<< < 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 > >> 1. July 2003, 07:47:48  I've created one more prize tournament - here :-) 1. July 2003, 11:10:13  Just 9 hours left for brain pawns to sign up for the tablut prize tournament! Win yourself a membership!! 4. July 2003, 22:23:44 Subject: Take No Prisoners Checker Tournament  I expect that the very best checker players will be there. 7. July 2003, 21:33:57 Subject: Killer Backgammon Because of overwhelming demand the Killer Backgammon tournament has been expanded to 24 players..three sections of 8. Sign up now. 9. July 2003, 10:24:23 Subject: Ongoing Tournament I hope someone can help resolve this.
The 'ZETES April open slowly tournament (backgammon)' is still running. The winners of both sections are still waiting to play each other. All section games were completed weeks ago. Both parties (loggerhead and NOT a floosie) have sent messages to zetes but have had no response, although here language could well be a barrier. What would be the next step? Also, as this tournament is still 'live' are any brain knights that were involved able to participate in any other backgammon tournament, or do they have to await the outcome of this one? 9. July 2003, 10:38:22 Subject: Re: Ongoing Tournament  bumble: The tournament as you say is still going lol - Is what i guess is what has happened is when a round is completed (as both sections are) the person who set the tournament gets a message to create the next round and start it, all i can think is maybe zetes has deleted it or not seen it, maybe Fencer can access it ??
Also, if a knight is still in that tournament, they can not enter another of the same until that has ended (unless Fencer has chnaged that recently) 9. July 2003, 11:49:21 Subject: Re: Ongoing Tournament I will start the second round ASAP. Zetes is probably on vacation or something.
Next time, you can immediately send a request directly to me, of course. 9. July 2003, 11:50:19 Subject: Re: Ongoing Tournament Thanks, MM! I didn't know how the tournament section system worked. 9. July 2003, 11:54:34 Subject: Re: Ongoing Tournament Done. 12. July 2003, 09:18:59 Subject: Re: Ongoing Tournament Oops, sorry it's a bit late, but thanks Fencer. 12. July 2003, 09:23:14 Subject: Checkers Tournament  I just wanted to post a reminder that in about 2 days, the ALL Checkers for dummies Tournament will start.
This tournament is for people rated 1500 or below (and unrated players - as long as you are not a very good player). If you don't know how to play some of the Checker games, this is the perfect time to learn - while others are learning so you won't get beat in 2 moves! :-) Side Note: Once the tournament starts, I will remove any player who happens to be over 1500 to keep it fair for everyone. (Since some unrated players signed up, then won 4 games and got a high rating.) 13. July 2003, 00:41:41 Subject: rated tournaments when i try to sign up for a tournament for players rated over 1800 i have got the message that the max. number of players has signed for this tournament. But....... 2 of the players are rated between 1500 and 1600! Is this a bug in the system? 13. July 2003, 02:03:33 A couple of things might have happened.
If unrated players are allowed to enter, they may have entered as unrated then got a low rating after signing up. Or they signed up when the had a rating over 1800, then quickly lost a few games sending their rating down quickly. WHAT I would do is contact the tournament creator because they can actually kick people out of the tournament, and may want to if they want to keep the "lower rated" players out - then again, the tournament creator might not care. :-) 13. July 2003, 02:07:48 Subject: ... last post cont. And now that I take a look at the tournament you are talking about, that tournament was created AT LEAST 12 days ago - if not more.
So with 2 weeks of playing, my guess is that the lower rated players ratings droped over the past couple of weeks! :-) 13. July 2003, 21:17:34 Subject: Re: ... last post cont.  BBW-
I just looked and I think they are actually talking about 1800+ Backgammon tourney Number 10 (1 game each) created by, um I can't remember this minute by who. Which was 'closed' for signup only 2 days ago but hasn't been started yet. There are indeed 2 players rated under 1800. But either of the scenarios you described could certainly have happened. Though, I also recall a bug in relation to this sort of thing being talked about not too long ago. Maybe this tourney was also created during that time? Don't know if that would make a difference. :-) 14. July 2003, 17:26:26 Subject: Clarification Please If a BrainPawn is in a running tournament, has finished all their games in their section, and statistically cannot advance to the next round, can they join a new tournament or must they wait for the tournament to finish despite the fact they can no longer play? 14. July 2003, 17:32:55 Subject: re: Clarification Please As it is currently set up, the pawn can NOT join a new tournament until the SECTION they are in is complete. (So if there are many sections, you just have to wait until the one you are in is complete - and you are not the winner)
And in case you are the winner, you will have to wait until the next rounds starts and then completes before you can join a new tournament. hope this helps! BBW (BIG BAD WOLF) 14. July 2003, 17:36:02 Subject: Re: Clarification Please Better system will be implemented in the future.
Meanwhile, if it is absolutely clear that the pawn won't advance to the second round and his section is not finished yet, he can contact me and I will mark him as "eliminated" of the tournament, so he'll be able so sign up for another one. 14. July 2003, 20:25:16 Subject: -- Tournament for dummies -- NEW TOURNAMENT: ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated)
OK, the new tournament is not actually for dummies - just people who may not be good at certain games. ALSO are there games on this site you have never tried? Like Tablut or Tank Battle? Well here is a perfect chance to try them because I allow unrated players to join also! (and long as the unrated player is not too good). Pawns & Knights only need 4 free spaces for each tournament. Tournament to start at the end of July. To sign up - Check out the Tournament! BBW (BIG BAD WOLF) 15. July 2003, 00:48:55 Subject: Re: ... last post cont. It must be a bug, one of the players can not have had a 1800+ rating lately, he won much more games then he lost. I don't think i have to ASK the tournament creator to remove such a player. When creating a 1800+ tourney the creator has to do that automaticly or announce it as a open tournament. I also think that unrated players never can join a 1800+ tournament because they don't have a 1800+ BKR! 15. July 2003, 20:43:08 Subject: Re: Clarification Please What about Knights who have completed a tournament and want to join another tournament of the same type, but must wait for other slow players to finish? 16. July 2003, 02:47:32 Yes - until your section finishes, and you do not advance. However, as Fencer said with pawns, if you have no mathematical chance to win the section, you can let him know and he will mark you as eliminated so you can join another tournament of the same type. 16. July 2003, 06:43:16 Subject: Re: Kevin,
Perhaps I should have been more explicit in my quetioning. There are two tournaments (one in keryo19, and one in restricted keryo13) that I have already won and finished all my games. Therefore, I certainly don't want to be eliminated from them! The bad news (for me, at least) is that two other players are still playing their what now amount to irrelevant games. As rules stand now, if I try to enter another tournament of either of these types, I get some message to the effect that I cannot enter because I'm already playing in a tournament (which I have already completed and won)!!? 16. July 2003, 06:45:37 Pioneer: "Eliminated" in only an internal database term and has nothing to do with some real eliminating. It only tells the system that the particular player is free for other tournaments. 18. July 2003, 10:27:08 Subject: where are the prize tournaments did they all go away,lol, Hello everbody, have a nice and safe Day, 18. July 2003, 18:09:02 All the ones that had been created either started or finished by now. Until someone starts another one, there won't be any more :-) 18. July 2003, 21:10:31 In order for Fencer to get a new server which will enable us to play uninterrupted we are holding a money drive.
We arent asking for alot but if everyone on this site donated just one dollar we could help Fencer get the new server which is needed. Read more about it on the Brainking board. Thanks 19. July 2003, 04:29:18 i have finished with the open 5 in line tourny so why can i not join another 19. July 2003, 04:37:41 There are still games remaining in your section - you have to wait for your section to finish before you can join another.
Or, you can message Fencer and he will mark you as eliminated from the tournament so you can join another. 19. July 2003, 05:16:50  If I start a tournament that has more than 1 section of players, will it automatically make a another game for the winners of each of those sections so they can play against each other?? 19. July 2003, 05:55:06  what i think happens .. and someone correct me if i am wrong.. is that the next round will be created automatically.... but before the round begins the tournament creater gets a message to start the next round.. and there must be a button somewhere for you to push... 19. July 2003, 09:56:48 Thats right, Watson, if you have 2 or more sections you will have at least one more round after the first games are complete. You will get a note in your mailbox saying 'All Sections Completed', you then visit that tournament page and start the next round. Good luck :o) 19. July 2003, 14:21:37 Thanks lovelysharon and harley...glad to know I get a message and don't have to keep checking the tournament to see if the first round is complete :~) 19. July 2003, 16:38:33 Subject: tournament players wanted all line games for 1500+
beginners line games 1500 and under both tourns could do with a few players for a couple of games so if you wanna learn or take on the best now is your chance, thanks all, starts tomorrow. 22. July 2003, 10:29:30 Subject: Madmonkeys July 'Jamboree' Any players who have a little room for a game of Chess, Checkers, Spider 4, Pente, Reversi or Battle boats please Click Here and sign up for tournament starting Wed 23rd :)
Also other games as well there..... 22. July 2003, 23:15:24 Subject: Fiona's first all in a line tournament Hi everyone i am still a player short for Linetris and Small Pente if anyone is interested in signing up as i will be starting the tournament tomorrow :-) 23. July 2003, 10:27:58 Subject: Madmonkeys July 'Jamboree' Any players who have a little room for a game of Checkers, Pente or Reversi Click Here to sign up for tournament starting today.
There are a few other games there as well, but desperate for players in the above games :-) ALSO Any Madhouse members, there are only 4 places left in the Scrabble tournament, go to the fellowship to sign up. 24. July 2003, 00:36:39 Subject: KM Halma 8X8 Sign up until Jly 31 if you are interested in playing Halma 8X8. No prisoners will be taken. G/L 24. July 2003, 09:02:23 Subject: Re: Clarification Please yes i wonder that, in 1 tournament i am in i can not win it ,as a knight can i enter anouther tournament of the same game type ? 24. July 2003, 09:24:07 Subject: Re: Clarification Please From what I understand, if you contact Fencer he will eliminate you from that tournament so you will be able to join another of that type. 24. July 2003, 10:18:55 Subject: Re: Clarification Please ok ,Thank you , i will ask him. 24. July 2003, 11:46:21 Subject: tourneys  new tournaments are ready to be signed up for all on a nine day limit to help with holidays ect ,
backgammon nackgammon crowded race anti backgammon pente tablut checkers five in line under 1600 and over 1600 battleboats all start on and after 2 august jasons games room tourneys hope to see you there ;~))) 24. July 2003, 12:02:34 Subject: KM Parachute Checkers Signups are being accepted at this time for the KM Parachute Checkers tournament. All players are welcomed to come and participate. See how you fare against everyone else that enters. 24. July 2003, 22:37:14 Actually I know that Fencer had at least for 1 tournament (the $250 Gothic Chess tournament) made it so the person ranked #1 was in section #1, rank #2 was in section #2, etc...
BUT I don't know if this was just a 1 time thing, if it is random, or some sort of pattern. 24. July 2003, 22:41:58 Subject: tournament section setup I would like to suggest an advancement.
The highest rated player is set to group 1 - the next-highest to group 2 and so roundrobin on. Such a system would come close to the World Tennis Tour setup and avoid annoying asymmetries in the first rounds imho ... Perhaps implementable as option for the tournament creator ... ~*~ 25. July 2003, 00:15:28 Subject: Re: System I think if you look at the way the sections in tournament are sorted there is some sort of ranking based on BKR.
For example if there are 24 people in a tournament and there are 3 sections. If 3 of those entrants have 2000+ ratings you will find one is put in each section along with if you had 3 under 1000. 25. July 2003, 00:23:39 It used to be random but since the $250 gothic chess tournament it is not. Please read more on http://gothicchess.org. 25. July 2003, 04:10:07 Subject: oops I missed the telegraph :") thanks for the info ... :) ... ~*~ << < 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 > >> |
