Tuesday: Sure. I am in a few fellowships that do tournaments like that, so I know it is possible. I think if you just set it up, and say that the prize is 200 brains, and PM Fencer, he will make sure it happens. Maybe one of the Big/Little Bosses who set up those types of tournaments frequently will clairify, here.

FrancescoLR: Oups, i didn't see that. Sorry for the message and, this way, i agree with you, Francesco. ;)

St Patty's 2009!

ONLY 6 SLOTS left! and
ONLY 4 HOURS LEFT TO SIGN UP!

Keeping with tradition I've got another St Patricks Day Tournament out there but I'm changing things up a bit this time.

Only 64 people will be allowed into this years tournament since it's Single Elimination with a '2 wins to advance' match format. The Single Elimination is an experiment to make things more head to head and skill centric, hopefully taking away the random advantage a player can sometimes get over another in a section. (for example: where a player times out in just one game and gives an advantage to one of two other equal players.)

I'm keeping the same time limits as last years (2 days per move with vacation allowed) since that seemed to work rather well. Cash prizes are kind of a pain for Fencer to deal with so I've decided to set the prize as one year Brain Rook (approximately 50$ US value).

So you have to ask yourself, do you feel you have the pente luck of the Irish? well sign up and see how far you can make it through the grid! On St. Patricks Day (March 17, 2009) the tourney begins! Good luck to all players, I look forward to playing you across the board!

As Old Red alway's GOD BLESS

FrancescoLR: I no the time you have to spend because i had to do the same & that is just on smaller tournament's..lol I have heard of a black book before,,,,,but black list is a new one on me,,,,so i am going to add that in my book GOOD Luck my friend because you well desire it for running tournament that size.


As old RED alway's said GOD BLESS

MadMonkey: True, you would be a worthy recipient my friend.

Dolittle: I know you are most sociable , you are already a black Rook anyway. Still u could always win it for me lol

MadMonkey: I understand that completely monkeyman and I have left those inactive fellowships. I see no point in joining if you are not going to participate. Another thing I don't care for on those is that they are random games. I only join ones that I know the game I will be playing as I don't know how to play a lot of the games, i,e, chess for one and there are many versions of that. Sorry if I seem antisocial or something....I am not!!

Can be started at anytime now. or it could go until starting time

that bring's ?'s now :))


Who is gong to win it


And when is going to start


But what ever happen's


ENJOY IT & HAVE FUN PLAYING IN IT


As old RED alway's said GOD BLESS

I´ve been looking into the fellowships, but they were not for me. One like line games, which I don't. The 2:nd one got globe images spinning around (disturbs my eyes) and the third one is a bit scary
;-) so I'll have to find some other tournament to join instead

"GERRY": lol, does not bother me at all, i only joined to answer your question

MadMonkey: Would you feel better if i un blocked you lol :))) so you care lol:))

MadMonkey: Thanks for jioining & have fun:)))

Snoopy: Thank's snoopy. The one by one is working very well for me now.And i am enjoying all my tournament's with my play fare rules Enjoy your day & have fun:)))

"GERRY": Well i have just joined one of your Tournaments and you have me blocked (who knows why ? and who cares anyway ? lol) so i guess Snoopy is correct

"GERRY": unfortunately

MadMonkey: I agree with you there..I have a ? for you if you have a player on block can they enter in your tournaments:))

Dolittle: True littleone, but then as lots of people join Fellowships and never take an active role in them i would say it was worth the joining

"GERRY": Of course he has a choice. As it is by invite only it does not have to be in a Fellowship. He invites who ever he wishes to play

Dolittle: I don't think he has any other choice other than do it that way because of all the unwanted players.They can flood your tournament & other way's.It is alot of work removing player's from a tournament's one by one.:))

FrancescoLR: What a shame that such a nice prize tournament has the restriction that you have to join a fellowship in order to play. Sorry but I guess I will miss out on it.

As Old Red alway's said GOD BLESS

"GERRY": OK enough

Snoopy was just pointing out that what Marshmud was saying, is that there are many Members here who provide prizes for tournaments in Fellowships but do not go about the site telling everyone.

The same as there are many here who pay for others memberships etc... some people just like to do it privately.

"GERRY": no he not on the wrong board he was asking you a question about what you posted on this board
there are at least 5 private fellowships (properly more) that run regular prize tournaments

but many of us dont broadcast it on public boards

Snoopy: Than i would say he is on the wrong board to say anything.LOL & i have not seen this private fellowship board yet:)))

"GERRY": i think what Marshmud is saying there are many prize and brains tournaments running in private fellowships

Marshmud: I have only been back here for awhile.I do not use names of anyone.As of right now i see 6 .Where are all these many you say there is? There will be more coming from me which will be in my fellowship which is open to everyone.

Marshmud: yes there is
its just alot of ppl dont like to braodcast it

"GERRY":
Who are the 2 people you speak of who help support the site with prize tournaments? I know many more then 2.

I made 5 of the "quick start" Dice Chess 10x10 tournaments
