Groeneveld: I could start such a tournament but the probability that this tournament will attract 50 or even more players is quite small. Unless I would donate a couple of years of BK-memberships ;) The second reason, besides the one-year-membership, why the "Confucius"-tournament had so many participants was that Xiangqi was quite new on this site then.
So, if you want to have another great XQ-event you would have to donate something and you would have to wait a couple of months. Because at the moment the top players are waiting for the second round of the Confucius-tournament which is about to start soon. And most of the active XQ-players are involved in the Glenfiddich team tournament.
Nirvana: I've signed up for a lot in the PIPIKUV CAS. It would be helpful if there were some kind of "all games" reference, otherwise many players probably just overlook these.
where it has the date, it has todays date the 8'th and it shows the last date to sign up as the 14, I don't know what I should put for the date to start and the last date to sign up can you help?
Babygirlle: I'm not sure where you're seeing the two dates, the one you need to be concerned about is where it says "Last term to sign up" right below the minimum number of players. Thats the date your tourney will start.
JMDLOVESNirvana: I believe in the past players have had monetary prizes.. but, that money has to be collected by Fencer first.. before the tourney will start..
arpa: Yea, it was pointed out awhile back that tournaments which use the cube are not caluclated corretly - I think I posted on this board what I found out.
I'm not sure if anyone had told Fencer, or posted it in the Bug tracker yet. But I think Fencer is planning a big update to the tournament code, so he may just be waiting until that happens to fix it all at that time.
gringo: Well when new things are programmed (tournaments with cube), sometimes things like this happens.
Normally what Fencer does is when he does fix something like this, he will go back and "fix" all past tournaments so I'm sure that it will be fixed sooner or later - probable just not a top priority.
BIG BAD WOLF: well, but when next round starts and different players advance than using normal rules, I am really wondering how can this be fixed later...
BIG BAD WOLF: Is it probable that there are multiple rounds in most tournaments? I would say that there are probably are, or maybe not. Let's multiply some numbers together and calculate the probability.
Thad: Well I do not think we need to calcuate how many gammon cubed tournaments there are, but since what I have seen is that gammon tournaments with a cube are less popular then lets say a gammon tournament without the cube, I would think that a majority of cubed gammon tournaments only have 1 section. (under 8 players)
Not saying that makes it any less important of an issue since even if a few tournaments are calulated wrong and someone is unable to move to the next round in a tournament is too many in my opinion.
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
