smelly socks: Thanks for your help. At least now I know it may be a site problem. I'll make note of the game number.

Kata Liana: Make a note of the game number in case it does time out. Fencer can restore it when he's fixed the problem.

Kata Liana: It's happening to me too. I think it's a general problem tonight.

One of my tournament games, I am having a problem with. Who do I contact? Everytime I submit my move, it takes my move, but it shows back up as a game it is my turn to move in and my move was not recorded. I have made this move over and over again, and keep getting it back. A quick answer would be helpful, as I only have 20 hours left to make my move and nothing is working. Thanks to whoever can help me with this or point me in the right direction of who to ask for help.

Alexis has agreed to meet with the winner, based on the contract we have with her for promotional events and appearances for 2005/2006. I don't think some of you take this seriously, but the prize is there for the taking, and if more people don't sign up, I am going to join!

Grim Reaper: Tell Alexis she should fix this tournament so I win and she can come to Hawaii! ;-)

Since some players condone sending duplicate pawn IDs into tournaments to effect the outcome, this will cure that and produce a valid checkers champion of BrainKing.

Here is a tournament with a one-year Brain Rook membership as the prize. The game is Xiang Qi (Chinese chess). Everyone is welcome to play.

Grim Reaper: Intresting, but I have a "taller than me" woman complex....

There is one more player wanted for this tournament which starts in a few hours... Shogi I

Actually, the game would be over in 6 hours. (Each person has 3 hours for their moves) Though, it doesn't check for time outs constantly, so there are actually a few more minutes allowed at the end...

A question on this type of setting (Time: 3 hours, Bonus: none, Limit: 3 hours, no days off)
I presume the game has to be completed in 3 hours , if say we had moved in the game but the game wasnt finished would the loser be the one that still has the turn on thier main page ? or is there more to it .

An interesting prize to the winner.

fungame: I don't think anyone has been implying that.

Fencer: I believe they mean if in no games in the match more than 2 moves per side were made, then it should be without BKR loss.

BIG BAD WOLF: Sure, it doesn't apply to matches. Someone could resign the last match game with no moves performed (just in this last game) and avoid a BKR loss.

Pedro Martínez: Well that is pointless! If I wanted to resign from games in the first section, I just would not sign up for the tournament in the first place!

BIG BAD WOLF: It doesn't apply in the finals. I don't know if it's a bug or not but that's the way it is. Try resigning some tournament game that is in the first-section stage.

Fencer: Um..... I think I will have to disagree with Fencer on this one!

I just resigned 3 games with no moves made (3 win match), and I lost BKR points and the other person gained BKR points!

= = = = = = =

Londo is the winner.

Londo: old BKR = 2487, new BKR = 2488 (+1)
BIG BAD WOLF: old BKR = 2061, new BKR = 2059 (-2)

Game type: Froglet
Tournament: Frogazons Plus Fellowship - Froglet II

= = = = = = = = =

.... not that I'm worried about 2 BKR points, but you do still lose BKR points if it's a tournament game! (no matter what Fencer says!)

bumble: I'll do it!

Backoff: She cannae take no more captain.

Oh man, I'm going to have to moderate myself for being off topic.

bumble: how charged is the flux capacitor???

Geez peeps you say that as though there have always been perfect tourneys.. haha..

baddessi: That is correct!!!

baddessi: But it could affect the space-time continuum.

Then Binabik is right- she will lose the games in the tourney, but her BKR won't be affected?

Jason: No, Pedro is right.

Binabik: If its a tournament game im certian you will also lose bkr no matter how many moves have been made .

Pedro Martínez: Thank you Pedro and Baddessi! I did look at the FAQ list and it wasn't there. So the worst that can happen is that you won't win the tourney. Thanks again!

Pedro Martínez: thanks Pedro

Pawns cannot delete their games. Tournament games cannot be deleted by anyone. If you resign a game where under 2 moves by each of the sides have been made, it still counts as a loss but you don't lose any BKR points.

Binabik: I believe that if you resign a game, it counts as a loss. You can delete a regular game before a certain number of moves are made, but I don't know if that applies in a tournament. I'll see if I can find out

What happens if you resign a tournament game when one or no moves have been made? Does that count as a loss for you in that tourney?

fungame: I still don't think I understand what you are trying to say.

So for example, a game where each player will have a total of 2 days to make his moves (weather he makes them in 1 hour, or starts to make them after a day. = = = Fisher's Clock: 2/0/2

So for example, a game where each player should never take more then 5 hours after the last player played to make a move = = = Fisher's Clock: .5/.5/.5 (or course this could end up taking longer then 2 days)

BIG BAD WOLF: yes, that's true but what if I want to limit time for one move, then my new option would fulfill this, you cannot do it with what you wrote, that way the opponent has for example 2 days for whole game, but what I wrote can result in 2 days for whole game but 5 hours for each move max. How can you achieve this now?
edit: perhaps not really 5 hours per move, but at least 5 hours added per move

fungame: Just set the bonus in a fischer's clock game to 0 - then the time will be for the complete game for one party (since no bonus time will be added for each move.)

BTW, for some time I was not sure about Fischer clock implementation, which of 2 possibilities it covers. Now I know, but anyway I think the other option I had in mind would have some sense too, may be it can be added. It differs by this: Limit doesnt mean the maximum time left in a game, but maximum time total in the game (the length of the game for one party)

mrloupcity: Looking at your games, I'm guessing you are talking about the "1.st Liberals & Talent Tournament - Crowded Backgammon" - http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=49714#1

If that is the case, then the time is using the new Fischer's clock time control, which in all Fischer clock games - holidays/weekends/vacations are not used. (That has been listed in the Time Help Section since the Fischer's clock was introduced.)

But because all of those games did not have days off, Fencer at first did not have the red dot next to those tournaments - since all would have no time off it did not make a difference. But I believe he added them recently so it would be easier to see by everyone since not everyone will go read the help about the new time control.

So you are right that it probable did not say "no time off" when you signed up - but all games using Fisher's clock has not vacation or weekend days.
