Teema: Ongoing Tournament
I hope someone can help resolve this.

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?

Teema: Re: Ongoing Tournament
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.

Teema: Checkers Tournament
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.)

13. juuli 2003, 00:41:41

Teema: rated tournaments
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?

13. juuli 2003, 02:03:33
coan.net 
A couple of things might have happened.

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. :-)

Teema: ... last post cont.
And now that I take a look at the tournament you are talking about, that tournament was created AT LEAST 12 days ago - if not more.

So with 2 weeks of playing, my guess is that the lower rated players ratings droped over the past couple of weeks! :-)

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. :-)

Teema: Clarification Please
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?

14. juuli 2003, 17:32:55
coan.net 
Teema: re: Clarification Please
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.

hope this helps!

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.

Teema: -- Tournament for dummies --
NEW TOURNAMENT: ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated)

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.

To sign up - Check out the Tournament!

Teema: Re: ... last post cont.
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?

16. juuli 2003, 02:47:32
Kevin 
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.

Teema: Re:
Kevin,

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)!!?

16. juuli 2003, 06:45:37
Fencer 
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.

All the ones that had been created either started or finished by now. Until someone starts another one, there won't be any more :-)

In order for Fencer to get a new server which will enable us to play uninterrupted we are holding a money drive.

We arent asking for alot but if everyone on this site donated just one dollar we could help Fencer get the new server which is needed.

Read more about it on the Brainking board.

Thanks

i have finished with the open 5 in line tourny so why can i not join another

19. juuli 2003, 04:37:41
Kevin 
There are still games remaining in your section - you have to wait for your section to finish before you can join another.

Or, you can message Fencer and he will mark you as eliminated from the tournament so you can join another.

19. juuli 2003, 05:16:50

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??

19. juuli 2003, 05:55:06
lovelysharon 
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...

19. juuli 2003, 09:56:48
harley 
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)

19. juuli 2003, 14:21:37

Thanks lovelysharon and harley...glad to know I get a message and don't have to keep checking the tournament to see if the first round is complete :~)

I'm pretty sure it's entirely random.

24. juuli 2003, 22:37:14
coan.net 
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.

Teema: tournament section setup
I would like to suggest an advancement.

The highest rated player is set to group 1
- the next-highest to group 2 and so roundrobin on.

Such a system would come close to the World Tennis Tour setup
and avoid annoying asymmetries in the first rounds imho ...

Perhaps implementable as option for the tournament creator ... ~*~

25. juuli 2003, 00:15:28
MadMonkey 
Teema: Re: System
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.

25. juuli 2003, 00:23:39

It used to be random but since the $250 gothic chess tournament it is not. Please read more on http://gothicchess.org.
