Hrqls: It shouldn't be a problem with random games. Wouldn't reseeding the players for the next round be easy enough to do? Or just leave it seeded as it was in the first round and continue the pairings based on the first round seeding?
as MysticRiver's membership will expire tomorrow, will the over 200 tournaments created by her be deleted? it would really enhance the tournament tip which now says Race For The Gold Backgammon 2100+ 8 Players (Backgammon) most of the time.
tiv noi: I removed the tourament tips because all that was ever coming up were her tournies as well. I hope they are all deleted. Are there still over a years worth that she set up?
Retep: From rules: "Who loses all pieces including the king or cannot make a legal move, wins the game." However, this question belongs to the Chess Variants 8x8 board.

SafariGal: yea, the person created A LOT of tournaments before their membership ran out - but they were all created when they were a rook before their membership ran out.
BIG BAD WOLF: in that case, if pawns are not eligible to create, maybe all his should be deleted? It seems the only tournaments advertised on the main page are his
Subject: Re: This has me a little confused as to how it ended a tie
Jim Dandy: What does "S-B" column at tournament tables mean?
S-B is an abbreviation for Sonneborn-Berger system. It is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points and is based on a theory that points earned with a stronger opponent are more valuable than with a weaker one. The S-B value is a total sum of points of opponents who lost the tournament game with the player and half points of opponents who drawn the tournament game with the player. Only if two or more players have the same number of "normal" and S-B points, they share the same final order.
All players got 3 points, and all players won once against each opponent. Seems correct to me.

Jim Dandy: Stronger/weaker players refers to their performance in the current tournament, not their rating. I thought the same as you until I checked it out again now. http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=19
