lukec: What does it mean "pelota"?
In spanish means ball. Is it  signed by Milan Baros? :)

Big tournament with interesting prize: Velký vyřazovací pavouk o zajímavou cenu

Mr. Shumway: That is correct. 40 tournament wins (51 including ponds)

Random Game tournaments - some pages know what to do with them, some do not.

BIG BAD WOLF: that makes it clear, thank you :) So the number which is messed up is the one on the Winners page - it should be either 40 (excluding) or 51 (including) ponds. right? ;)

Mr. Shumway: OK, I know - it's a little complex - hopefully Fencer will read this since it looks like a small bug also.

On main profile page (under name, next to win/loss record) = won tournaments is the total amount of tournaments you won (NO PONDS - All tournaments) (you won a total of 40 tournaments.)

In Profile, in completed games - it will show you how many games you won for each tournament type. If you add this up, you will come up with 34. Why 34? Because RANDOM GAME tournaments are not shown on this page.

In the Winners page, this total is your Won games (NOT INCLUDING YOUR RANDOM GAME TOTAL) so 34 - PLUS Pond wins (which is 11) = which brings to the total of 45.

Are you still with me? Hope so, because I'm a little lost.

Anyway, seems like a bug. Not sure what the best way to fix it - maybe in the Finished games page in the profile, right below the "ponds", maybe a row for "Random Tournaments" - not to keep win/lose records since that is kept with the type of game you played, but just to keep the tournament won total for random game tournaments.

You have won 34 regular tournament & 6 Random game tournaments, and 11 ponds.

furbster: thanks anyway :)

i don't know then, i deleted my previous post as i had a quick peak after i wrote it, im nto sure where they come from then

furbster: No: 6 normal, 3 rain and 2 dark..

On my profile it says that I won 40 tournaments - but on the Winners page, I'm listed with 45. Does anybody know where this discrepancy comes from?

Hrqls: You CAN leave a stair in which you are still playing a game - and you will continue playing that game. I just tried it ;)

Hrqls: thank you very much.

gringo: you cant leave a stairs when you are still playing a game

you can retire on a stairs though (even when you have some games going), you wont lose your position that way and the outcome of your ongoing games will still count (you will drop or raise acording to your win or loss, although you cant see it as you are not shown while being retired)

I have a question concerning stairs: If I leave a stair I lose my position on the stair, so far it's clear to me. But can I finish my started stair games or do I lose them automatically?

To 529 on winnig the q107 chess tournament.

Mr. Shumway: Yes.

Fencer: Thanks, sorry I will have to re-write it, I put a test on the discription

Fencer: did you ever decline a change?

WellyWales: You probably missed the red message all changes must be confirmed by me before they are visible.

I tried adding a description after setting up a tournament, I pressed edit, but it does not show, is this normal

it seems that knock out tournaments need all games to be finished before a next round starts ?

for example : this tournament

it would be nice if those fnished games of which the future is finished as well would start their next game

grenv: Fencer always get 30%

This tournament Winner takes all.

has a first prize 70%. Who gets the other 30%??

Random Five (Pente, Keryo Pente, or Pro Five in Line) with 2 games (switched colors) for each two players.

Come on everyone join this tourney, first 32 to join. Its a random tourney but only 1 version of chess and checkers are included. Elimination tourney so not loads of games at once, come on we can all play 1 more game, can't we?

Rose: Thanks for the help, I will just join.

Uninvited: I'd say you can either ask the person who created the tourney if they mind you joining, Or Join up and if they don't want you in they may remove you or send you anote. I've joined many tournies that I couldn't understand the tourney guidelines. I assumed if I wasn't wanted in I would be removed but that has never happened.</i>

There are some tournaments I would like to join but I only know how to read english, I notice there are no americans signed up for these.
Is there a way I can tell if they don't want americans to join ?

It really stinks that (I) Kiwiyeti is holding up this tournament:
All about Pente!
and (II) that Fencer won't change things so that tournaments advance once a round winner is determined, even if all games are not complete. Slow play is fine, meaninglessly holding up a tournament is not.

All sections have their minimum number of players signed up; well done and thank you.
We'll just wait until 30 June to see if any more want to sign up.

Thanks Big Bad Wolf.

azeria: Yup, that is one of the "downsides" in being a pawn.

Many times, as long as you are done with your games in a tournament (like you are), and you have no chance to move on to the next round, if you send a message to Fencer and ask if he can "release" you from the tournament so you can join another one, he will normally do that.

Ok... I'm confused... I finished all my games for this tournament a long time ago... months... and don't have any chance of going any further. Yet, I can still not sign up for any other tournament until this one is over. People seem to be taking to long to finish their games... and meanwhile... I can't start anything new. Just a little frustrated.

Keep up the actual discussion people, I like to see that :D
