Subject: Finding how many free slots I need for tournaments

I'm near the 50-game limit of my Brain Knight membership, and I realize that I'm still in several tournaments where I've finished all my games and am waiting for the next round to begin. As far as I can see, there's no way to tell at a glance how many slots I need to keep open to be sure there's no problem when the new rounds start. I need to click on every running tournament of mine, see which ones I'm advancing in and tally up the slots I'll need. It's not too convenient since I'm in 17 running tournaments.

It would be nice if there were a way to see from the tournament list in my profile which tournaments are waiting to start a new round and how many slots they need. Maybe the tournament list could have an extra column showing whether I'm advancing, eliminated, or if it's still undetermined, and another column showing how many slots the tournament needs.

Ceiter: If you're worried about not entering the nexxt stage of the tournament you don't need to be. whenever BrainKing automatically creates new games for you, you can go over the 50 games limit. You just won't be able to create any new games from that point on until you get below that limit again.

pauloaguia: Oh! I had no idea! Thanks for the info.

I guess that only counts for new rounds, not new tournaments, right? Because I see the "please keep at least X free slots" message when I sign up for a new tournament.

Ceiter: Yes - for 2nd rounds of tournaments (and 3rd, 4th, etc...) For new tournaments, it will kick you out if you don't have enough free spaces.

So with 20/50 game limit (pawn/knight), you can go over the limit when 2nd rounds of tournaments start - and can be over the 20/50 game limit.
