The end is in sight for the end of the first part...down to 2 players and their last moves...Come on Kevin and KevJon...you can do it....gooooooo team!!! Rah-Rah sis boom bah....
Is there going to be another prize like in the first heap when the winners of their section got a knight membership??

We're moving, we're moving... :-)

LOL...you go Kevin!....aren't you and KevJon neck and neck??? Can't wait to see who will win. :ř)

Hi, I'm looking to get on some teams for the team tourneys. Anyone need a player?

anyone fancy joining my team so i can join the amazons team tourny ,i just need one player . jasonsgamesroom

redsales-- we can use you over at the Sunshine Club :)

Redsales, you can join our team Brains of space....we need a member for tank battles for sure.And maybe you should become a "Loop team" member later...

The first team tournament went off at 3 days per move. The new ones are all at 5 days per move. Why the change? It seemed like the participation in the first one was high. I havent heard anyone talking about a massive amount of time outs from any games. # days seems like a good middle of the road time limit that should work for everyone. Or maybe 5 days and deactivate the weekends? As it is, a 5 day tournament game can last 420 days for a 30 move game, plus vacation time, and holidays.

I think that team tournaments should be under 1 year in length, for the whole tournament, not 1.15 years+ just for one game. Our memberships are only good for a year, we should be able to play a team tournament, and have it finish within a year.

I vote for 3 days team tournaments, that is plenty of time....

I alreadyy mentioned 3 days would be better, so I agree

I vote for 1 day. :)

Problem with one day, even for us faster players, is time outs. I had a freak day last week and didnt access the web for over a day, and got timed out of 5 games in a 1 day tournament.

I mean, you can play 25 moves pergame per day, but if you miss one day, you are out.

How about 2 days then?

It would be nice to have some sort of overall game limit, or sometging of the like.....hopefully someday :)

i like 2 days too, grenv, for the same reason! Internet can be spooty at times here in Korea. I've had a tech over at my crib thrice in 2 months.

Temo, Antje: sorry, harley and bobes got to me first. I *could* leave the tank battle team, but I onlly would if the Sunshine Club tank battle team had enough members and the other team didn't. I'm not good at tank anyway, i'd just be a body!

2 days is fine, i was just bartering.

LMAO

come on Fencer.......10 players for the 6x6 tourny???? thats getting silly now

BINGO! Stevie is the first one. Why did I KNOW that? :-D

Because I was looking forward to a 6x6 tournie which had the likely hood of being a quick one LOL
Then the bombshell hits, not a lot of chance of getting that many players to join so may aswell give up on the idea of being in it with a team

But at least its 3 day moves LOL

thats OK Redsales.. we've got our tank battle team!!! thanks anyway!

*editing to add Redsales IS on our team!

thanks :)

Team Tournament names:

Crowded Gammon: "Don't stand so close to me!" Tournament

Gammon Race: "zoom zoom - wanna race gammon?"

Nackgammon: "Nammon Gammon"

Battleboats Plus: "Plus size Battle at sea."

All the above would have very good turn out - could easly make 6-8 player teams.

I've always found 3 day limits to be good - which is why almost all of the "Fast Start" tournament (which I need to start some again), always have 3 day limit.

Plus as I can tell we may need 40 days to get together enough 10 player 6x6 teams, 40 days seems like a long time to wait. 20-30 days would probable be enough in my opinion.

Please send me a message and let me know. Thank you.

Fencers undying reinforcement of his faith in our Stevie LOLOL

you must be paid member to join a team as they are integrated into fellowships.

Yeah, that's rule number one. Then, you have to be a member of a fellowship, and a member of a team within that fellowship.

the great thing is...if you UPGRADE to a brain rook...you can form your own fellowship,and start your own team! ;)

B-b-b-but if we all have our own fellowships, there won't be any teams.

The Sunshine club need a member for atomic chess team.

Yeah, we need some of those on Power House as well, and we could use some help on Reversi 10 X 10, and Checkers. Any takers? Free pizza on request for membership. *a good bribe works from time to time*

Win? I think not! ;)

Ohhhhhhh! Taking corners I see.

Fencer: In the event of teams being level on points and games won/lost, do both teams progress to the next round or does some other determining factor come into play?

bumble: In such case both teams continue to the next round.

Thanks. The backgammon tourney is looking very close and hard-fought!

You don't hang about do you Fencer? Two results already!

Should I join a Quick Player Club? :-D

yeah, Kevins on same team though, so that will negate Fencers fast games LOL

That was rather a short answer LMAO ummm keeping on topic...ummmm There is a link to the left for tournaments, sign up to play them LOL

I noticed that when playing a team tournament game, there is no "Move and go to the tournament" selection at the bottom of the drop-down list. Is there a reason for this?

Also, the team tournament games in the member drop-down-list (the one that contains all of our games) are not marked with the *s like the regular tournament games. I think they should at least be marked somehow even if different from the regular tournament games.

Well done to beach, IMupChucKing & MadMonkey (oh, thats me lol) on creating a 3-way draw/win in the Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (4) (Battleboats Plus) Tournament.

I will sort out a new Boat tourny today as the other 2 are alomost finished :o)

I bet you even managed to throw doubles in that MM.

ROFL@cariad, hey you just beat me at Backgammon :o)

Only because you lent your magic dice to Dolittle!

oh yeah, i knew there had to be a reason, but it is for a good cause. Even with them, nothing can really change the outcome in that section of the tournament.

Congratulations to all you water people. And, congratulations to cariad for winning her bout with our BB.

HORDE CHESS 2 games quick moves... and slow players removed

Have fun and enjoy your games :o)
Steve

'slow players removed' seems so....final. lol

its elaborated on in the description LOL corr 2 big words in 1 sentence LOL
