Support Tournament Information

I don't think it was ever mentioned that 6 months membership (was only for pawns) in the actually tournament description (putting every single detail in there would make that very long), but it was mentioned in post - plus the announcment on brainking.info (link above)

But then again, if you are a paid member, you could just say "OK, Give me some time to figure out who to give my membership to that I won" - then wait for your own membership to expire, then say "Hey, remember that membership I won, apply that to my now pawn account. Thanks!"

... There are always loopholes! :-)

The "(applies only to pawns)" must have been erased then. :/ It was stated from the beginning of the section winners concept that only pawns were eligible, but others could donate theirs to their favourite pawn.

Anders I have said that very thing all over these boards before this tournament started.

21. Aprilo 2004, 05:30:44

Oh wait... I got a month, and 4 days....!

Here I am trying to get money moved into my PayPal account so I could renew in a hurry... Now I find out I got an extra month to wait until I "hurry and renew" :-)

Where does it say that the winner of a section cant keep the price?

Each section winner will recieve a 6 months brain knight membership. Enter to win.

21. Aprilo 2004, 05:28:42

My membership runs out in 4 days - both of you can donate to me - two 6 month knights = 6 month rook! :-)

Temo: Re: BK Fund Raiser Prize Tournament

Yes that's the way it goes. Overall winner will receive $50. If you win that it's yours to keep. Each section will have a winner or more in case of a tie.

Temo: BK Fund Raiser Prize Tournament

2 sections are now completed with AD & TexasToast each winning their sections. Congratulations to both of you, thanks for playing & good luck towards the $50.
You both will be making 2 pawns very happy for the next 6 months shortly.

Yep, it'll let unrated players join if BKR is set to 100 <= BKR <= 100 (just went and checked...)
:-)

15. Aprilo 2004, 23:37:56

Rogue Lion

Temo: re: is there a way

If you set both minimum and maximum BKR range to 100 and activate "include unrated players" that may work.
(if the system does not allow it then maybe a maximum of 200 would work).

15. Aprilo 2004, 23:24:47

so when do we start beta testing 2.0?

It takes seconds on BK 2.0.

I tend to go to the Games Rules pages to invite people. As you say, the profile page takes an age!

14. Aprilo 2004, 14:20:57

MadMonkey

I thought of something simular a while back to remove people from the friends list Aragon. I have about 250 on mine at present, collected over the time here, but alot at the bottom dont even play here anymore, tick boxes to remove them would be a great help LOL.

14. Aprilo 2004, 14:04:17

Fencer

Not yet.

14. Aprilo 2004, 13:47:41

I have set up a new Tourny (invite only, to weed out the er.....well.....weeds LOL) If i left ya out send me a message :o))

FENCER: is there an easier way to invite people? I find going to their profile takes an age!! Maybe a list of your friends with a tick box? Like when adding additional games?

14. Aprilo 2004, 10:38:17

Fencer

I plan to add tournaments where no vacation days can be used and no timeouted games will be restored.

14. Aprilo 2004, 10:31:09

rabbitoid

Bernice, it can. have a look at the very first tournament, the "official" one that fencer started in the jurassic era. the chess is still in round 2, which started last august. even taking into account the 3 month wipeout of last year, this is impressive.

14. Aprilo 2004, 06:21:46

Bernice

thanks BBW :)

just wondered what would happen is all LOL

it seemed as tho it could go on forever :(

14. Aprilo 2004, 04:24:12

Bernice - As of right now, Lamby really isn't holding anything up since not very many games in the tournament is complete yet.

Which means in early may (once the vacation time is over), as long as she does not come back and start playing, the games will time out at that time...... and I would almost bet that by that time, you will still have 1 or 2 OTHER games that are still not complete, so my guess is that she will not hold too much up in that tournament.

14. Aprilo 2004, 04:14:37

Bernice

<I dont know if anybody has seen where Lamby said that she was leaving the site????/

She has holidays set from tomorrow till the end of april>..

I have a 3 day tournament running which means the others in the tournament are kept waiting for (with weekends) many many days for these to time out....is there anyway of removing her from the tournament in question?

it i s backgammon Easter Egg Special...or something LOLOL

Why, all of the sudden, do the black pieces have this horrible green background? It's a real distraction.

I assume you mean his prize tournament? It has been set up to only allow pawns, so no one that isn't a pawn will be allowed to enter... :-)

Temo: Re:

You may think it is funny, but there are people who get their enjoyment on this site from purposly stalling. There are some who would love to get into a one day tournament for no other reason than to drag it out as long as possible. And with vacation days and weekends, one could drag it out for months.... There really are no options on this site for fast players, as all it takes is one or two people who enjoy ruining the fun for others...
Also there are a hundred or so members here that use WebTV, and are not compatible to play games on Yahoo or other sites which play live games.
