fungame:OH, I think that is a given at this point!

BIG BAD WOLF: Then does that mean I would receive a higher score if I beat someone with a higher BKR?

Thanks

On the tournament tables, what is the difference in points and score. Which decides winner?

Not that it matters though

myfanwy: Thank you too

rod03801: Thanks for the info. Back to the drawing board! LOL

DUMB QUESTION TIME: Our team 'BrainKingSupporters' is in the 2.nd row of 2.nd section of 'Don Perignon Backgammon Tournament'

Must we finish 1st to keep from being eliminated?

Thad: Sorry, I will delete my post

Purple: YES and YES. I am currently seeking a competant plastic surgeon to restore my, what was once sooooooo apparent, youthful appearance.

bwildman:Yes all 3 of them! LOL

Purple:HMMMMMMMMMM We do take prisioners and we Will not only finish second as I humbly tried to be I will now state and declare that BrainKingSupporters
will win this tourney, going away! LOL

In fact I may just be talked into placing a few shekels on it!

furbster & Rose I thought at 62 years of age I was pretty wise. "NOT" I have learned sooooo much being a member of BK in dealing with people when you have multiple goals.

Treating people as you would want to be treated is something I have had pounded into me since I was a teenager.hmmmmmmmmmm It still holds water and I am sticking with it, even if we only finish second in this tourney.

Andersp: I asked so that I would and could understand the rules.

I will admit that when several others with higher BKR's joined the team later after the first 8 did it made me wonder and think.

I suspect I am not the first person to have those thoughts. If I am I am surprised.

I suspect it has even been done before. I would hope not. I will not either. I have never had a tournament team before and have now learned to be patient and wait until everyone that wants to join, joins.

I made the mistake of running too fast out of excitement but have learned that if you wait, then you watch AD sweat when he as team captain has to decide which 8 plays and who doesn't.

Would you think it would be best in a F/S to just state the first 8 or is it not fair to say, sign up and then we will pick the best 8? Which do you guys do?

Can you replace a lower BKR memeber with a higher BKR now, before the tourney begins?

I got all my team memebers to play off, so we can get low scoring opponents

DANG, Bry....How did you manage to find all those guys with the high averages?

BIG BAD WOLF: Have you tried Tums for the tummy?

BIG BAD WOLF: OK then what is our handicap ?

We have a combined team total average of 2116.75

Anyone top that? I don't think so.

BIG BAD WOLF:You guys just may live to regret all this HELP you are giving because we have one more power house team and we are hungry for our first win.

Dang AD I did that an hour ago! Get out of that GO-Rilla suit and play ball, errrrr I meant BackGammon!

Rose: OK, "BINGO" we got 8 players, what do I do next? duhhh

Grim Reaper: DANG, Ed how tall is she???

BIG BAD WOLF: Thanks, must all of my eight come from only my f/s?

You are not a captain of Backgammon team.


I have never done this before, but I would like to enter a team........."You are not a captain of Backgammon team."

What does this mean and what must I do to enter a team?

BIG BAD WOLF: You might get more participation if you changed the title to be more politically correct. "Game board challenged"

Jason: If you look at everyones graph showing BKRs it would be almost an impossibility to do that. Alot of people are up and down constantly.

Hrqls: I kept reading all the post and couldn't figure out what all the beef was about.

Hrqls: When you set a high and a low then doesn't that automatically stop those people outside the boundaries from signing up?

Bry: Dang..............all this time I thought they just kept you around for your quick finger! You be too smart!

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.

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!

Jason: I kind of agree with you but I don't want any contention. I have removed myself from playing in any of the games.

BerniceC: I was wondering about that! I think I will go and remove my name! It sounds like the right thing to do!

bumble:Thanks for your undying confidence! hehehehe

As of 10 minutes ago we have !
Five in Line (49)
Backgammon (85)
Battleboats (52)
Hyper Backgammon (76)

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?

I do not know what all the hoopla was about! I will win all 4 tourneys anyway! hehehehehe

FORGET THE MILLION DOLLARS!

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!!!!!

Who approves tourneys and the Prizes? Is Fencer the only one or are the GM's?

bumble:

Bry: I have been in contact with Fencer concerning the details! I have submitted a plan where by the winnings would be guarenteed!!!!!
He may not approve it but I am hoping he does!!!!

4 million dollars! Thats big!

bumble:If one was to want to promote a tourney.........wouldn't you get more people to participate by posting them on General chat. Isn't that where all newbies go?

bumble:You are Don Kings Chinese cousin? DANG that finally explains why you look like that!

BerniceC: I should have been a special events promoter! The Don King of BK!
