Time to start signing for the next 'Boat Battle'. A fast 2 day per move tourny with 5 players per section with all 3 boat games.

Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (5)

I reckon 'MadMonkey's Rubber Duckies' would sound better! You might not get many people signing but who cares? :)

ROFL@rhiannon, just coz i let you beat me at backgammon, hope you have signed for them boats ;o)

how come this shows up as win for madhouse??
5 in line tourny

Looks like a bug to me - like the computer thinks it is only a 1 game match - so once 8 games were complete, it calculated the win/lose.

... which worked in the first team tournament (Backgammon) since it was only a 1 game match, and not 2 games like the new 5 in line team tournament. :-)

thats makes sense

Yes, it's a small bug. I will upload a fix tonight.

BBW: Yes, exactly :-)

So many teams... how do you pick which ones to join? lol

Can we leave the result as it is, its much nicer LOL (even if it is wrong ROFL)

All Battleboat variations.

I thought it'd be fun for a short fast Tourney. It starts in 13 hours, sign up now!

First 6 to sign-up - Potshots Away!

Sounds like fun Eriisa...I'm in!!

My first tourney
Backgammon

Just to let my potential tourney opponents know, I will be away on vaction for the week of August 21. I probably won't get a chance to pop online during that time.

I've still got a week left before that; I'll try to be online a lot in case any of you want to try and move our games along. :)

If not, I'll see you when I get back. Enjoy...

Ellieoop lives in an area that was hit by the hurricane in Florida. She is without power, and may be for a while.

If she starts timing out in her games, I hope that everyone playing her will give her the chance to restore them when her power is restored. Thanks.

Maybe Fencer can set a few vacation days for her so she will not time out.

She told me she was going to set a few days up for vacation before the storm hit, just in case. It looks like she did, but there is no telling when her power will be back on.

We'll just have to wait and see. I mostly just wanted everyone to understand that any games she times out in, isn't her fault.

How many members does a team need before they can enter a tourney?

It is defined on the particular tournament page.

Going through my favourite boards... I just *KNOW* what the one post is in the "Tournaments" board after going though the rest, but you know there was still something in me that still made me have to click to check. :-)

Sorry bumble & MadMonkey - feel free to remove this as it is off topic.

I am sorry and it will not happen again. I thought maybe my opinion about peace and love to all was worth something and wanted everyone to see it. I shall watch my etiquette more carefully from now on and maybe keep my opinions to myself. Did not mean to start anything. I thought it might help; instead it is causing more problems. Oh well, live and learn something new each day. Thank you for taking the time to give me your message.

I agree BBW, the post is everywhere even in places like 'Birthdays' and 'Prayers' where there is nothing but good wishes.

Unfortunately bumble cannot delete as he is at the Olympics (watching not competing!) for a couple of days so it's up to MM to delete if he so wishes from here.
Maybe it would save a lot of trouble if musiclover deletes the post from inappropriate boards herself.

Please can we all keep this board for what it meant for:
BrainKing.com tournaments - questions, answers & discussion.
As Red Dragon pointed out bumble is away and i am ver busy for until the weekend, so dont have alot of time to get on to.
Obvioulsy Fencer still can if he sees something he does not like & is off subject, BUT i am sure he has better things to do.
I don't want to set this board to having 'All posts must be approved'

is there anyone that is not already in a team that would be willing to join my team so i can enter the team tourney ? if you are not already a member of my fellowship you can join here jasons games room

I am planning to organise an in fellowship tourny,and an open to anyone tourney.This will be my first attempt.Can anyone point me in the right direction to get answers to my questions.PM me
if you can help.Finally can a member set up a tourny with BIG BOSS Permission

Only the big boss can create a tournament within a fellowship. Anyone with a membership rook or higher can create their own public tournament - simply go to the "Tournaments" page (found on either left or top links, depending if you're using row or column layout), and there should be a link towards the top of the page that says "Define new tournament". From there, you can set up things like the game-type(s), description, time limit, membership levels, section size, start date, etc.

LongJohn, I took your advice and have deleted quite a few on boards that do not have that problem. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Only one day left before the start of the next 'Boat Battle'.
A fast 2 day per move tourny with 5 players per section(with all 3 boat games).

Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (5)

Are you trying to be funny?

I would, MM, but since I'm about to take a week off, my games wouldn't go very fast for a while. Guess I'll have to catch the next one.

:(

in the team tournaments i see there are two sections of 7 fellowships (five in line for example) when all games are played is a winner determind from the score of wins or does the winners of each section play each other .

Jason: The system is exactly the same as for normal tournaments. You must only substitute "players" by "teams".

so winning fellowships from each section goes through to the next round if i understand correctly.

Yes.

I wanted to thank you for the game and wish you luck on the rest of your games in the "For Dummies" chess tournament... but I couldn't message you because you placed me on your enemies list.

I'd be interested to know why, since I haven't done anything wrong...

I've recently won a prize tournament, but I really don't need the prize - so why not create my own tournament to give away the prize!

Tournament: Battleboat Plus

Prize: 6 month knight membership (Fencer already has waiting for winner)

Format: 2 games per player since white does have an advantage

Time: 4 days per move

Start Time: September 15, 2004

Where to signup: SIGN UP HERE!

Other rules: No cheating, and have fun!

this is the 3rd board that I have read this message on. Seem to me that if I remember right some1 last week got jumped all over doing the same thing. I could be wrong like most times in here. So back to my corner I go.
:o{P

I've only seen it on two - the Battleboats board, and this board. Since it's a Battleboats Tournament, why shouldn't it be on both?

Ok, it's also on BBW's Battleboats fellowship DB. Also an appropriate place - especially considering its his Battleboats fellowship.

I have no problem with people posting same message on multiply boards as long as it stays on topic. (And actually if they want to spam the fellowship boards, well that is up to each BIG BOSS)

I only posted about the tournament on 2 public boards (tournament board & Battleboat board) since both are on topic for those boards.

I wanted to place it in both of those boards since players who are playing any Battleboat games will see that there is a new message and find out about the tournament there, and it is posted here so players looking for new tournaments, espically prize tournaments can find the information here.

And fill free to SIGN UP NOW for the Prize Battleboat Plus Tournament! :-)

ANd they just wanted every1 to see the thxs for helping out a person on here. But like I said "I could be wrong like most times in here." so I was right and wrong at the same time. TYVM for ur time.
:o{P

Well I would like everyone to know about my Battleboat plus Prize Tournament but I don't think writing a message to boards like "Brainking.com, Feature requests, Fellowships, General Chat, Jokes, Music, World of Sports, plus more" is really approprate - since it has nothing to do with jokes, or music, or sports.

Just because I WANT everyone to see the message does not mean it is correct to force eveyone to see the message - that is why it is called spam.

Other rules: No cheating, and have fun!

lol ... How do you cheat on Battleboat ...

Analog seeking missile program.... wwwwins everytime :)

So Other and myself, how can u tell if someone is using a program to cheat at a game? And the way I feel if a person has to cheat at a game that kinda tells u what they are really like in life. lol
:o{P

In honor of CindyInTN's new rook, I set up a Tourney for her. CindyInTN's Backgammon Celebration!

Fencer is there a way people can cheat in Battleboats?
