If for some reason you remove a player from a Tourny, are they automatically informed or do they not know?

They do not know Steve, unless they go back and look themsleves obviously.

For a tourney well played!!

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler

Congrats to Bobes for winning the Crazy Screen Chess Tourney!!! WTG Good luck to everyone still in other sections of the January Jubilee Tourney :)

Hi Linda,
I guess you used google to translate your english...

I would rather say something like : "Passons du bon temps!" :-) Anyway, good luck in that tourney !

Hi Mangue
Laissez les bons temps rouler "Let the good times roll" is a popular saying in my area. A lot of Creole French is spoken here. Although I don't speak it very well, I love to hear it.

Passons du bon temps "pass a good time" would be good too and I hope everyone does in the tournament. Good luck everyone and thanks mangue. :•)

Its not possible yet, but it could be a good one for feature requests! :oD

Heres a Tourny to aid me to learn Turkish checkers :o) Games are still rated hence the hard way LOL

Stevies way to learn Turkisheckers the hard way ;)

Have fun and enjoy the games :o)

This tournament has been going for many days now.
Many people have already completed several games.
But there are some, for example Big Black Wolf, who have yet to make even one move in any of their games!

I realize that one of the problems with tournaments is that you can only play as fast as the slowest player. But come on, this gets out of hand!

I also realize that people have no obligation to play more than necessary not to time out. But, again this is crazy.

Those time limits are generally set to keep people from timing out in case of some emeregency or computer problem etc....

People who purposly only play the minimum amount of moves should be removed! Someone like Big Black Wolf, are here on this site all the time, and their motivation for not moving are unknown. But some people seem to get a kick out of frustrating other players by not making turns in a timely manner.

If BBW had their way, this tournament would last 2 years or more!

It simply should not be tolerated! If someone is obviously able to play, but chooses not to, then their is no reason for them to be allowed to continue in the first place. Someone needs to put a torch under their butts, and threaten them with removal from the tournament if they are active on the site, yet refusing to make moves in this tournament.

Some of these players have a reputation for slow play, and I generally try to avoid games with them, or be in tournaments with them, if I know how they are. But in the case of BBW, and others, who are in almost every tournament offered, I would have to just give up playing all together to avoid them. And that is not fair to me and others like me.

The point is.... I may want to play every day, but there are times when that may not be possible, therefore, It wouldn't be right for me to play in a one day tournament because, although I may be willing to play every day, I may have an occasional problem playing everyday.

guess the point I am trying to make is that you should choose games with a time limit where that is the most time you plan on using between turns and not the least amount of time you will use.

If you can only play once every 4 days, then you should not be in a game with a 4 day limit, you should be in a 7 day limit or something. If you can only play every 7 days, yuou should be in a 21 day limit or so, just in case of problems.

The limit on the games you play should be the most time you will take, not the smallest!

I think it can be up to the person running the tournament to decide if some one is slow playing on purpose, and get them out!!

I have turned to removing those type of players from my Tournies now before they start, I find it very annoying

If I go on vacation for two weeks are you going to call for my removal as well??..

I'm right behind you IMupChucking, I dont like talking about people but some times it cant be helped...... I got a game of 10x10 Halma and it's a prize tourney going against Big Bad Wolf, It started about 9 months ago and we are not even half finished, he waits untill the last day before he will time out then he makes his move every time....... the worst part of it the game started way before the big black out, so what we had going we had to start over.... So far I won 9 games and lost won, so it realy looks like I'm going to win my part of the tourney, but it looks like it is going to take about 2 years to find out.... I would love to give that prize to a friend.........Wht gets me MAD is BBW is always talking in fellowships, he needs to be playing his games and not talking so they can get finished......I'm shure he reads this stuff so what he should do is when he is playing his games and he see's he is loosing click on RESIGN
