The annual Mind Sports Olympiad is being hosted in London, United Kingdom from August 21-31, 2009. Many events that are played on brainking.com are being played there, including several World Championships. Some of the games played (which are also played here):

Lines of Action
Chess
Go
Backgammon
Poker
Chinese Chess
Draughts


Its a virtually unique tournament and a great experience. The standard of play and variety of games on offer are usually at very high standard. It would be great if at least some BK-ers could make it to London for this event.

"GERRY": I think there is something wrong either with your posts or my perception. I keep seeing two of the same post, sometimes even more!

Pedro Martínez: LOL blame Fencer than he must be sending me the same win's :)) if he is the lucky ones will be the Winner's they will get 2 or 3 wins on there tournament wins for one game HEY:))

"GERRY": it's because you get one as a player and one as the creator, everybody in the tournament already has the links you are posting

Website now up and running with loads of information including player profiles and rules:

Whoever is moderating this group, can you please do something about Gerry's multiple pointless postings. More serious material is just getting blown off the list by this waffle. It looks by its being generated by a scripted bot anyway.

"GERRY": well if you insist on posting what everyone in the tournament already knows and those not in the tournaments coudnt really care less

why not group the posts into one message
its very annoying to see 5 numbers on the tournament page then find they all yours
it make life easier for everyone

Imsoaddicted:

Imsoaddicted: Don't you people have hide button's or do you just like annoying me LOL:)))

If you click on "Gerry"'s links, you will see that they are not really all the same message. Each link goes to the specific game of the main tourney, and it lists the winner.

Others have posted congratulations to their tourneys, and it has always been allowed.

Yes, I suppose it would be nicer if they could all be grouped together into one post.

"Hide" does work though, if anyone does not want to read them.

rod03801: yes i know hide does work and i use it often but that dosnt stop the red numbers popping up beside the board so unless you click to read it you dont know if theres anything worth reading or not

Imsoaddicted: Perhaps that will be different in Brainking 3.0 . I believe the discussion board system is going to be revamped.

I do not remove anyone that want's to play in any of my tournament's.But there is creator's here that will:))

"GERRY": Yes, it is perfectly allowable for anyone to remove anyone they don't want in their tournaments. A very good feature of Brainking.

rod03801: I totally agree with you there & i hope these new feature's improve all the board's

rod03801: one of the expectations when 0ne posts here is to format them properly. When thats not done, people have a right to complain. Its reasonable to expect anyone posting here to follow some level of etiquette. Posting winners is fine. But all info should be included. The tourney name and link, the winners name, and then a congrats. Otherwise it looks like spam. Yes people have the right to post winners here. But if they dont (or wont) do it properly, they ought to be held accountable. Yes hide works. So does posting it right in the first place. ;)

Tuesday: some of the posts could have contained several tourney results instead of using single posts. Also, none contained the winners name which essentially makes the posts look like multiple posts of the same info.

I do agree that this board is the place to announce tourney winners. Personally I enjoy seeing who the winners are.

Artful Dodger: i agree if you want to post results here thats fine
the problem i have is when you come to the board and see 5 red numbers and you click on it thinking someone has created a tournament or 2 and then find the same message for 5 posts it becomes a joke

In my opinion multiple posting winners is spam. If you care about this do one big post in a month with winners, everyone would be satisfied.

I also like this method of doing it this way to check out other player's in game.

I came on today & there was 9 posts 1 new tournament & 1 repeat & some winners in games the rest was gossip

It's nice to see more member's posting there TOURNAMENT"S because that is what this site is all about
