BIG BAD WOLF:

Thank you so much!

I was hoping that was the answer, but plan to get the number of games back under control.

Kathy

2nd rounds will always start for pawns even if you do not have enough game slots.

.... you just won't be able to start any new games until your back under your game limit

I'm playing in the Pente.net's Stone-Slingin' Showdown tournament. I'm going thru to the 2nd round, UNLESS I've made a huge mistake.

I finished round 1 early and started a bunch to games, unfortunately they are not single games, but rather 3 0r 5 game matches. These are going to take much longer to finish that I expected.

I have only 3 empty slots. Am I going to be blocked from playing in the second round because I don't have enough empty slots?

TIA,
Kathy

Cool, thanks...my lot are in already

Like this one?

Id still like to see a hypergammon team tourny :o)

JamesHird: James - thanks for that, but sorry, I have deleted the post as it contains personal attacks against users and should not be posted on the boards. Whilst you did not create the tournaments we shouldnt be advertising them. In fact, they probably need deleting from the database.

He has probably set them to an old date after it was filled up, to get it started as quickly as possible.

the last days for sign up were 14th and 15th January...why havent they started, or is there a hitch somewhere?

About a week left to sign up!

Starting Feb 2nd (Groundhog Day!), is the popular "All games for dummies" tournament!

• All games are here! (except the newest additions)
  
• All games for players rated UNDER 1500
  
• Unrated also can join (but don't join if you are an expert at the game)
  
• GREAT way to learn a new game
  
• GREAT way to play a game without being "killed" by high ranked experts
  
• NOTE #1: Since ratings do change before the tournament starts, I will remove anyone who is way over the 1500 limit
  
• NOTE #2: Pawns & Knights need 5 free game slots for each game
  
• S I G N - U P - H E R E !
  
• ... and as always, have fun!
  

Again, you may see 1 or 2 players who now have a higher rating then 1500 in the tournament. Before the tournament starts, I will remove any player who is WAY over the 1500 BKR limit that way it is fair to all the others who have signed up.

MASTERMIND: I think I've got it now. You're saying that people create multi-nics to enter prize tournies so UE is going to sort them out before the tournies begin?

And the winner of putting up the Prize tournaments are the nics joining them.

Universal Eyes: I didn't successfully parse your sentences, but it seems like you are complaining that more people will sign up for a tournament if it has a prize? Maybe I just need more punctuation, but that sounds naive.

Universal Eyes: Im not offended by your "greed" analogy...but if that is the way you feel stop talking about what you have done and DON'T offer any more prizes.
That would save people from having to decipher your bletherings, and/or feeling offended.

Hello i have created in my fellowships a tournament for every game that Brainking has to offer, with over 200 members and close to it in the others i would figure the numbers would by pilling up,not so, but when i put a prize tournament up it's jumped all over, on that word which i have put up several prize tournaments in the double digits it just shows there is greed involved of some of the fellowship members mainly backgammon players,therefore i will be researching for the next Backgammon prize tournament for the removal of greed.I'm sorry to anyone that is offended by this but it's my opinion and forsite of the benifits of making Brainking even more so the best gamesite on the internet.

Universal Eyes: and if you wait some time, my guess is about 10-15 years, you might even avoid strangling with laughter at the result. currently, translators are only good as a joke

You could buy the book and run it through a scanner to your programs then translate it to English with one simple push of the button.

to Fencer:
Sorry about that. Well, this book is not a top selling one, a translation would not pay at all.

Sumerian: It's a pity there is no English version of the book.

Well I have a 6 player team already...so when we gonna get a hyper team tourny then? ;o)

eagle eye: Once you are signed up, the system will not remove a user if they then change status and is out of the range of a tournament.

Now, it is up to the tournament creator if they want to remove that user before the tournament starts or not.

If tournament is only for one Membership level and player which is already subscribed change the level, will that play able to play in that tournament or will be removed before start?
example: http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6627&tri=24704&trnst=0

but it also depensd a lot on luck, so snigle games wouldnt be as nice ..

plus the more games the better! (its addicting ;))

But it can only be as fast as the slowest player.

I completely agree,a team tournament for Hypergammon would be great for the site.I think it should be a 3 wins match for each individual player team game, due to the fact that it's a pretty fast paced game to complete.

great game, lots of fun.

Its addicting!!!!!!

**edited for spelling**

HyperGammon is currently the 8th most popular game on the site - not bad for a week.

Oh, and I vote for a HyperGammon team tournament also! Lets say teams of about 6-7 players - 3-4 days per move

Fencer would it be possible for you to create a hyper team tourney please, so we could try out the new varient as a team :o)

Logistics Man: If it's a tournament then, being a pawn, you can't join another until that tournament is over. Being froglets it could take a while. I hope you're a young man. It's recommended that no-one over 30 starts a tournament involving froglets or anti-backgammon.

If you do want to join another tourney then resign your froglet games and ask Fencer (nicely) to remove you from that tourney.

Logistics Man: If you resign (or play quickly) and all your games in that tourney are over. You can PM Fencer and he will make it so you can enter a new tournament (at least he's done that in the past). Also, if you resign before the second move, the games may not count in your BRK (although I'm not 100% sure about that).

lol, sorry logistics, i found it mildy amusing. i can understand your shock though, read up on teh rules.. and try your best you never know you might find that you actually like the game. Resigning would be a little silly unless you realy dislike the game.

I feel with you... I hate that game... :)
I think I would have resigned them, but it's up to you.
