Cassius, I think he said yesterday that if the server is close to overload etc, the script that starts the tournies, will not start until a suitable time
I have found that the tournaments auto-starter runs about every 1-2 hours, which will start any tournament which is past it's start time.
BUT - what you probable notice is my "Fast Start" tournament, which when they have enough people to start, what I do is just change the start date of the tournament ahead 1 day so they start faster - so they will start the next time the "Auto-Start" runs, and not have to sit there full waiting for the time to run out.
That would be nice Fencer - but then again, the problem I see with that is that probable once a month you will get the question "Hey, I had a tournament in the list which is now gone, and not started yet!" - which of course would be the case until the tournament auto-start is ran.
Subject: Re: 2 FREE 6 MONTH ROOK MEMBERSHIPS Under 3 weeks to go !!!!
Oooh, that is soooo *not fair*! I just found this awesome site a few days ago... which means I can't sign up for this. Ah, well. Guess you have to draw the line somewhere. lol
if you have won a round of the tournament then you can either choose a pawn yourself and tell either linda or fencer.. or if you don't know of anyone, then ask a few people if they do :) there is always someone who knows a pawn who would like a membership :)
The prize is a brainking.com T-shirt to the winner of the size and colour of his/her choice (as available).
I've fluttered my eyelashes at Fencer and he's going to flutter his eyelashes at Mrs Fencer to handpaint the words 'Tournament Winner' or 'Tourney Winner' as an addition to the current wording.
If the tourney is won by a pawn then a prize of a 6 month brain rook membership will be offered as an alternative.
I have postponed the tournament deadline to Friday, 16th July 2004. The reason is that I had no time to perform all required tests and without tests it would be too risky to start it.
Wow - 18 teams are now set up - so 3 sections with 6 teams each!
Then the top team from each section will go and face each other. This is going to be cool - even if say I do really bad and lose all my games, if my teammates do really good, we can still go and win a section!
Oh, but how can it be 10 slots in all cases? I have 7 people signed - maximum section number is 8, so it would only create one section with all 7 players.
Each player would play 2 games with each other person, making 12 slots needed?
harley: I have entered your Maharajah Chess tourny, but it says only 4 players and you have 7 (well 8 now lol).
If there are too many just remove me :o)
For "1 game for 2 players", a player will ALWAYS need 5 game slots open (Even if they only start 4 games, or even if they start 7 games) - the computer just checks for 5 free slots.
For the 2 games per 2 players, players will need 10 slots open. Even if a player starts 6 or 8 games, they will still need 10 games slots open.
