You are all wrong. There have been ties there in the past as I have said. Look at Ilurath's profile:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?userprofile?userid=15200000661830


He "won" the August 2002 Main #1 Tournament in pente. Now look at Dmitri King's profile:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?userprofile?userid=15200000385955


He also "won" the same tournament! The standings at the end of the 'final' round are here:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?tourn_showplayers?id=265&gmtypeid=42&r=9&type=2&st=1&range=10


I don't care what the rules at IYT say, they are obviously not correct.

SunFire: BeaverBoy brought it up, then he and shagglbrox accused me of being wrong. Obviously my last post proved that I was right. But perhaps we can close the book on IYT now.

The bottom line is that ties are ok, if a game, match, or tournament is played to a tie, but not when the tying players never face each other. Also, if a tournament is co-won, there should be something indicating so.

SunFire: If the rounds at IYT go for a bit, and someone asks the owner there to end the tournament instead of starting new rounds, it is done. Otherwise, the computer there will continue to make new rounds forever.

Your welcome.

Is it just me, or in the hyper team tourney currently running, do the games in which the two fellowships that have been deleted, seem to not be continuing?

THE HIT MAN 
Subject: 1
Fencer? What is this over rated players,playing in tournaments that have a specifed BKR rating?

27. April 2005, 23:30:36
Bry 
Subject: Re: 1
THE HIT MAN: If a tournament is set at say 1500BKR and below to sign up, a player can only sign up who is 1500 and below. However if that tournament starts weeks later, and that player has moved to 2000, they will still be included. It's up to the creator of the tournament to remove anyone from the tournament before it starts if they are over 1500.

In addition, if you let unrated players sign up, after 4 completed games they may also be over 1500 BKR.

I think that explains it.

27. April 2005, 23:32:07
furbster 
yeh i dont know if it'd be possible, but what about autokicking people out of tourneys who are to high at sign ups? obviosuly not teh unrated players

coan.net 
I know for any of my "tournament for dummies" for players rated 1500 or below, about a day or so before the tournament starts, I actually go through manually and kick out anyone who is way above 1500. (If someone now has 1525 or something close I usually let them stay - but if it's like 1700, then they are gone.)

But even then, some are unrated and even within hours of it starting they can shot from unrated to 2100.

OptimistMB 
Subject: Re:
BIG BAD WOLF: I like that way of handling it. If a player is normally just under 1500 and happens to win three games in a row right before the tournament, an automatic system would knock him out even though he may be back under 1500 after three more games.

furbster: yes I"ve seen that to ,but I can"t sigh up

27. April 2005, 23:52:28
Thad 
Subject: Re:
furbster: I agree, the system should not let you sign up if you are over 1500 (or whatever the limit is) and it should check again when it starts. This should be done automatically.

Sence I have had tournaments, I:ve been watching them.I"ve seen ppl sigh in when there is minus time showing left on them.That is going to be very hard for me to control my next tournament.

but if they are over your maximum limit then they cant join the tournament

yeh but that would take him ages, especially if he has all games, + players could still go above the suggested rating

THE HIT MAN 
Subject: MY TOURNAMENTS
Sorry.But in my Tournaments if you don;t enter in 10 games or more you are going to be removed.Because they are most games WON TOURNAMENTS with prizes.Hopefully this is going to resolve the problems.Due to all BKR ratings

Subject: Re: 1
THE HIT MAN: the tournaments starting time arent checcked every minute, so it can show minus a couple of minutes before it starts .. i think this wont be longer than 10 minutes though (i think the starting times are checked every 10 minutes)

Hrqls 
Subject: Re:
furbster: i thought tournaments already kicked players out who are too high ?

i couldnt join some tournaments because my bkr was either too high or too low

i am not sure though if thats just at the moment when i sign up .. or also when the tournament actually starts

what happens if a players raises above (or drops below) the set bkr limits during the tournament ? should the player be removed as well ? ;)

Subject: bkr-maximum
hi all. me also i signed up for a game with max-bkr. the problem were that during the tournament i got 200 points over the BKR-maximum. so........ :-))))

28. April 2005, 13:12:23
Hrqls 
Subject: bkr minimum
i think i dropped below the bkr minimum some times (bg 2100+ tournaments) and nothing happened .. dont know for sure though .. but it guess i did :)

28. April 2005, 13:40:02
ClayNashvilleTN 
Subject: Re: bkr minimum
Hrqls: When you set a high and a low then doesn't that automatically stop those people outside the boundaries from signing up?

28. April 2005, 13:46:52
Hrqls 
yes it does .. but i was around 2100 at that time ... so as soon as i was above 2100 i signed up ... i would finish some more games before the tournament started .. and drop below 2100

so i would be below the minimum when the tournament started

i think thats what the hitman talks about ?

Hrqls: I kept reading all the post and couldn't figure out what all the beef was about.

Jason 
i think the hitmans main point was that unrated people maybe signing up and then before the tournaments starts they might have won all four games and have a very high rating ...because the system will not then boot them out for being over the limit
