Subject: Timeout question
I am in my first ever tourney

ALL games for dummies (under 1500 & unrated) #10

and one player has not made a single move. My main page keeps telling me that they will run out of time but every time they do it resets and gives them another day! Why??

Lady Temper: Hiya and welcome to BK. I see if u win ur last 2 games U still will not move to next round. So if u would like to get into another tourney with shorter time to move. Just forfeit ur last 2 games and ask Fencer the BIG BOSS for the site to remove u. If I remember right he can do that for U. Oops forgot back to my corner to hide.

For those like me, that like chess, but aren't very good :o)

Or perhaps you would like to try playing a few games you haven't tried before.

BKR up to 1000, unrated players allowed if not too good a player

Lady Temper: New timing settings have been added to BrainKing, so tournaments in the future should not have this problem, but I don't think there's much you can do now but wait it out.

Subject: Taking forever
I am in a tournament where all my games are done except one (2with same person) and it has been dragging on. They are using automatic vacation to make their moves. I am new here but shouldn't there be a limit as to how long they can do this? Does not seem fair that they can drag a game out like that. (not judging just asking)

OK, so no one has to worry about being up all night... I made i a one section tournament only, so there will not be 2 sections. This is meant to be a fast tourney, so lets get it on!

First, it is a 2 hour limit - meaning up to 4 hours of playing (2 hours for each player).

And don't forget to let players know if 6 or more players join the tournament, there will be multiply sections - meaning if you win a section, you will have another 1 hour wait from when the first round is complete, then up to an additional 4 hours for the 2nd round to play.

    Subject: Re: No time off
    Grim Reaper: The option is only there when you first set up the tournament. Once the tournament is setup, you can not go back and change the days off settings.

    When setting up a new tournament, you will be given 3 choices:

    standard vacation
    fixed weekend only
    no days off

    OK... in my quick players club backgammon open 1
    http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?tri=46946

    I was looking at the players who havent finished any games yet, and noticed that some have only made like 3 moves oin any one game so far, and there is one person who was playing along in a game until they find they will lose and now has refused to make their next turn.

    know that nobody has broken the game paramaters, but you are breaking the spirit of the tournament. These are supposed to be fast games making many moves per day if they are waiting for your next move. know we are not always able to play super fast ( I was just away for the weekend myself) But if you are online I expect you to play your games in this tournament , and not to purposly stall.

    If this continues you will be banned from any future tournaments of this type.

    PLease dont ruin it for those of us who truely want a faster tournament. Thanks!

    there are many here from many countries.maybe we could agree to trade a coin or stamp for those who are interested.
    this could be a simple friendly jesture.
    it need not become a complex troublesome issue.
    what ye all think?
