One week away from the Big Bash! 35 have already signed up and this promises to be a Killer of a Backgammon tournament. Get a seat while you can. And remember to Take No Prisoners!
Yea, Currently #38 of my "Fast start Backgammon" tournament is up now - and I know I was at least at 40... if not #41 yesterday... :-) Plus all my posts are gone, etc.... :-(
The Spring 2003 open Pente-Keryo Pente championship (Pente),its finished in all sections, but Gary Barnes didnt login since 2aug, Fencer can you help to continue teh tournament??
Deadline is August 17, just two days away! We have 38 participants so far which already makes a whopping good tournament but late-comers are welcome so please sign up if you get the urge. TNP
The games from the Battleboats #7 - you have already played all the games from that tournament - and currently there is 1 game left in that section (both players looking for last boat) - and once that last game is done in the section, you are allowed to enter a new tournament.
If you do not want to wait for that last battleboat game to be complete, you can send a nice message to Fencer and ask him to allow you to enter your next tournament since you have finished all the games in the Battleboat #7 tournament.
Starts in 2 days and we have 2 openings. Strap on your helmets for we have the best checker players on the site ready to go. There is no restriction on who can play but there are 7 players entered rated above 2000. Message me for an invite.
Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for this Super Bowl of checker tournaments. It's your chance to play the finest players on Brain King. Anyone can win but at the very least you stand to learn something about this great game.
I reported that the KM Backgammon Open would be closed on the 17th (that was yesterday), then went to close it and discovered what I've always suspected: I'd lose my nose if it wasn't attached!!! The tournament is STILL open for seating and closes on Aug 27. So far we have 40 signed up which means it's gonna be exciting. Please join us if Backgammon is your game or if you are impulsive. lol. TNP
While waiting for the first to chug along a second Halma Tournament is about to begin. We have 19 players ready and we start in 2 days. We will close at 24 players so if you are interested send a message for an invite. Thanks.
I have the following limits in a invite only tournament.
Minimum number of players: 4
Maximum number of players: unlimited
Maximum number of players per section: 5
Currently there are 6 people signed.
What happens to the odd number if the minimum of 4 is not met for two sections?
Also how does the tourney-bot sort who plays in what section? Is it by rating or some other form of black magic??? LOL
Here is the tourney addy:

unacanta: Minimum numbers of players is how many you need to start the tournament, which you have 6.
You have not got a maximum for the tounament only for each section.
The way is stands as the moment it should create 2 sections of 3 players :)
There is about a week left to sign up for the second "All games for dummies" - which is for players rated under 1500, and unrated players.... as long as the unrated players are not "too good".
This is the perfect tournament to try new & different games. You can play without too much worry about being "killed" right away by an expert player.
Before the Gothic Chess Prize Tournament (the $250 one) it was completely random. Now, i think it does someting like this:
The highest rated player is put into section 1.
The next highest rated player into section 2.
etc, etc (as many sections as there are)
I'm not sure if it keeps going like that to fill all the spots, or if it's random at some point, but if you look at some recent tournaments, you'll notice the highest rated players are generally at the top of the section, and the lower rated players are at the bottom.
3 days left until the KM Backgammon Open deadline. 46 so far will be participating in this Backgammon super splash and all comers are welcome so I urge you to join the fun. :o)
1) The tournament creator is the tournament ruler. He/she can apply any additional rules on the particular tournament. Whoever does not like it, can easily sign up for another tournament.
2) The site owner [myself] will never solve any problems or arguments among tournament creators and their players.
I am curious as to what #1 means??? What are some possible additional rules that could be added? I only ask, because this sounds like it could add some interesting aspects to some tourneys..
Though, it seems in all fairness, these additional rules should be known right up front, from the beginning. It doesn't seem like it would be fair to add additional rules in the middle of a tourney..
Just curious..
For example, the creator can decide that each chess game must start with accepted king's gambit or the tourmament is open for hungarian residents only :-) Of course, it should be specified at the tournament description section.
There was a great deal of cleanup that was performed on the DB recently. Any comments that were personal attacks, or items not particular to the spirit of this DB were removed.
To answer some of the speculation that certain players are avoiding others in the Gothic Chess arena, I created an invitational tournament where ALL top 10 players can participate. All players who are undefeated have been invited as well.
So, if you want to fight it out, come to the tournament you were all invited to. Fighting will take place over the board, and not in the discussion board.
Subjekt: but there are yet two prize tourneys waiting to start ...
sponsored by nobody but me without any merchandising ... :D
maybe I was a bit blonde-squared to set the minimum players to 15 for
kinda exclusive variants - it was to avoid the impression it's just for a few ... :/
I shall wait some days yet - else I'd sadly have to close them
and re-orgagnize it as lucky game prize tourney gammon and bb,
to safely attract a higher amount of pawns ... hope to see you :") ... ~*~
I had 1 loss in a tourney to a guy with 2043 in BKR..the winner of the section had 1 loss to, to a guy with 1720 in rating.
Strange that the winner had more points than me..my loss came against a higher rated player.
Not that i care...but would be fun to know the reason.
Gubbe: Which tournament? A persons rating does not really have anything to do with the points or the S/B in a tournament. (If I know the tournament, I can try to explain it a little better if you want.)
