done as an option.

Pioneer54: Interesting. But the seedings are like in a Tennis tournament. Should be like Football, just at random.

Fencer: then why should lower ranked players even bother to play in these tournaments?

Fencer:

"the ideal form of the last rounds should be 1-4 3-2 or 1-8 5-4 3-6 7-2."

This is from the notes blog, and has been in practice from quite some time, but I have never thought it made any sense. You can have the top players meet in the final round (in theory), but why should the second-highest rated player get the bottom slot? Rather, it could be:

1-3 2-4 or 1-4 2-3 for 4 players, and
1-5 3-7 2-6 4-8,

which would still permit the top two seeds to meet in the "finale"

"Snoopy": I know it wasnt, i was just jesting with you

Fencer: okay thanks

"Snoopy": The point is to get the top players to the final rounds. I will make a note about it in the blog later today.

Oceans Apart:
yes but thats not the point im making i would like to know how seedings are worked out for future reference

"Snoopy": lol, your dooooooooooooooomed lol

how are they worked out
for instant in this tournament
one day only single elimination
i got drawn against the top player hardly seems fair

cool,I appreciate your help

Jim Dandy: Plus I believe you can still edit the start date settings before the tournament starts. So if you see that it is about to be deleted, you can edit the tournament to another date to give more time for people to sign in.

coan.net: Thanks for the info,i'm new to setting up tournaments.I'll try it again with your tip in mind

purplehawke: To learn more about the different time limits, check out this article: http://brainrook.com/archives/54-Time-limit-for-games-on-BrainKing.html

I've wrote it up awhile back since the fischer clock games can really fool many people - heck, I don't even sign up for those types of games anymore. Anyway, I tried to explain with examples in the article and many have found it very helpful in explaining how the different time limits work.

Jim Dandy: Did you set the option of "Days after the deadline before a tournament with not enough players is deleted:" to 7 days, or 29 days (with I think 29 days is the max)? Of course now that it is deleted, there is no way to check I don't think.

Games will start as they fill up.

I was wondering why the tournament I had posted was deleted.It didn't fill in the original time,but was only 7 days over.I have seen tournaments waiting to be filled into the third week and they are still listed.

purplehawke: It makes sense but you don't understand Fischer's clock. The game started 30 days ago, now it timeouts.
