Anyway good luck to all who enter! 1. srpna 2015, 21:52:15 Subjekt: Re: Backgammon prize to start end of August furbster: The only short, or shortish, backgammon that I will play is with a free prize. I just entered, and I noticed playbunny did too. Good luck folks. 1. srpna 2015, 21:22:42 Subjekt: Backgammon prize to start end of August 30. července 2015, 16:00:17 Subjekt: Fast cubeless Backgammon 2015 30. července 2015, 15:56:42 Subjekt: Fast Hypergammon 2015 30. července 2015, 15:55:50 Subjekt: Fast Backgammon 2015 19. července 2015, 17:05:17 19. července 2015, 17:03:17 Subjekt: Re: 25 brains entry furbster: I just enjoy all types of backgammon! 1pointers or 5 point matches i liek them all, more people tend to sign up to 1 point tournaments though and i prefer more competition. I will set up a 5 point cubed brain tourney too and see if many people want to join that one. 19. července 2015, 16:14:10 Subjekt: Re: 25 brains entry  furbster: I always wonder why many people make Backgammon tournaments with no doubling cube. Backgammon has a certain percentage of luck in it, which gets reduced significantly by playing for a higher game count, and the doubling cube is a critical part of the game logic. Personally, I avoid tournaments where there is only a match to one point, because the game is too much chance under those circumstances. Don't get me wrong - I am not criticizing you, furbster, and it's of course your right to make any tournament you like. I just see many of those, and I don't join them for that reason, and it makes me wonder why even strong players create them this way. Do you care to explain? 19. července 2015, 15:52:12 Subjekt: 25 brains entry 18. července 2015, 23:13:39 Subjekt: Re: Congrats Změněno uživatelem crosseyed_uk (18. července 2015, 23:29:04) Papa Zoom: Thank you Papa for sharing your winning with me.

That would work for me. 17. července 2015, 18:08:26 Subjekt: Re: Congrats furbster: Thank you very much as I am one of the three winners. Thank you for your generosity and setting up the tournament.   17. července 2015, 11:07:29 Subjekt: Congrats to the winners, of which there appears to be 3 Hypergammon blast for a rook! 4 months brain rook each! 12. července 2015, 19:11:08 http://brainking.com/sk/Tournaments

But I'm pretty sure that at this rate I'll be long gone - and holding it up even more! 7. května 2015, 03:17:48 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments  pgt: im in that tournament as well! Sadly some players have died! Wonder when it will finally be complete? 6. května 2015, 04:10:19 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 04:03:12 Subjekt: 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. května 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. května 2015, 16:32:21 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments  Hrqls: You bet! 5. května 2015, 16:21:24 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments Clandestine 1: lol! the race to see which tourmament will live the longest? ;-) 5. května 2015, 16:03:35 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments Změněno uživatelem Clandestine 1 (5. května 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. května 2015, 13:57:48 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments furbster: lol!!! i didnt see the second section .... there will be another round then :) 5. května 2015, 13:33:56 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 12:44:58 Subjekt: Re: long lasting tournaments Hrqls: Hey make that 6, theres still 2 sections haha, we could be here some time yet! 5. května 2015, 10:55:46 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 09:53:27 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 09:31:21 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 09:18:23 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 07:22:47 Subjekt: 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. května 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. května 2015, 01:02:05 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 23:20:06 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 14:45:34 Subjekt: Re: L O N G L O N G Tournamentys Změněno uživatelem ThunderGr (4. května 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. května 2015, 09:27:05 Subjekt: 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. května 2015, 11:33:03 Subjekt: 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 2. května 2015, 17:52:18 Subjekt: New tournament Změněno uživatelem ThunderGr (2. května 2015, 17:53:05) 27. dubna 2015, 22:11:50 Změněno uživatelem Antje (27. dubna 2015, 22:12:45) New tourney to sign up for in The Sunshine Club!
