nikos: The language was ambiguous as to whether it was a combined score or separate prize for each event :
Brainking 2010 should not be open to pawn members if they can't win. Suppose I win the LOA section of the tournament then I have skewed the tournament for a good LOA player as I can't enter more than one tournament at once. Good Luck to everyone in brainking 2010.
thisbeme: Sorry to read this,but if you are complaining about this, well I'll diappoint you,but it's your fault. There is a small breafing notifying every player what this tournament is all about,so pay attention next time. Cheers
Starting out on this site I discover that I want to have more than I want to play more thanj one tournament at a time and so need to improve my membership level. Fortunately there are tournaments that can be one that offer prizes with no entry fee :). So I see a nice prize for the game espionage, I think I'll play that and although I've never played it's a tempting prize so sign up. Then I see brainking 2010 lines of action and sign up and unsignup from espionage, even though the prize isn't as good but it is propbably my best game and suspect I have a decent chance of doing well. Now I see that I have no chance to win the prize because I need to be the best overall over every brainking 2010 event and since I am only allowed to play one event I have no chance to win the brains.
It's less then 2 days before Small Fast Espionage #2 starts. So far 49 players, and more or less all top 10-players are in. But it's still space for more players, so sign-up!

Teema: Re: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible?
Thanks for the inputs so far!
talen314: Yes, I had something like that in mind when I talked about a way to ‘work around’ the current system. But I’d still prefer a tournament when you played all the selected game types against the same opponents. From a sporting point of view, that would be the fairest way to find the tournament winner.
MadMonkey: Thanks for putting the suggestion on your list! I get the impression that Fencer has plenty to do with the upgrade he’s working on, but maybe a different system for tournament creation is part of that too – who knows?
An additional problem is the ‘match type’ used for the different games. It would be nice if that could be set separately for each game type. One of the game types in a brainking decathlon could be a backgammon match using the cube, but I think you’d have to set that up as a separate tournament in the current system.
I suppose an invitational tournament would make most sense, to make sure that everyone is playing all the games. But I’ll probably wait and see how tournaments work in the new Brainking 3.0 before I decide what to do.
Teema: Re: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible?
pedestrian:
Along a similar line to what you propose is something like this. The tournament could be decided solely on the basis of which player scores the most points for all games played in the tournament as a whole. One advantage is that more individual game tournaments might get started on time since in order to win it would be the total won games and not won tournaments that would decide the issue making it necessary to play more games. talen314
