The Fast Backgammon (2) that I am running is open to paid or not...but I believer you can only play in 1 at a time if you are not a member, someone may be able to clarify this
I really think it unfair that there is not (1) open backgammon tournament.
It would do you good to start one, so you see how many people you really entice at your site.
I'll check back later....Spoker
For fast Backgammon (2) and Its a Race (2) (backgammon race) signups close in a few hours. Games will be 1 day moves, get in for some quick play fun!!!
Come and sign up for hrlqns BIG ONE!! All the games are listed, just choose your favourites! Only a week to sign up, 3 day moves & unlimited players! Good luck to everyone who joins in!
dream: Anything that you want to give to a winner. Just describe it at the tournament description, e.g. 6-months Brain Rook memebership etc. And you can limit players signing up, just select the correct checkboxes at the tournament definition page.
I like the theme idea Fencer. You could take it a step further and play just "end game" or "middle game" boards of chess, etc. For example, you could make one called End Game:Pawns...with a pre-set board of pawns ready to promote on the 7th row and a king, something to that effect.
I entered this tourney and it doesn't bother me.If at the time of entry she was a brain pawn. Isn't membership here what is wanted? It would be as if you were punishing her for joining...Had it been me, I think I would have removed myself or waited to join after the tourney. It would be the same if a brain pawn entered within the limits of BKR's and then jumped before the tourney started.Let the best player win...Just one opinion but,on the other hand I guess some people would look at it as being unfair.
I do wonder whether any of us are so mad keen to win a tournament. For me, it is a good way of getting more games started, without the hassle of sending out invites.
If you remove Pawns who have paid to become Knights, then this might persuade them not to become knights!! But I guess this affects so few players that it hardly makes any difference which way you decide.
I agree, if someone didn't have enough slots they would be removed from the tourney, so if their membership level changes it should be the same, removal from the tourney.
And as Dream says, some tourneys are for prizes, and its unfair to the other players if a knight receives extra membership while they are still pawns.
One more thing - do you think that I should add a support for "theme tournaments"? For example, a chess tournament where all players must play King's gambit. Would it be interesting or only a waste of (my) time?
Hello,
please help me to solve this problem - if one defines a tournament for e.g. Brain Pawns only, a player with this level signs up and after two days [still before the deadline] he upgrades to Brain Knight, should the player be automatically removed from the tournament because he is not a Brain Pawn anymore?
Dont forget its the last day to sign up for fast nack (1). Quick games with 1 day moves, while you are there, have a look at fast Backgammon (2) and Its a race (2) for the lovers of fast play backgammon!!! :-)
Uil: You have to wait until the section is completed. It is not clear who is the winner at the current status.
Kevin: No, once all sections of one game type are completed, the new round can be generated. Since this feature was never used before, it is currently available for me only. When I test in on some tournament will completed sections, I will make it available for the corresponding tournament creators as well.
If, for example, all the Spider-Line4 sections are complete in eddie's fast tourney 1, can it not progress to round 2 until all the sections in all the games are complete? Thanks!
Fencer, you'd only be creating more work for yourself if you started the tournaments, everyone is timing out and will no doubt ask for the game to be started again once the problems are sorted. I'm having a lot of problems myself, yesterday I spent hours trying to get in and for my efforts managed to move in only 8 games! But I'm just keeping from a timeout in my games. Other people aren't so lucky! We know you're trying your best but starting tournaments will only add to everyones load at this point.
Manicotti would love to have started that tourney FEB1 however she hasnt been able to access this site at all since Jan 28!! Neither has her co partner in the tourney Eddie Spaghetti.
They are more frusterated then we are.. One is on a PC other is on WebTv Wish I knew how to get them access back in here!!!
They arent the only paying members who cant gain access back in to the site either....
I just started another tournament, and set the date as the 7th for start, when i created it, it said signups close on the 8th, i checked it and also tried to change the signup to the 8th, then when saved it said signups closed on the 9th....any ideas??
as a brain knight i can not enter a tournament because i am already playing in an other tournemant of the same kind. so far i understand, but if i have completed all my games in that other tournament i still can not enter an other tournament. So i am the victim of the slow play of other players. Is that right? I have completed that tournament!
Imacarrot either you have too many games going and dont hve the room for the tourney or you are already in a tourney of the same game type. Upgrade and join in all the tournies you want with no limits!!
And what about having the ability to select exactly what levels may join a tournament, instead of just a minimum (similar to the way you can do when sending out an open invite). That way for the prize tournaments, for example, it can be restricted to just pawns.
