THE HIT MAN: If a tournament is set at say 1500BKR and below to sign up, a player can only sign up who is 1500 and below. However if that tournament starts weeks later, and that player has moved to 2000, they will still be included. It's up to the creator of the tournament to remove anyone from the tournament before it starts if they are over 1500.

In addition, if you let unrated players sign up, after 4 completed games they may also be over 1500 BKR.

I think that explains it.

I just gave you the answer below about IYT:

If the rounds at IYT go for a bit, and someone asks the owner there to end the tournament instead of starting new rounds, it is done. Otherwise, the computer there will continue to make new rounds forever.

Is it just me, or in the hyper team tourney currently running, do the games in which the two fellowships that have been deleted, seem to not be continuing?

SunFire: BeaverBoy brought it up, then he and shagglbrox accused me of being wrong. Obviously my last post proved that I was right. But perhaps we can close the book on IYT now.

The bottom line is that ties are ok, if a game, match, or tournament is played to a tie, but not when the tying players never face each other. Also, if a tournament is co-won, there should be something indicating so.

You are all wrong. There have been ties there in the past as I have said. Look at Ilurath's profile:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?userprofile?userid=15200000661830


He "won" the August 2002 Main #1 Tournament in pente. Now look at Dmitri King's profile:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?userprofile?userid=15200000385955


He also "won" the same tournament! The standings at the end of the 'final' round are here:
>http://itsyourturn.com/iyt.dll?tourn_showplayers?id=265&gmtypeid=42&r=9&type=2&st=1&range=10


I don't care what the rules at IYT say, they are obviously not correct.

Thad: No offense Thad, but the rules at IYT state there can be ties for sections, but:
"When all games in all sections are completed, the players who scored highest in their sections advance to the next round, where they are placed in new sections. The process repeats until there is a single champion for each game type within a tournament."

There was a Keryo tourney I saw there went 10 rounds, the last 6 or 7 or which were between just 3 guys, but a winner finally emerged. Ask "Steve (who sometimes waits until round 10 to lose)"

Anyway, who cares, that's IYT - I agree with your point though, ties suck - maybe Fencer could allow an option (like time limit options) to set whether a tourney can end in a tie or not?

Subject: Re: Tournaments
SunFire: I doubt you won because your BKR was lowest. You probably were awarded the win because your S-B score was highest. Which tournament was it?

Subject: Tournaments
Some tournaments end in a tie but I think there is always a winner.
I was in one that just ended and it was a three way tie but because I had the lowest BKR of all of us it gave me the win of the tournament :o)

BeaverBoy: You are wrong, Beaverboy. Tournaments at ITY do not always go until there is a winner. I know there are tournaments listed in their history that have two winners. If I knew the date of one, I would post it here, but offhand, I do not. I will try and go back and find one when I get a chance so you'll have proof.

PS: 3 rounds with just 2 players ain't any big deal. I've gone nine rounds there more than once. And I know I've gone at least five with just one other player. ;-)

JamesHird: Absolutely. I'd feel better about second place if I had played partica in my tournament and lost than I do about being the 'winner' of it.

Thad: True Thad, sometimes there is a tie.
But I think the point is, they keep going until it is 1 against 1.
Having two winners in a tourament is kinda pointless though when they havent even had the chance to play a round with just the 2 of them dont you think?

Yes, Thad has a good idea. Maybe limit the tournament to 1 or 2 tie breaking rounds? then if no winner is determined, it is a tie..

Thad 
Subject: Re: Re:
Fencer: An extra round or two would be better than an automatic tie. Ties are ok, but not when there hasn't been any attempt at all to break it. In my case, partica & I never faced each other in the tournament we were co-winners of. That is a travesty. We should have faced each other AT LEAST once before a tie was declared.

23. April 2005, 10:37:56
rod03801 
True..

Doesn't seem like it would happen that often though..

I just hate ties! LOL...

I wasn't taking into consideration more than 2 people involved in the tie.. The 2 win match to break the tie, obviously wouldn't work in situations with 3 or more people..

Fencer 
Subject: Re:
rod03801: If you have a round with only 1 section containing 4 players (for example) and all of them would be the winners, the next round would be exactly the same.

23. April 2005, 10:25:52
rod03801 
I agree. I hate tournaments ending in a tie..
Why would they be endless? Wouldn't it be possible to have those people remaining play a 2 win match to decide? (I think the 3 win matches when there are only 2 people, are too much)

23. April 2005, 10:20:56
