im still locked out of a tourney even as a member, b/c i cant enter more than 1 version of that game. im in espionage and i won my section almost immediately, and the other section hasnt even scratched the surface of their 1st round games yet.isnt there a way to get into another tourney while i wait. it could possibly last over a year before i can enter another tourney.
Hrqls: The smile page still hasn't been updated to show what a 141 is, so I hope that's a nice smiley...
ClayNashvilleTn: The misconceptions appear at any site... Most people just don't bother trying all the links. "New game" is the only link that some of the players around here know...
Nothing at all to be afraid of. The one thing pawns should be aware of though is that they are tied to that tournament until it's completion, unless they've completed all their games and are taking no further part in the tourney and they talk very nicely to Fencer who might release them.
JamesHird: Which brings up a good point.
I played every day for two years as a pawn and never entered a tournament.
Played several weeks after paying and never did.
For some reason some people are reluctant to participate in tourneys.
I was slow to get involved and was leery of tournaments. I only read GC and didn't see much said about them. Wasn't even sure that I could, if I didn't belong to a F/S.
There are a lot of misconceptions, as to who can do what or when.
I have asked pawn friends to get involved and most all seem to be afraid.
Yea, it's just how Fencer has it programed - to make it easy, it just looks for 5 free game slots for "1 game per 2 players", and 10 free game slots for "2 games per 2 players" .... even if more or less game slots are needed.
(So a pawn may have 10 free game slots, start a tournament and add 14 games bringing the total to 24 games, which they would then need to get the total back down below 20 before starting any new after that.)
I've seen lots of tournaments where the tournament creator states that pawns and knight must have 10 available slots to enter the tournamente. However some of those have a maximum of 8 players per section with 2 games between each player, giving a maximum of 14 possible games on one section for each player.
So how many free slots does a pawn really need to enroll in such tournaments?
Interested in playing Tablut? Sign up for my beginners Tablut series of tournaments for players with 1500 BKR or less (unrated is allowed).
There are 10 tournaments in all, starting each week for the next 9 weeks (the first tournament started last Monday) and the winners of each one will be invited to a final Beginners Tablut event which will start at the end of tournament #10.
If the same person wins two events, the place in the final will be awarded to the runner up of the later tournament.
There is no physical prize, other than the reward for playing such a great game and the chance to win a tournament against other new (or poor, or both!) players.
ClayNashvilleTn: I agree with Harley but have found it better if you dont join...In regards to big BKR's LOLOL....desperate for a quid (dollar)...$64.50 Australian today but by the time Fencer took charges etc out of it, there wouldnt be too much left I dont think. Going by what has been said about charges in the Czech Rep. :(
harley:hehehehe I am really trying not to get destroyed in my own tournament! Have you seen some of those "BIG" BKR's.........Zowie the BIG GUNS are signing up!
well you should be able to stay in your own tournament clay , alot of the prize tournaments that has had a prize of somesort has also had the creators in them ... if you won one of them you could always donate it to a good cause
ClayNashvilleTn: rATHER GENEROUS OF YOU i MUST SAY :) oops sorry caps.....I hope you dont join your own tournaments :( I joined my prize tournaments and got shouted out LOLOL...what and how would you explain winning? You have good number joining tho...congrats :)
ClayNashvilleTn: It looks like it is going to be a GREAT first tournament for you. Come on everyone....sign up. Let's see if we can get a record number of entries and have some fun. :o)
If you would like to start the week with a couple of quick games of back and hyper then join my tournaments - Sandy's Sunday Quickie - only 24 places available.
redfrog: Thanks, bro - while I didn't have the stones to manage all the sections, I'm proud to have my first tourney win hosted by and populated with some great players!
Play Backgammon, Hyper-Backgammon, Battleboats and Five-in-Line!!!! Prize of $50 USD to each tournament winner. Funds will be held by BrainKing and paid to winners at the end of the tournament. This change was made due to the difficulty in managing the funds for the MILIION DOLLAR PRIZE and felt a one-time PRIZE of $50 USD is in the best interest of the tournament! What a GREAT opportunity! Let's PLAY GAMESSSSSSS!!!!!
Congratulations to Billmo8 for winning the second section of my tourney - well played sir. I did so poorly in that variation that I can only sleep at night knowing I was beaten by the winner... congrats on winning Pente and more Pente - and then some more - Pente
Well - it looks like shagglbrox has won the first section completed in my tourney - Although this was the worst possible outcome, his undeniable talents carried him through - Congratulations to my big brother for winning Pente and more Pente - and then some more - Keryo Pente
