BrainKing - Forum di discussione (Tournaments)

You have a good point about the knights. A lot of the players in the running tourneys are knights.
I guess it isn't the last minute, but I like to have things done in plenty of time! And I think that if people are willing to play, why wait until the last second to sign up?! But people do..

I have 6 towards my team (SCRL) keep asking for more.
I do feel anything above 5 or 6 team members is a bit much mind you, especially when tournies also have 2 games even when only 1 needed (backgammon ones).

I feel all tournies really only need 4 team members, and also means 1 person doesnt need to get bogged down with games by joining lots of tournies just so a team can join

19. Settembre 2004, 00:00:21

... plus these tournaments were created with 15 days to sign up (which is plenty) - but the previous had about 30 days or so (which is too many) - so it is also looking like it's comming down to the last minute which it really isn't (Yet)

18. Settembre 2004, 23:59:09

Well you also have to consider that by now, all knights can not play (probable already in other tournaments), plus there are the rooks who are probable already playing at their own "game limit" and don't really want to join more tournaments, etc....

18. Settembre 2004, 23:58:59

BBW, thats why its best to sign early. Most of the HOME teams have been signed up with at least a week to spare. But these latest ones, theres only 11 days left and not many coming forward to play.

18. Settembre 2004, 23:57:11

Well something is, and I don't think its the choice of games. Even reversi 8x8, usually a popular game - I'm finding it difficult to get players. And I don't think I'm the only one because only 3 teams have signed for that too.

18. Settembre 2004, 23:55:24

Well I ended up almost not being in a couple of team tournaments because I joined, then with a couple days to go there would still be 1 or 2 spots open - and I really want to play in all the team tournament so I worry.

18. Settembre 2004, 23:54:06

actually thats a sensible comment, because I feel it is happening

18. Settembre 2004, 23:51:53

BBW, if everyone thought that way, there would never be any teams! :oD

18. Settembre 2004, 23:50:34

you had lots of chance to join mine ;o) but didnt LOL

18. Settembre 2004, 23:49:47

I'm sure there will be at least 4 teams by the time it starts.

For myself, that is the only one I haven't entered yet basicly because none of the fellowships have more then 1 player in that team - and if I join a team, I want to make sure that we will be able to join. :-)

Fencer what will happen if you dont get 4 teams?
will you make an exception this time and just let it go ahead with 2 or 3, or will you just leave it to be deleted automatically?
Unfortunately there are not many paid members who play it.
I have a team signed up, i guess HOME will too due to you and Harley play it, but I just hope 2 more fellowships will get a team together even if all unrated :o) would be a fun way for them to learn it :o)

Dark Chess--------30
Extinction Chess---6
Gothic Chess------12

The Dark Chess tournament is going to be tough to win. There's 5 of us with 2000 or higher ratings. Should be a good tournament. The Gothic Chess tournament should have a few good match ups too. I'm still learning the game, but have had some success of late.

I'll post once more near the beginning of the tournaments. I think next quarter I'll stagger the start of them. Though I'm the only one entered in all three of the tournaments, it makes for a lot of games to jump on the screen all at once.

Dark Chess has a prize offered.
Hope to see you all there. Last time I looked the Extinction Chess had six, so'd it be nice to get a few more. After posting this note, I'll check the status of enteries and report back here.

Argomento: The backgammon race team tourny

Can this not be changed to 1 game each pair?
two games isnt necesary in backgammon due to the die deciding who goes firts.
And 8 teams per section means 16 games each, this is reducing the amount of players who can join cos of limits on knights who are paying members/ contributors. And rooks who already have many games due to large team members numbers needed on the other tournies

Congrats to Arpa for winning my 3 pack Backgammon tournament... Again, out of my bracket, so thats good :) it was a 2 day tournament and still it takes 2 months to finish...

I have just started a new Backgammon championship for people with a winning overall game record. 3 days per move for fast players, first 20 people to sign up, and it will be started.

Go to the Team Tournament link. Find the Reversi 6x6 tournament, and when you get there, it should give you the opportunity to sign your team up for the tournament.

12. Settembre 2004, 01:05:51

To sign up for the Team Tournament, Do that HERE

It starts in about 3 days.

I'm team Captain for Zoo.s Reversi 6X6 and have been told to put our team up against another team. How do I do this?

11. Settembre 2004, 23:23:56

That did it Harley (kinda weird that there is no link on the tournament page?)....Thanks! :)

11. Settembre 2004, 23:08:52

Click on 'back to list of game types' then look next to the tournament name. There should be a clickable link saying (edit).

11. Settembre 2004, 22:17:20

How do you edit a finished tournament tha you created to add the name of the winner? Its probably something simple I have overlooked, but I cant seem to find out how to do this. Thanks :)

11. Settembre 2004, 22:12:58

Since the first team tournament is in the second round, and my team is not in it anymore, shouldnt I now be able to leave the team I am on? Or do we have to wait until the whole tournament is finished? Is this a bug? Thanks :)

The train has left the station and there is little appetite anymore for racket busting crusaders in search of a cause. If private messages to Fencer won't do the job then you have to assume it's a dry hole.

I just talked to people in PM and I see what your talking about now AD, but we got to remember we are playing games and if you can not win the tournament LIKE ME then we all try again and next time we might win.... I thought this was all just for fun, I have never won anything and I'm just happy to see my name at the top of the ratings at two different games :o)

Argomento: speculation = A hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence)

I'd say that when someone tells you in a private fellowship that they ARE the QWERTY account, and then they send you a PM from the QWERTY, that is hardly speculation but is all the proof one needs. Unless of course you're not interested in getting at the truth.

11. Settembre 2004, 08:30:58

I told you it's not a speculation. LJ told me and showed me he was using the QWERTY account. It's not my fault Fencer that you're too stubborn to believe the truth. Take it as friendly help
