B-b-b-but if we all have our own fellowships, there won't be any teams.

the great thing is...if you UPGRADE to a brain rook...you can form your own fellowship,and start your own team! ;)

Yeah, that's rule number one. Then, you have to be a member of a fellowship, and a member of a team within that fellowship.

you must be paid member to join a team as they are integrated into fellowships.

Fencers undying reinforcement of his faith in our Stevie LOLOL

Please send me a message and let me know. Thank you.

I've always found 3 day limits to be good - which is why almost all of the "Fast Start" tournament (which I need to start some again), always have 3 day limit.

Plus as I can tell we may need 40 days to get together enough 10 player 6x6 teams, 40 days seems like a long time to wait. 20-30 days would probable be enough in my opinion.

Team Tournament names:

Crowded Gammon: "Don't stand so close to me!" Tournament

Gammon Race: "zoom zoom - wanna race gammon?"

Nackgammon: "Nammon Gammon"

Battleboats Plus: "Plus size Battle at sea."

All the above would have very good turn out - could easly make 6-8 player teams.

thats OK Redsales.. we've got our tank battle team!!! thanks anyway!

*editing to add Redsales IS on our team!

thanks :)

But at least its 3 day moves LOL

Because I was looking forward to a 6x6 tournie which had the likely hood of being a quick one LOL
Then the bombshell hits, not a lot of chance of getting that many players to join so may aswell give up on the idea of being in it with a team

BINGO! Stevie is the first one. Why did I KNOW that? :-D

come on Fencer.......10 players for the 6x6 tourny???? thats getting silly now

LMAO

2 days is fine, i was just bartering.

i like 2 days too, grenv, for the same reason! Internet can be spooty at times here in Korea. I've had a tech over at my crib thrice in 2 months.

Temo, Antje: sorry, harley and bobes got to me first. I *could* leave the tank battle team, but I onlly would if the Sunshine Club tank battle team had enough members and the other team didn't. I'm not good at tank anyway, i'd just be a body!

Problem with one day, even for us faster players, is time outs. I had a freak day last week and didnt access the web for over a day, and got timed out of 5 games in a 1 day tournament.

I mean, you can play 25 moves pergame per day, but if you miss one day, you are out.

How about 2 days then?

It would be nice to have some sort of overall game limit, or sometging of the like.....hopefully someday :)

I vote for 1 day. :)

I alreadyy mentioned 3 days would be better, so I agree

The first team tournament went off at 3 days per move. The new ones are all at 5 days per move. Why the change? It seemed like the participation in the first one was high. I havent heard anyone talking about a massive amount of time outs from any games. # days seems like a good middle of the road time limit that should work for everyone. Or maybe 5 days and deactivate the weekends? As it is, a 5 day tournament game can last 420 days for a 30 move game, plus vacation time, and holidays.

I think that team tournaments should be under 1 year in length, for the whole tournament, not 1.15 years+ just for one game. Our memberships are only good for a year, we should be able to play a team tournament, and have it finish within a year.

I vote for 3 days team tournaments, that is plenty of time....

Redsales, you can join our team Brains of space....we need a member for tank battles for sure.And maybe you should become a "Loop team" member later...

redsales-- we can use you over at the Sunshine Club :)

anyone fancy joining my team so i can join the amazons team tourny ,i just need one player . jasonsgamesroom

Hi, I'm looking to get on some teams for the team tourneys. Anyone need a player?

LOL...you go Kevin!....aren't you and KevJon neck and neck??? Can't wait to see who will win. :ř)

We're moving, we're moving... :-)

The end is in sight for the end of the first part...down to 2 players and their last moves...Come on Kevin and KevJon...you can do it....gooooooo team!!! Rah-Rah sis boom bah....
Is there going to be another prize like in the first heap when the winners of their section got a knight membership??

Plus this tournament is a GREAT way to practice for the 2 new team tournament that will start in about a month.

Congratulations to Cheetah for winning Pawn's Gothic Chess Open--Fihankra CC (Gothic Chess), which I also participated in.

If you like chess (or any of the variations), then join the All Chess Tournament.

anyone wanting to sign up for some tournaments, there are a few minis and a few regular tournaments created in The Sunshine Club!

WooHoo! Thanks for putting us up, Fencer.

Great! All teams of First Team Tournament have flags. Nice view :-)

BBW: The points are more important. Only when two teams have the same points, the score matters. It's an equivalent to S-B in normal tournaments.

Jousting is starting again...go sign up!

For team tournaments, I'm guessing it goes by points for who will win a section.

My question: If there is a tie with the points, is it a "tie", or does the score (win/lose) come into play?

OR am I backwards where the Score is what matters, and the "points" is the tie breaker.

yup, i know that. i don't regret spending Visa's money either, lol.

No, you haven't been conned rebelyell, that's still the rule. Knights can join ONE team tournament at a time.
Knights can only join one tournament of a game type at a time.
But knights can play in a team tournament (backgammon for example) and also play in a normal backgammon tournament at the same time so it is possible to play in two tournaments of the same type that way.

That's still valid.

No its not changed... You can obviuosly be captains of as many teams... but to play in them is different... its one of each game for normal tournaments! and one of the team tournaments.

I am sure if I am wrong I will be told... lol

but knights can only join one team tournament, that is why i upgraded. or has that changed?

I'm captain of two teams, Harley, and I'm a knight

It works! Knights can be captains!

Good question. I don't remember :-) Try it.
