So what do you do if the tourney doesn't start because of someone not qualifying? Can you just get another player, or do you have to start over with a new tournament?
If you click to close a tournament, it has to have at least the minimum number of people signed up or the tournament will be deleted. (So if the minimum is set to 4, at least 4 need to be signed up)
What makes it tricky is if a pawn or Knight sign up and they don't have enough room, then they are "kicked" out of the tournament which might send the total number back below the minimum number - meaning the tournament will not start.
I read the following:
Please don't forget that you cannot close the tournament for sign-ups before the date and time specified at the Last term to sign up field passes. After this action is performed, all tournaments with less than defined minimum number of players will be deleted.
Does this mean if a tournament has a minimum of 4 people, only 3 sign up, then the tournament is deleted? The statement "After this action is performed, all tournaments with less than defined minimum number of players will be
deleted." leads me to believe all tournaments with a minimum amount of players will be deleted? A more clear explanation of the statements would helpl

Apple03: Could you not get on because of the site acess problems ? If so just send Fencer a message with the game number and explain, he will normally reinstate it :-)
grant: Considering it is 2 games against each player, and you will probably be in an 8-person section (based on the # of sign-ups) you could have as many as 14 games in that tournament.
ive just joined the backgammon open, can u tell me is it divided into small groups when it starts for a rounds type thing, i just want to know how many games to expect, thanks in advance for replys.
Still need some players for:
Five in line
Spider line 4
Reversi 8x8
Halma 8x8
for tournament starting Friday, help if you can spare a little place or 2 please lol
Icon, it also depends if you want to play for fun or not! There are a lot of serious players here, I play more for fun, but some of my teams have very serious players... I guess fellowship captains will soon get to know which are the 'serious' ones, and play more often against those, if thats their choice.
I'm assuming the teams will have to agree on how many players, and only that many players will play. Although, it would be possible with uneven players. And why do the ratings have to be equal? It will never happen exactly, and even if it does the ratings are never a completely accurate representation of a player's ability until they play infinite games :-)
i have some space left in crowded backgammon & tablut if anyone can help out , also just set up battle boats if anyones interested ;~))
jasons games room
3 tournaments to sign up for....Watson's 15-day Summer Five in Line Games...Watson's 15-day Summer Halma Games...and Watson's 15-day Summer Pente Games...the closing date is June 23...it is posted on the main tournament page near the bottom...the games are open to all players
Sometimes (not often) the tournament creator will post a message here or on another board announcing the tournament. If they do not do that, the best way it to just periodically check the "Tournaments" page found on the left of this page. Many tournaments have all games included, and many others are a single game, or a few games. You might have to check through them to find the one(s) you want.
However, being a brain pawn (non-paying member) you are limited to one tournament entry at a time, and cannot join another tournament until either your section completes and you do not move on to the next round, or the tournament finishes :-)
Also there are 2 butons to start a tourney, you press one to close for sign up, then you have to go back and press another almost identical one to actually start the tourney.
Its very easy to forget to do this!! I've done it once, but I always remember now because I got such a good tongue lashing for forgetting!! LOL!!
And I am in Australia which is 9-10 hours ahead of Europe and probably 15-18 ahead of the States. The Tablut tournament I will start soon had a last entry date of 3 June, so I will wait until the end of the 4th (just past the end of the 3rd in the good ol' USofA) before I start it ... which will obviously be well into the 4th for some.
The person who creates a tournament actually has to start the tournament.
So it depends on when the creator is on-line to start it. I usually try to start all mine within 24 hours of the "last term to sign up".... but others... ???? :-)

Blackadder Mr K: What do you think why they have BrainKnight and BrainRook Membership for!!! So, you can play more tournament. Being brainpawn you can't have everything you want your way.
Have a nice day! :-)
O čem je toďten plk: Tournaments,,,,How to speed them up !
Hi !
The tournament I am in goes like a snail,,how can we speed it up in the future ?
It`s not fun to wait so long before you can join another tournament. Why not make some kind of special rule when it comes to this kind of game ?
This is something for us to think about in the future !!!!
You see that there are no tournaments of a particular type and so decide to make then suddenly off they go ... well here is the one that started the trend ... this is your last day so sign up now at:
Tablut - Black + White #1 (Tablut)
Any pawns here want to win a 6 months rook membership???Join the tablut PRIZE tournament!!
Starts in one month... You need 7 free slots to join. If you sign up and find you do not have the available slots when the tournament starts you will not be allowed to participate.
Good luck to all :o)
I have have checked all the places I could think to find informaiton on how to define a tournament. Help, FAQ, Touraments, My Tournaments does not show a link. Doesn't seem that only paid memebers are allowed to do so.
Thanks, I am sure the link to define a tournament is in a very logical spot??
