Nothingness 
Subject: forever tourney...
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.

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...

pawns in a tournament :

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.

Subject: Re: With a prize like that..............
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.)

pauloaguia: I did a search and found a previous post by BBW:

"For the 2 games per 2 players, players will need 10 slots open. Even if a player starts 6 or 8 games, they will still need 10 games slots open."

Subject: Pawns and tournaments... again
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?

Subject: Beginners Tablut (Series of 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.

When I have prize tourneys, I say if I win, I'll give the prize to the second place winner. Not that I've ever won one of my own tourneys

I think your right! It says Maximum 8 for each section so I guess one section can be short that number.

This is my first tourney and have already made several mistakes! Just trying to head off goof ups!

What is the highest number of players in a tournament as a rule?

What is the most ever?

What do you do if the right number doesnt sign up to balance the teams?

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!!!!!
