Personally I think there should be memebers and non-members, along with an option to donate more for those that wish to. I'm not sure why we need all these levels of membership.
Agreed BBW, as at first Knights were not going to be allowed to play in any team tournaments. Then Fencer decided to let them play in just the one.
I think the main problem is now the Knights can only play one team tournament, that Rook members are joining ones they would not normaly play.
This is giving alot of them alot more games than they would normaly play. After playing in quite a few team tournaments you seem to notice you come across alot of the same players again & again as it is often the same Rooks playing in them.
I know that the idea is to try to get members to upgrade to Rooks.
Is this reason really working do we know ?
We would certainly get alot more teams entering tournaments if Knights were allowed to enter more than one, but of course there is that magic 50 game limit to be kept to.
I would like to see the rule of having to have a higher then a knight membership to join team tournaments and also have the ability to let my tournaments run out of time, when they get deleted for not enough players, i find that as a double jepardy effect,what goes for one goes for all.DONE!!!
You know I liked the idea at first of having a limit of 1 team tournament for knights, but I would like to see that rules lifted.
The only problem I would see is if a team signed up a knight member, then when the tournament is about to start and that knight is over the 50 game limit, it would cause problems for the whole team.
But again, think it would be a good idea to find a way so knights can enter more team tournaments.
Ok, I see the Players Result tables now also. I looked at the tournament while it was in the "waiting" stage to start round 3 of the tournament, so I'm guessing that during the hour it was in this "waiting stage", that it must not have had that link.
... yea, just as I suspected... the tournament creator who was on the winning team plus winning all his games also has access to the site code.... Can someone say conspiracy??? LOL
I would agree that backgammon is the one game that can support a bigger team (possible up to 10 players), but on the flip side - it might mean less number of total teams.
2 games per opponent? Why? Backgammon is one of the games that does not really have an advantage for one player over the other, plus currently there are less and less players signing up for team tournaments (and double games may keep them away), plus with only 1 game per opponent - the team tournament might complete sooner.
Other then that, I 2nd the 2nd request for fencer to add the 2nd backgammon team tournament.
2nd request for Fencer - can he set up another one straight away (Backgammon Team Tourney) and make it say 10 players per team? 2 games per opponent.......???
I have 1 game left in a reversi 8x8 tournament, but my opponent plays once every 7 days. If I resign the game, can I sign up for another reversi 8x8 tournament, even if the tournament hasn't finished ? I am a Brain Knightmember. Thanks.
I don't think you'll see any activity for a while. The problem is that he is rarely playing, yet has 666 unfinished games. To me this is a mind blowing number for someone with a full time job. :)
For new team tournaments, here are some tournaments I would like to see:
Crowded Backgammon - A popular Gammon game, maybe 5-7 players per team. Need to get this one going since after this starts, we should be ready for out 2nd regular Backgammon team tournament (with 1 game left to complete) [name suggestion: Don't stand so close gammon]
Halma 8x8 - Not to popular, would not make it more then 4-5 players per team.
Anti Froglet - Some-what popular, could probable get enough team even with 5-6 players per team. [name suggestion: The Croaking Frog]
Halma 10x10 - Would stick with 4-5 players per team.
Line4 - It's an easy game which more "non-regular" players may play - probable could handle 5-6 players per team.
No harm done, UE. I was just pulling BBW's leg.
I'm not that strict as not to allow a few posts of good-humoured banter occcassionally - heck, I'm one of the culprits!
Steve started,i defend myself sorry my captain of nackgammon tournament,that is not off topic,why did you pick me? What does love in the air have to do with tournaments?
Again BBW you make perfectly good sense to my knowledge,sounds great and perfect as usual,not enough people give you the credit you deserve for your intellegence and wisdom.Your friend Mike.:o)
Please tell me, how the groups was built in this torunament - following after the strength of the player not only i suppose.
Which rating will be used? Because when I calculate with the actual rating the rank the groups must be built in another way. So what is teh way to build the groups?
(I thought I will be in the group with Ed Trice but was a little bit disappointed when i saw that i am not in his group - but as i told i calculated after rating rank).
So what?
I set up a Tourney for Fast Espionage. It will be a short one cause only 6 people can sign up which means only 3 people per section max. Try it out and lets have fun!
