The 'ZETES April open slowly tournament (backgammon)' is still running. The winners of both sections are still waiting to play each other. All section games were completed weeks ago.
Both parties (loggerhead and NOT a floosie) have sent messages to zetes but have had no response, although here language could well be a barrier.
What would be the next step?
Also, as this tournament is still 'live' are any brain knights that were involved able to participate in any other backgammon tournament, or do they have to await the outcome of this one?
bumble: The tournament as you say is still going lol - Is what i guess is what has happened is when a round is completed (as both sections are) the person who set the tournament gets a message to create the next round and start it, all i can think is maybe zetes has deleted it or not seen it, maybe Fencer can access it ??
Also, if a knight is still in that tournament, they can not enter another of the same until that has ended (unless Fencer has chnaged that recently)
I will start the second round ASAP. Zetes is probably on vacation or something.
Next time, you can immediately send a request directly to me, of course.
I just wanted to post a reminder that in about 2 days, the ALL Checkers for dummies Tournament will start.
This tournament is for people rated 1500 or below (and unrated players - as long as you are not a very good player).
If you don't know how to play some of the Checker games, this is the perfect time to learn - while others are learning so you won't get beat in 2 moves! :-)
Side Note: Once the tournament starts, I will remove any player who happens to be over 1500 to keep it fair for everyone. (Since some unrated players signed up, then won 4 games and got a high rating.)
when i try to sign up for a tournament for players rated over 1800 i have got the message that the max. number of players has signed for this tournament. But....... 2 of the players are rated between 1500 and 1600! Is this a bug in the system?
If unrated players are allowed to enter, they may have entered as unrated then got a low rating after signing up.
Or they signed up when the had a rating over 1800, then quickly lost a few games sending their rating down quickly.
WHAT I would do is contact the tournament creator because they can actually kick people out of the tournament, and may want to if they want to keep the "lower rated" players out - then again, the tournament creator might not care. :-)
BBW-
I just looked and I think they are actually talking about 1800+ Backgammon tourney Number 10 (1 game each)
created by, um I can't remember this minute by who. Which was 'closed' for signup only 2 days ago but hasn't been started yet. There are indeed 2 players rated under 1800. But either of the scenarios you described could certainly have happened. Though, I also recall a bug in relation to this sort of thing being talked about not too long ago. Maybe this tourney was also created during that time? Don't know if that would make a difference. :-)
If a BrainPawn is in a running tournament, has finished all their games in their section, and statistically cannot advance to the next round, can they join a new tournament or must they wait for the tournament to finish despite the fact they can no longer play?
As it is currently set up, the pawn can NOT join a new tournament until the SECTION they are in is complete. (So if there are many sections, you just have to wait until the one you are in is complete - and you are not the winner)
And in case you are the winner, you will have to wait until the next rounds starts and then completes before you can join a new tournament.
Better system will be implemented in the future.
Meanwhile, if it is absolutely clear that the pawn won't advance to the second round and his section is not finished yet, he can contact me and I will mark him as "eliminated" of the tournament, so he'll be able so sign up for another one.
OK, the new tournament is not actually for dummies - just people who may not be good at certain games.
ALSO are there games on this site you have never tried? Like Tablut or Tank Battle? Well here is a perfect chance to try them because I allow unrated players to join also! (and long as the unrated player is not too good).
Pawns & Knights only need 4 free spaces for each tournament. Tournament to start at the end of July.
It must be a bug, one of the players can not have had a 1800+ rating lately, he won much more games then he lost. I don't think i have to ASK the tournament creator to remove such a player. When creating a 1800+ tourney the creator has to do that automaticly or announce it as a open tournament. I also think that unrated players never can join a 1800+ tournament because they don't have a 1800+ BKR!
What about Knights who have completed a tournament and want to join another tournament of the same type, but must wait for other slow players to finish?
Yes - until your section finishes, and you do not advance. However, as Fencer said with pawns, if you have no mathematical chance to win the section, you can let him know and he will mark you as eliminated so you can join another tournament of the same type.
Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my quetioning. There are two tournaments (one in keryo19, and one in restricted keryo13) that I have already won and finished all my games. Therefore, I certainly don't want to be eliminated from them! The bad news (for me, at least) is that two other players are still playing their what now amount to irrelevant games. As rules stand now, if I try to enter another tournament of either of these types, I get some message to the effect that I cannot enter because I'm already playing in a tournament (which I have already completed and won)!!?
Pioneer: "Eliminated" in only an internal database term and has nothing to do with some real eliminating. It only tells the system that the particular player is free for other tournaments.
If I start a tournament that has more than 1 section of players, will it automatically make a another game for the winners of each of those sections so they can play against each other??
what i think happens .. and someone correct me if i am wrong.. is that the next round will be created automatically.... but before the round begins the tournament creater gets a message to start the next round.. and there must be a button somewhere for you to push...
Thats right, Watson, if you have 2 or more sections you will have at least one more round after the first games are complete. You will get a note in your mailbox saying 'All Sections Completed', you then visit that tournament page and start the next round. Good luck :o)
all line games for 1500+
beginners line games 1500 and under
both tourns could do with a few players for a couple of games so if you wanna learn or take on the best now is your chance, thanks all, starts tomorrow.

Signups are being accepted at this time for the KM Parachute Checkers tournament. All players are welcomed to come and participate. See how you fare against everyone else that enters.
Actually I know that Fencer had at least for 1 tournament (the $250 Gothic Chess tournament) made it so the person ranked #1 was in section #1, rank #2 was in section #2, etc...
BUT I don't know if this was just a 1 time thing, if it is random, or some sort of pattern.
I think if you look at the way the sections in tournament are sorted there is some sort of ranking based on BKR.
For example if there are 24 people in a tournament and there are 3 sections. If 3 of those entrants have 2000+ ratings you will find one is put in each section along with if you had 3 under 1000.
