BTW, for some time I was not sure about Fischer clock implementation, which of 2 possibilities it covers. Now I know, but anyway I think the other option I had in mind would have some sense too, may be it can be added. It differs by this: Limit doesnt mean the maximum time left in a game, but maximum time total in the game (the length of the game for one party)
fungame: Just set the bonus in a fischer's clock game to 0 - then the time will be for the complete game for one party (since no bonus time will be added for each move.)
BIG BAD WOLF: yes, that's true but what if I want to limit time for one move, then my new option would fulfill this, you cannot do it with what you wrote, that way the opponent has for example 2 days for whole game, but what I wrote can result in 2 days for whole game but 5 hours for each move max. How can you achieve this now?
edit: perhaps not really 5 hours per move, but at least 5 hours added per move
fungame: I still don't think I understand what you are trying to say.
So for example, a game where each player will have a total of 2 days to make his moves (weather he makes them in 1 hour, or starts to make them after a day. = = = Fisher's Clock: 2/0/2
So for example, a game where each player should never take more then 5 hours after the last player played to make a move = = = Fisher's Clock: .5/.5/.5 (or course this could end up taking longer then 2 days)
Binabik: I believe that if you resign a game, it counts as a loss. You can delete a regular game before a certain number of moves are made, but I don't know if that applies in a tournament. I'll see if I can find out
Pawns cannot delete their games. Tournament games cannot be deleted by anyone. If you resign a game where under 2 moves by each of the sides have been made, it still counts as a loss but you don't lose any BKR points.
Pedro Martínez: Thank you Pedro and Baddessi! I did look at the FAQ list and it wasn't there. So the worst that can happen is that you won't win the tourney. Thanks again!
BIG BAD WOLF: It doesn't apply in the finals. I don't know if it's a bug or not but that's the way it is. Try resigning some tournament game that is in the first-section stage.
Pedro Martínez: Well that is pointless! If I wanted to resign from games in the first section, I just would not sign up for the tournament in the first place!
BIG BAD WOLF: Sure, it doesn't apply to matches. Someone could resign the last match game with no moves performed (just in this last game) and avoid a BKR loss.
A question on this type of setting (Time: 3 hours, Bonus: none, Limit: 3 hours, no days off)
I presume the game has to be completed in 3 hours , if say we had moved in the game but the game wasnt finished would the loser be the one that still has the turn on thier main page ? or is there more to it .
Actually, the game would be over in 6 hours. (Each person has 3 hours for their moves) Though, it doesn't check for time outs constantly, so there are actually a few more minutes allowed at the end...
Since some players condone sending duplicate pawn IDs into tournaments to effect the outcome, this will cure that and produce a valid checkers champion of BrainKing.
Alexis has agreed to meet with the winner, based on the contract we have with her for promotional events and appearances for 2005/2006. I don't think some of you take this seriously, but the prize is there for the taking, and if more people don't sign up, I am going to join!
One of my tournament games, I am having a problem with. Who do I contact? Everytime I submit my move, it takes my move, but it shows back up as a game it is my turn to move in and my move was not recorded. I have made this move over and over again, and keep getting it back. A quick answer would be helpful, as I only have 20 hours left to make my move and nothing is working. Thanks to whoever can help me with this or point me in the right direction of who to ask for help.
I've just had three tournament games..all wins .. when submitting last move .. screen turned white and I believe they dropped off my list... no messages of wins.. how do i get game numbers??.. I think i'll stop playing for tonight until Fencer can straighten out..
(hide) When moving in a game you can choose which one will show up next by selecting the appropriate option in the list next to the submit button. (pauloaguia) (show all tips)
