KotDB: I don't think it's bizarre - it makes it even easier for pawns to plan their tournaments, because they know how many free slots you need BEFORE they know how many people are going to participate in the tournament.
And it IS stated somewhere: at the page of every tournament. It clearly says that you have to have "5" free slots, not "3-7, depending on the number of players signed".
I need three more players to join Aventura - II Do you want to increase your action points and your tournament wins? Would you like to try games you never played? Do you want to have 85 more games to play? Don't you mind to receive 85 invitations in your message box?... If so let me know you want to join it:)
BIG BAD WOLF: Really? That's a bizarre way to do things, but I guess it shouldn't surprise me.
This really needs to be stated clearly somewhere in BrainKing's woefully inadequate documentation. Pawns often need to plan their tournament choices carefully, and how are they to do that if they're not even told the requirements for entry?
Harassed: Um...... good question. I have no idea if Elimination tournament require just 1 free slot or not. (I would guess just 1, but that is just a guess - will have to find out the answer to that with Fencer)
If it is a single game tournament, you need 5 free game slots (NO MATTER if you start only 4 games, or up to 7 games - the system only looks for 5 free game slots)
for the 2 games per each player, you need 10 free game slots (NO MATTER if you start only 8 games, or 14 games - the system only looks for 10 free game slots)
I don't understand why I was kicked out of a tournament for "not enough slots available". I know for an absolute fact that I had at least six slots open when it started, and it was only going to be a four person tournament anyway. Can someone please explain this further?
CRY ME A RIVER: Now that was a surprise. Such unexpected attack... The things are clear, the tourney didn't start because 2 pawns were removed who had not enough slots, blame the system, not me, please... Now you think I am some hacker or something and you attack me on public board, hmmm...
Edit: Now I understand that press monitoring lead. But I had no real conflict with you (THE HIT MAN?) You only put me twice to ignore list without reason. Personal should be removed from public boards.
Don't forget pawns need 5 free slots, otherwise the tourney won't start and is deleted with such players removed (would be better if they were removed and the start only shifted forward). Here is one eliminator, where one slot might be enough I believe:
Teema: Winner of the top 10% July 2006 (Nackgammon): Hannelore, Anencephal, jopie2002
Hannelore, Anencephal and jopie2002 are together the Number "1", between 4 good players of the tournament 'Top 10% Faster Backgammoners for 2006-07 (Nackgammon)'
Top 10% Faster Backgammoners for 2006-07
Congratulations Hannelore, Anencephal and jopie2002!
Thanks to all other players, and hope to see in other tournaments!
CRY ME A RIVER: Well, I am going to wait a while and explore my other options with tournaments. I will send you a PM if I have a further interest. Thanks for your quick response and help.
The 14th tournament for dummies has just started, but for games that did not have at least 4 players, there is a 10 day grace to see if anyone else will sign up.
This tournament is for players rated at 1500 or below, or unrated - and is a great way to try out new games, or play games you love without being killed by "experts" and such.
Universal Eyes: With the settings how they are now in the tournament, it will not start.
1st place needs to get at least double the entry fee - and to do that with only 4 players in the tournament, first place would need to be set at 50% - which right now it is set at 35%.
I don't think you are allowed to change any of those settings - but maybe Fencer would be able to change the first place price to 50% of the pot instead of 35%.
