Subject: Can someone please get me outta this tournament!
It is a backgammon championship tournament with a 21 day limit.
It started in July 2nd. almost 20 days ago.
I have one game with Stinger who has not made one move yet, and still has 26 days 10 hours before a time out!
How does a 21 day tournament turn into a 48 day tournament?
At this pace it will take 8 years for a 30 move game!!!!!
How realistic is it to play a tournament where one game can last 8 years?
I guess if you are young, and you make it to the third round, you can count on your competition to die for your win. Plus look at the potential for Fencer to gaurantee no one ever leaves :)
I know it doesnt matter to many, the slow pace, and I should simply not worry about it, and play when my turn comes around.
But this is silly to the extreme... What would a 30 day tournament be like?
please fencer, for my sanity, remove me from this tournament. Thank you very much!
I think it is going to be difficult to find 8 players for a team in 5 in line tournament, with so many already playing in the backgammon tournament, if knights cannot play in more than one tourney at a time.
You can change the date to a time that has already past, then wait an hour (or longer if server is busy) (no more then 2-3 hours I have every waited) - then the script will start it.
Manual starts used to cause many problems in BK 1.0 :-) Now is the emergency button available for me and Liquid only, in case of automatic start malfunction.
All tournaments start automatically in all rounds.
The script is performed once an hour. However, due to overloaded servers, it refuses to run sometimes.
The player is limited by max. 50 started games at once and 20 vacation days per year, can make unlimited number of moves per day, can join only one tournament of each kind of game, can become a member of BrainKing fellowships, can participate in Brain Knight referral program (see Brains page).
Spider Line4 would be good. So would Battleboats Plus.
Amazons would be good (for me), but their are still many people trying to learn the game and turn out for that team tournament would probable be low (which I would wait awhile before having an Amazons team tournament) - But if you did make one, I would be sure to play! :-)
ty fencer ,so every body plays only one person from every team there . what happens when two teams score the same number of wins (how would a winner be determined) ?
sorry for the questions but team events are totally new to me .
Jason: The number of games per one player is the same as for normal tournament. It means that with 4 teams and two games with switched colours, everybody will play 6 tournament games.
is there an explanation anywhere as to how the team tournaments work , if there was (use five in line as an example) 8 players and only 4 teams how many games would i play in total ?
Andersp: Pawns [tasselhof] cannot play team tournaments and Knights [Sarah1980] can play only one tourney - she is currently playing the first one in backgammon.
Brainking is not going to grow if every pawn that posts is going to be accused of being Purple.
Please guys, think before you post. We want more members - we don't need prospecrive members being chased away.
Steve: ROFL!! What is 'going madmonkey'? Do I want to know? :o)
Derek is NOT purple. He is a teenager just learning games on the internet. I happen to have played with him and know his exact age and he definitely has not mastered the game Five in Line as yet. He wants a paid membership but his parents feel the money could be spent elsewhere at this time. Help explain the boost a pawn program and stop thinking in those lines.
Now if you were in boiler room, we could discuss the topic over there and stay off tourny board LOL so as not to get Bumble going all madmonkey at us LOL
LongJohn.
Do you know that statement about Derek to be true?
If not, I think you should remove your post.
Give Derek a chance at least, or are you going to frighten off every pawn that dares post?
