Correct - 12 slots for 7 players - 14 slots for 8 players

Oh, but how can it be 10 slots in all cases? I have 7 people signed - maximum section number is 8, so it would only create one section with all 7 players.

Each player would play 2 games with each other person, making 12 slots needed?

15. Julio 2004, 11:48:48

Thanks :o)

15. Julio 2004, 11:45:23

And you need at least the number of player which is defined as "minimum players" for the tournament.

15. Julio 2004, 11:44:34

10 is all cases.

15. Julio 2004, 11:29:09

Temo: Quick question....

In a tourney of switched colours, 8 players per section, how many slots would a person need to participate?

And what if I changed it to a maximum of 4 players per section?

And last one - if I change it to 4 players per section, does that mean I need at least 8 players?

Can't you just wait for Friday? It would be hard to explain without showing real examples.

How will it work anyway?
Who does play who?
How many games per player?

But then each person will only get 2 games.

Temo: Re: First team tournament

ow about 6 sections with 3 teams each.... make for a lot more in the final round, and more fun and games for most?

14. Julio 2004, 17:56:52

Temo: First team tournament

Wow - 18 teams are now set up - so 3 sections with 6 teams each!

Then the top team from each section will go and face each other. This is going to be cool - even if say I do really bad and lose all my games, if my teammates do really good, we can still go and win a section!

Temo: First team tournament

I have postponed the tournament deadline to Friday, 16th July 2004. The reason is that I had no time to perform all required tests and without tests it would be too risky to start it.

Heh, I've just signed up as well :-) So if I am the winner [which is VERY unlikely], the second one can get the prize.

Temo: Backgammon Prize Tourney

Llawer o Baben! T-SHIRT Tournament

The prize is a brainking.com T-shirt to the winner of the size and colour of his/her choice (as available).
I've fluttered my eyelashes at Fencer and he's going to flutter his eyelashes at Mrs Fencer to handpaint the words 'Tournament Winner' or 'Tourney Winner' as an addition to the current wording.

If the tourney is won by a pawn then a prize of a 6 month brain rook membership will be offered as an alternative.

I've changed my maharajah tournament so it now offers a 6 month knight membership for the winner! I need ONE more person to sign up and I'll start it!

if you have won a round of the tournament then you can either choose a pawn yourself and tell either linda or fencer.. or if you don't know of anyone, then ask a few people if they do :) there is always someone who knows a pawn who would like a membership :)

Teams in Team Tournaments are sorted by average BKR now.

I confirm that I've just received money for these prizes. When winners are known, their memberships will be activated.

10. Julio 2004, 14:51:05

bwildman: How should it filter them? Remove players with BKR out of range in time of tournament start?

Temo: Fencer

if the tourny has a rating limit,will the new system filter players when it automaticly starts the tourny?

Temo: Backgammon Team Tournament

According to ratings, the top 3 teams (Average rating of all 5 players) are:

1) Bry's Backgammon & 5-in-line Team (2164 Avg)
2) The Gammon Cube (2139 Avg)
3) Monkeys Swinging Madhouse (2122 Avg)

Are you trying to tell us something? :-)

9. Julio 2004, 17:14:50

Well, it should not happen anymore when our overloaded hardware is upgraded.
Hint Hint Hint :-)

9. Julio 2004, 17:06:39

That would be nice Fencer - but then again, the problem I see with that is that probable once a month you will get the question "Hey, I had a tournament in the list which is now gone, and not started yet!" - which of course would be the case until the tournament auto-start is ran.

9. Julio 2004, 16:30:24

I will probably make the "negative time" tournaments hidden.

9. Julio 2004, 16:17:32

I have found that the tournaments auto-starter runs about every 1-2 hours, which will start any tournament which is past it's start time.

BUT - what you probable notice is my "Fast Start" tournament, which when they have enough people to start, what I do is just change the start date of the tournament ahead 1 day so they start faster - so they will start the next time the "Auto-Start" runs, and not have to sit there full waiting for the time to run out.

Sometimes I see in the tournementarea some tournements with a (red) minus time. I thought the tournements are starting now automatically if the deadline is reached. How is this possible?

8. Julio 2004, 19:26:01

I can be done later.

when browsing the tournament area, is there a way to desern between tournaments which are already full, or ones we have already signed up for etc.?

Or should this be a feature request?
