furbster: OK thanks, got it .

moistfinger: Yes simple they had 2300 when they joined have since lost a few games and hence their ratings have dropped!

Hi,
I joined the Backgammon 2300 plus! tournament because the Player rating requirement was 2300 <= BKR <= 4000 . This isn't the case as two of my opponents have a BKR of only 2200 . How did this happen and why?

JerNYC: I didnt like the time limit. Too long.

JerNYC: We got up to 4 players but missed it by one. Is it just me or does it seem like nobody's signing up for tourneys anymore? I see certain games that used to fill up before you could blink sitting open now with either 1 player or no players.

Looking for players please   Spring is just around the corner

Looking for Spring!!! looking for players all games available

coan.net: Ok, thanks. 

Undertaker.: Well at the time it seemed like we were getting a lot of running tournaments, so this batch I put the 14 days in between both - both another has also asked me about it - and myself, Site Team Tournaments are the only one's I play also, so I do enjoy them - so when I start to make the next batch, I'll go back to my normal 7-10 days between tournaments

coan.net: Thanks coan. 

I've added a few more site team tournaments, including a 21 point Hyper Backgammon one - Hyper Backgammon is a quick game, so playing to 21 points shouldn't take *super* long time to complete.

I try to shake it up with different games, so if you think I'm missing a game, let me know and I may give it a try.

Aganju: : The manual organizing a tournament like this one (all backgammon games, for grouped players limited with some restrictions) has many handicapes.

Sorry but here in BrainKing.com, we have not enough possibilities for our needs when need to create a tournament!

Thanks in advance for all type hints, specially for preferable and easy operable additions!

The Col:

I loved Putin's half-heated clapping for the USA pairs figure skaters after they set a new scoring record

Aganju: Then there's always the option of signing up and letting TC decide.

rod03801: First, only active players? Or inactive too? Only established BKRs? or provisional too? That leaves four combinations to pick from.
Second, for me this page very often shows (incorrectly, of course) "Your current position is 1 of 1", which result in me having to do many clicks to even find my position.

Aganju: At the top of each list, it says how many people are listed. Simply take the last digit off that #, and if you above that #, you are eligible.

Aganju: Good suggestion.

TC: I checked that last time and I think I am outside those 10% in all games. I think you will run into the issue that a significant number of those 10% are not playing anymore just sitting there. But otherwise I like the idea.
Here a hint how you can make it easier for potential participants: Obviously, because of your 10%-cutoff-point, the minimum rating needed is different for each game. You could list that minimum rating, so anyone can see right away if he falls into it. I found it rather tiresome to scroll through the full list to find out how many people are in total in the list, divide it by ten, and then find the rating of that position to see if I make it. If you do that once, you save everybody that work, and maybe get more players? Not me though...
