Can someone tell me when this is likely to start??? It is one of Arnie Addicks tournaments, and we are way past the 24th Dec :(.....OOPS, sorry this is Backgammon :) edited by myself
Thanks to all at this site who are being so diligent in their work on making this a great site. I am new and very well pleased. The Gothic Chess players are accommodating; the play is strong; the features are helpful; the programmers are doing a solid job. I am happy to come and play these wonderful chess variations--it is the only place online I have yet found that allows for this. Naysayers often get their airtime. This is a "Yeasayer" who is pleased with what I have seen here. Prosperity to you.
The 8x10 tournament is exciting. Thanks again.
That was xmas eve Bernice, I would understand it not starting then its only the sign up by date, not a start date anyways. He was probably playing Santa LOL

It's not really the new/old links - it has to do with if you use the www. before Brainking.com or not.
So to have a link work for EVERYONE who uses BrainKing, it should look something like this (without the ".":
<.A HREF="/game/ShowFellowship?fid=105">
So no matter if a person is using http://brainking.com, or http://www.brainking.com, or even http://new.brainking.com - it will work (And as a note, as of right now there is no difference between the "new", "www", or "blank")
(As a second side note - I believe Fencer is going to have this fixed in the new version of BrainKing which should be comming in the next few months!
Ok that's strange, when you click on that link, did it invite you automaticly? I've gotten 3 PM's in the last 10 mins telling me people accepted the invites, but the only person I invited was chatty lol. Everyone is welcome to join, I just thought that was kinda strange :)
You have the rest of the year to sign up for the first Year 2004 tournaments! (Which means you only have a few more days!) The tournaments will start on january 1st, 2004 (or December 31, 2004 - depending on what time zone you are on) There is alreayd a GREAT turnout of players, but more are welcome!
Here. The signups are due to close midnight New Year's Eve (my time - EST - GMT -0500), which to clarify is the midnight -preceding- New Year's Eve. :) I'll start the tourney after the holidays so everyone can sober up. :) Especially one more for Tank Battle so that game can be included.
Whispers, I was thinking of upping that to 1800.. Fencer (who was first to join up - Thank you!! :) started as unrated when he signed, but now shows at ~1799, which is over-limit. Which brings up a question. If those who are already signed break the BKR limit before the games start, what happens to those players?
When a player who starts out unrated, but before the tournament starts - goes OVER the rating limit, they will STAY in the tournament by default.
Now what I do when I run (for example 1500 & under) tournaments, before the tournament actually starts, as tournament creator - I go and remove anyone who is then over the limit that was setup (unless it's not by much - like BKR 1505, etc...) but it is up to the tournament creator if they want them to stay or not.
Interesting how each section has one player that hasn't completed any games .... while the majority of the tourney has been completed .... is this the same person? or some kind of computerized player ??? what gives ?? awful suspicious to say the least !!
BlueM: The problem is that the time per move in that tournament is 21 (plus any vacation days people may have). It is also Xmas & New Year. I think it could be a long wait for you.
I suggest next time you pick a competition with a shorter move time.
I the first game of his I looked at (with you Blue) he has until jan 27 to make his next move. Weekend days don't count so it's 21 days per move, only counting 5 days a week. That is the only down side of being a pawn, only one tournament at a time. If you ever decide to upgrade, that is no longer a problem. I have about 400 games going right now in at least 75 different tournaments.
Sorry Lythande ... the "n" jumped off the keyboard at the wrong time ... that should have been "no good", but I will be thinking of you all. (I think sLaMMie'S new fellowship has effected my keyboard sUmTiNk chronic ... LOL)
Sign-ups have closed for A Few of My Favourite Things. I'll probably start the tournament later today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, sign-ups have begun for the Brotherly Love duo. This is two separate tournaments, one for beginners (BKR under 2000 or unrated), and one for advanced players (BKR 2000 and up, no unrated players), and include all games.
