Any one not already on a froggy team interested in joining a team? Mercenaries needs a 6th player for the upcoming team tourney! contact Goonerg directly OR go to the Mercenaries team and ask to join up!!!
Can this not be changed to 1 game each pair?
two games isnt necesary in backgammon due to the die deciding who goes firts.
And 8 teams per section means 16 games each, this is reducing the amount of players who can join cos of limits on knights who are paying members/ contributors. And rooks who already have many games due to large team members numbers needed on the other tournies
I will be running a prize BG Tourney for members of my board, the prize will be a minimum of a 1 year Brainrook membership, with a possible second prize being added to. It will be an invite only Tourney, and you need to post in the relevent thread on the board to get an invite.
Congrats to Arpa for winning my 3 pack Backgammon tournament... Again, out of my bracket, so thats good :) it was a 2 day tournament and still it takes 2 months to finish...
I have just started a new Backgammon championship for people with a winning overall game record. 3 days per move for fast players, first 20 people to sign up, and it will be started.
Go to the Team Tournament link. Find the Reversi 6x6 tournament, and when you get there, it should give you the opportunity to sign your team up for the tournament.
How do you edit a finished tournament tha you created to add the name of the winner? Its probably something simple I have overlooked, but I cant seem to find out how to do this. Thanks :)
Since the first team tournament is in the second round, and my team is not in it anymore, shouldnt I now be able to leave the team I am on? Or do we have to wait until the whole tournament is finished? Is this a bug? Thanks :)
The train has left the station and there is little appetite anymore for racket busting crusaders in search of a cause. If private messages to Fencer won't do the job then you have to assume it's a dry hole.
I just talked to people in PM and I see what your talking about now AD, but we got to remember we are playing games and if you can not win the tournament LIKE ME then we all try again and next time we might win.... I thought this was all just for fun, I have never won anything and I'm just happy to see my name at the top of the ratings at two different games :o)
What I'm trying to say is if there is people out there with phoney accounts That meens thay are not as good as their rating shows and I would love to play against them all the time so when I kick their but my rating get higher :o)

Ad: You have to stop and think if any pawns that you are playing against are phoney they must not be that good at that game so you should be able to beet them....... The way I look at it is, If I don't win the first round then I will get in the next tournament and try to win that one
Subject: speculation = A hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)
I'd say that when someone tells you in a private fellowship that they ARE the QWERTY account, and then they send you a PM from the QWERTY, that is hardly speculation but is all the proof one needs. Unless of course you're not interested in getting at the truth.
I told you it's not a speculation. LJ told me and showed me he was using the QWERTY account. It's not my fault Fencer that you're too stubborn to believe the truth. Take it as friendly help

Is there ONE player out there who would like to join our Tank Battle team ?
It doesn't matter how good you are, it can't do as i am playing LOL, lets just have some fun :o)
(only 18 mins left)
Correct, 5 teams go through. Just waiting on one game. That game in theory could last another 8 turns each. Since it's a 3 day tournament that could be 48 days. Of course a nice long vacation could lengthen that.
How about just starting round 2 before the game finishes?
Same goes for the backgammon tournament. We already know the teams that have won, let's go on to the next round, since the remaining matches have no bearing on the result.
one player still hasnt made a single move in it yet, (in any game) ,obviously going to leave moves till last minute each time. before you ask, yes, they have been on site, and are now too
Now tell me this will not ruin the fun of the tourny

It is a 2 way tie.
First, the team with the most points is the winner.
If there is a tie between point, then it moves to which has the most game wins.
It's probable not "yellowed" yet for the winners because Fencer not programed it to determin the winners yet - but that is just my guess since this is something new.
The other 2 sections still have games (even though we already know 2 teams from section 1, 2 teams from section 2, and 1 team from section 3 will move on.)

I am curious about the First Team Tournament.
Section 2 appears to be a 4 way tie. Will all 4 teams move on to round 2? (Nothing has been "yellowed" like in regular tournaments, to indicate the winner of the section) Or is there another method to decide ties? (Like S-B in regular tournaments)
One things that was changed (from BK1.0 to BK2.0) was the ability to add multiply game types to a fellowship tournament, but you would have to have a team for that gamy type to add it.
Of corse if I BIG BOSS wanted to get around that, they could add a team, create a tournament, then remove the team and let the tournament go on. (Up to the 4th Backgammon tournament in my Battleboat fellowship!) :-)
lol...I just checked in my fellowship and it only let me add Spider Line4 (which is the only team). So apparantly it still is only tournaments with corresponding teams... :-)
