Nobody has dared to enter this tournament yet ;-) The good news is that you can still join.
It’s a multi game tournament:
ALL20
The rules are simple: You must sign up for all 20 games. The player with most points combined in all 20 games is the winner and will receive a symbolic prize of 10 brains.
Message me if you want to play and I will invite you. Remember that you must sign up for all 20 games. For technical reasons, I had to divide the tournament into two sub-tournaments because some of the games are 5-point-matches. You will have to sign up for 17 games in one sub-tournament and 3 games in the other.
The number of players will be between 4 and 11. If we get 11 players, that means 200 games for each.

(#2 is set up to use doubling cube. This will only affect Backgammon; the other two games can’t be played with doubling cube and will be played as regular 5-point matches instead.)

DeaD man WalkiN:
Did you consider limiting yourself to 13 tourneys? Will you be positioned with a black cat on your lap-sitting on a broken mirror(very carefully) under a ladder?
I would like to inform you all about the new tournament for Brains, the entry fee is as always only 5 Brains At this time only the most popular games, so Backgammon, Hyper Backgammon and Ludo (if you are interested in other games, please let me know).
furbster: It should be an interesting second round. I bet there are divisions that will be won by default as many of the players in this tournament no longer play here.
pedestrian: yes, the winning player places about 200 stones. And while the opponent fills one's territory it might be possible to pass many moves, if there is no threat to capture or make life. So it could be about 250 moves.
And if the leading player fills all eyes except one, the opponent can capture everything, and the game effectively starts from the beginning. But at this point it really becomes silly...
Thom27: That's an interesting idea, but I'm still not convinced that Go can compete with Anti Backgammon in this respect. How many moves would a game of Go take when played this way? Forming the 'perfect grid' you speak of should take 180 or 181 moves, but you will most likely have placed some extra stones early in the game that don't fit into the grid. I'm guessing slightly more than 200 moves would be realistic?
pedestrian: Sign up for Go 19*19! This might be thegame that can last longest, especially if one plays over the end, placing stones into the opponents territory until it is divided in one-point-eyes, then play into the own groups until they can be captured. Finally the winner owns the whole board and has divided everything into one-point eyes.
