Kevin: The restriction is currently applied only when you want to sign up [the sign up link will appear for you or not]. Once you are in, it is not considered.
Should I improve it?
Joe: Once you start it, the tournament maintains itself with no assistance :-) Only if it creates more than one section for one game type, you will be asked to start the second round. But it will happen after weeks/months.
hrlqns: The players who dropped out didn't have enough empty slots for your tournament, most likely. I know that the tournament creator and affected players should be notified about it, I'll add the notification ASAP.
Yes, that's exactly how Eddie writes. If you are a Brain Knight and you are curretly playing e.g. Reversi 6x6 tournament, you can join another tournament but of some different game type - for example Reversi 8x8 etc. Only Brain Rooks have no tournament restrictions.
I think that everybody who decided to pay for a higher level read carefully all advantages for the level and what is supported for even higher levels only.
Hmmm, there is a risk that if I promise a paid membership for a winner of some official tournament, some people would start cheating with chess computer programs etc. Maybe it could be done with games where is very little chance that there exists a program for them (Tablut, Tank Battle) because they are not well-known.
Any ideas?
About tournaments, if you play 2 games of each color and white has better chances to win, then the result will be mostly 1:1, won't it? So there is no difference between playing both-color games with three opponents and one game with each of 7 opponents in the section. I personally prefer the current solution. But I can support the mentioned tournament type later. The first tournament is only one type of all tournaments I plan to implement.
Looks like we'll have a tournament of all game types except Fortress Chess since only 3 players signed up for this game type tourney and the minimum of players is 4. Any volunteer to fix it up? ;-)
1) About round 2, the second possibility [playing more than 20 games] is more probable.
2) Yes, 7 [or less] spaces for one game type. If you sign up for all 21 games, you would need up to 147 spaces. Good motivation to upgrade to Brain Rook, eh? ;-)
Yes, the tournament games count towards the game limit. But this first tournament is an exception because I need to test the tournament system as much as possible. Currently the only limitation is that a pawn can join only one tournament.
But the next regular tournaments will be defined with some restrictions. For example if a player sings up for a tournament but when the sign-up process is finished and he/she doesn't have enough empty slots for new games, the player will be removed from this tournament.
