This is to announce the start of 

Happy Haunts Backgammon

furbster: The second round should go much faster since half the people moving on have already moved on (from this site). Let's hope those that are holding up the pack don't move one ;)

Only 7 hours left to sign up for this tournament.

A Very Quick Backgammon Tourney

rod03801:
He hasn't been here since July 2nd so prize probably will not be provided. So it would never start anyway?

i've asked for fencer to take the brains out of my own, clear it up a little bit

Well, Mozku seems to be "brains".. so I assume 1st place is 50 brains.. 2nd place is 30 brains, and 3rd place is 20 brains.

Obviously, they haven't been "provided" though. It does seem like there should be an "auto delete" after a prize tournament has been created, and no prize provided.

furbster: Lol. Agreed.
Be careful though, probably half the players on the list have retired by now, so once it is started, it will probably run another 10000 days.

what the prize is for this tourney?

50 muj

as i am fed up of seeing it in the list!

Aganju: TRICK OR TREAT (RANDOM ALL GAMES)

hey you stole my name... I already have 'Trick or Treat' tournaments open. First one is for Brains.

Backgammon (to 9 points)

Random Treats (to 3 points)

tournament of interesting strategy games.

Congratulations to Taffazzi for winning the tournament 2200+

With only 59 games to go Pedro Martinez has took the lead with 11 points and 8 games to go for him , Zak is second with 10 points but only 3 games to go, Gabriel Almeida is following with 7.5 points (10 games to go ), Pedestrian 7 pts ( 6 games to go ) ,Rockada 6.5 ( 9 games to go ),Karol G and Monty Burns have 6 pts (14 and 10 games to go ) ,Ronin and Misha1 5 pts (4 games to go and 17 games to go for Misha1 actually best player with 5 wins out of 5 games !! ) , finally Janek ,Diogenysos and Tenuki with 3 pts ( 9 games,12 games and 16 games to go ).
Ronin is the 1st player that cannot win anymore the black rook !
Good luck to the rest !    BLACK ROOK FINAL TOURNEY

Beach's tourneys part 2   just made a new tourney if anyone is interested

Varazslo: thanks so much!

Tournament: games with dice 5 days standard vacation (Crowded Backgammon)

Game type: Crowded Backgammon
Winner of the tournament: slon4e

coan.net: It was just a bit odd. Makes for a mess of games at once but then the tournament ends sooner.

Marshmud: I did not even notice that - Usually I just leave it on the default and don't even touch that setting (default shows 8) - Possible a new bug which is resetting that to 20 instead of 8 when the tournament is created.

Sometime after May (last time a site team tournament had more then 8 teams) was correctly split apart - but now looking back, see July starting tournaments have the larger groups.

Is there a reason that the last 4 team tournaments as well as the new team games just listed are single bracket games? maximum group of 20.

Chess3 who dares? battle to come

FrancescoLR:Hey all little update and an announcement . I would like to say that Karol G has made me noted that i made mistake on the set up of the tourney giving same position in all games :bad move especially for frog finder games( 4 games that involve Zak- Tenuki and Karol G )  . I just asked Fencer if he can "force" the draws in those games wich seems to me correct.Hope this is what will happen :)
On meantime Zak is leading with 8 points after 14 games ,Pedro Martinez is second  with 6 points on 8 games , ,Pedestrian 5 points on 12 games . Best player for now are Misha1 with 2 wins in 2 games played so 2 points and  Karol G who has record of 3 wins and 2 draws for total of 4 points on 5 games !  90 games still to go to see who will be the new black rook

Yeahh thank you very much Fencer
