looking for players   November Tournaments

Resher: No, I am waiting for the creator - joshitm - to make one.

Aganju: Wahey - what an achievement! Do you have a summary of the results?

TC: Thank you all. Will enter and if I kicked then so be it.

Adventure XI is finally finished! Started in early Dec2012, it took nearly 23 months.

TC: As I mentioned the previous time he started this tourney, the primary problem I see (aside from the fact that it is obnoxious to check the 10% for each game) is that most of the people in the top 10% are not playing anymore or not since a long time. That way, only 1% really are effectively eligible.

SL-Mark: Firstly thanks to repliers Resher & Happyjuggler0 for for their friendly and faster explains than me!

Secondly, you can calll the page Tepedeki %10 - Hızlı Tavlacılar 2014 11-12 and simply check for all checkboxes as you wish!

Hope to see you in the tournament games, thank you!

SL-Mark: If you're in the top 10% by BKR for any of the listed games, then you can play in any of the tournaments. So you could be top in Grasshopper, but bottom 1% in BG and still enter the BG tourney.

They're great tourneys. I used to love playing them when I was a more active Rook.

SL-Mark: I am also puzzled by that. Maybe I am wrong?

He does have a time control that punishes slow players though. It is a red dot time control of 3 days with a bonus of 3 hours per move made, with a limit of 10 days. Woe to anyone who lets his time left roll down to a low number, then moves, then logs out for the night!

happyjuggler0: Thanks. If BKR only, then I don't understand why he equates players who have a high BKR with speed. This is just not the case and therefore we should be afraid of endless games!

SL-Mark: It's not speed, it is BKR. I don't know if he goes by active players or inactive players to determine the top 10% cutoff.

I personally think he should just have a rating cutoff where you can't even sign up if your BKR is too low. That way no one gets booted from the tournament just before it begins.
