In your profile, you can show "all" tournaments that you have entered (by clicking more, you will see them all)

Then I just simple copy the list of all the tournaments and paste it into an Excel spreadsheet which then I can quickly look how many rows/tournaments I have entered.

Looking at yours ughaibu, I see you have entered 148 tournaments! :-)

sigh

if it's not one pot, it's another....always stirring

I have won 2 tournaments out of 100 tries because my opponents timed out. LOL

Quote from IMCK below: "...and since BBW signs up when he creates them, there are only 4 other slots open..."

That to me sound like you thought I sign up for most of my own tournanemnts - which is wrong, like I said, about 8%.

About 33% of my tournament wins are from my own fast start tournaments. That is a fact, and I'm happy to tell people that. Again, I was not brafing about myself, still don't know how you see that. I have no intention to say anything when I get to 100 tournament wins, or 2000 games won, or any of those milestones.

I mean I know you are unsecure with yourself and it makes you feel beter by trying to put other peoples acheivements down, but it only makes yourself look bad. Please don't take this the wrong way, but have you even seen profesional help? I can help set something up if you want - of course you can contact me in private to help you save a little face with your fellow gamers.

I never did say anything about you starting in all your fast start tournaments. I only wanted to point out that about half of your tournament win total is from tournaments where you only had to win 2 or 3 total games to win the tournament, and how you were heavily favored in many as well. I mean how impressive is it to win 2 out of 3 games against people rated under 1000?

I think it was nice of you to point out Mr loupcitys' milestone. It is a cool acheivement, that he didnt have to announce himself... maybe you could take a lesson from him?

Um, I'm not sure what you were reading but apparently it's not this board.

My post was to congratulate someone who hit a milestone - 100 wins. I posted that I was right behind them, but by no means was it meant to brag on myself and my win total - which is less then 1/2 the #1 tournament winner. PLUS maybe you did not know, this is not a hidden stat or anything - you can see who has what tournament wins HERE

Then you start to say how I enter all my fast start tournament, which I corrected you to say it was only about 8% of them that I enter. You then try to say how I only play lower ranked players, but again corrected you to let you know that I almost always enter my own fast start tournament as the first person signed up.

Then you keep on debating how some of the tournaments I have won was against lower ranked players. While no one is debating this fact with you, you keep debating it. Are you upset I got tired of all your political lies and won't debate politics with you anymore? So you just have to find something else?

Truce? I will defend myself anytimg I feel I need to. If you want a truce, then shut up and quit talking about me. very simple, but i'm sure you can't do that.

Are you suggesting a limit on my freedom of speach BBW? Your mouth started it. You found it necessary to 'let it slip out' how many tournaments you have won. I felt it necessary to point out that all you had to do was win 2 out of 3 total games in some whole tournaments to get a win.... just to help put your staggering total in perspective for many who might be overly impressed.

Anywho, if you dont think I have a right to post my opinion on these boards, then put me on hide :)

Truce again?

Still debating yourself.

As you may not know, the #1 of the fast tournament of new games were intruduced when players had no ratings - so at the time that tournament started, I was playing against all equal players!

What is funny is that next month, IMCK will complain about people who will not play lower ranking players since the higher player has more to lose against lower ranked players. Truce? If you would just keep your mouth to yourself in the first place, we wouldn't have a problem!

sigh

Fast start Amazons #1 tounamnet won by BBW. He beat 3 other strong players whos combined average BKR is 1000... BBW current BKR 2060. Thats quite an impressive tournament win, must say.

Anywho, you got my point. Truce now.
Maybe next time BBW, you could wait for someone else to do your bragging for you :)

You know it's sad when no one else cares, and IMCK starts to debate himself! LOL

IMCK - usually when I sign up for one of my own fast start tournament, I'm usually the first one signed up, so I have no control on who else signs on. I know you think I have a lot of control of this site, but I'm just a normal user here. Also, this site does not keep track of what ratings are when the tournament starts or when it was played - just what they are now, so things could have changed a lot since there.

Didnt take long.... the first tournament I looked at that BBW won... only 4 persons, including BBW. BBW BKR... 2060. Other 3 players BKRs 1413,1478,1021. Average 1304.

Now I dont know if that represents most of the other 'five' person tournaments that he has won, but that doesnt sound to me like a list of "top players"

Who cares

You are jealous because all you can boast of Upchuck is a dip[loma in BS LOL

You are helping to make my point BBW.....

Out of your 94 (or however many) tournament wins 43 (or so, almost half) have come from the 113 five person tournaments you have joined, while the other half of your win total comes from the other 435 tournament s that you have entered.

Ih other words.... You win about 40% of the five person tournaments you enter, and only about 10% of all the rest. Its simply misleading to brag about having 94 tournament wins when half of them come from tournaments with only four other competitors. It would be curious to find out how many of those competitors you beat actually had a higher bkr than yourself? (I am obviously bored, maybe I will check it out myself)

... and I did some "quick" stats for you.

I have created 1,363 fast start tournaments to date. I have joined only 113 of them, that is about 8% - so I joined very few of them.

And personally I have joined a total of 548 tournaments - so only about 20% are made up of my own "fast start" tournaments!

I guess that I am just not as impressed by being at or near the top of statistics lists as some...

I simply thought some perspective about your tournament win total was helpful.

IMCK - Um, first I don't have the most moves. Second, I don't have the most tournament wins. Third, there is not a game which I have the highest BKR. Forth, most of the tournament I create I do not sign up for myself! I would guess I sign up for less the 20% of the own tournaments I make!

Someone made a great milestone of 100 wins which I congradulated them for.... with the comment that I was right behind them. I'm sorry that you feel so inferior about it all, but that is all it was.

IM- sorry but most of BBW tourney that I sign up for does not have him playing. Most of the time it got the PRO arpa. So that is y I feel they r good tourneys to play. Cause, it only make me a better player but playin better people at a kind of game. Yes, we play them for fun but, winning them is fun to. And from time to time I get my behide spanked bad in some games. But it's all in learning. Again SORRY if I misread ur post. TYVM for ur time.
:o{P

LongJohn: 'Prize' tournaments without a prize will not be started. (see Fencer's post about 40 posts down the page.)

LMAO I thought summerdays were bright though LOL

outside today lol

he probably wanted a chance to win another membership for one of his feminine side pawns LOL

you are the only one stiring trouble up . fencer knows what he is doing doesnt need busy bodys keep asking him stupid questions all the time . if it doesnt suit your requirments dont play .

ditto Jason :o)

why do you have to poke your nose into other peoples business ? fencer runs the site not you!!!!
i trust all peoples tornaments except yours of course

Sorry mr loupcity... I didnt mean to be so vague. My post was not written to you or about you..... it was meant for BBW, who claims that he plays only for fun, but really seems obsessed with tooting his own horn about having made the most moves per day, or won the most tournaments, or having the highest bkr in the most games etc....
It just made me laugh when I read his post bragging about his tournament win total.

I agree Bumble that those 5 person tournaments are "legitimate" but they do not always attract the top players, as they are fast start with no bkr or other restrictions, therefore it depends who is online when they are created, and since BBW signs up when he creates them, there are only 4 other slots open, and it is simply the first 4 people who see them who get in.

Anywho, that is his right, and if thats what is fun to him, so be it. gain, I just think it is funny that on the one hand he says he plays tournaments for fun only, then on the other hand comes on bragging about his win total... is it all about winning or fun BBW? LMAO :)~

well done MrLoup :o)

Congrats mrloup!

The 5 player tournaments that BBW creates are legitimate and valid tournaments and a lot of fun. To win one isn't easy as they attract the top players. Long may they continue.

TYVM BBW
Just like in most I try my best and vgl on getting to ur 100th.
IM why don't u just keep ur crappy remark to urself. But that would not be the way u are, u always have some bad thing to say when something is about me. I know I have asked before just leave me alone.

is there a way to invite a bunch of people to a tourney? even if it's not an invite only or do I have to do it one at a time. ? ;)

I bet half of those "wins" were in 5 player tournaments.... I thought it was all about fun though, not bragging about how many tournaments we have won?

Anywho, Im off to create fast start 2 person backgammon tournaments, maybe I can catch up with you guys....

Congrats to mrloupcity for his 100th tournament win!

.... but watch out, I'm right behind you with 97 tournament wins! (What is sad is he won more of my own tournament then I have!) :-)

Invite only would be the only way to do that - or wait until the tournament is about to start and remove who you do not want to play.... or depending on the person, ask them in private message nicely to not join your tournament.

and list people you want to exclude from joining or does one have to go the "invitation only" tourney to accomplish that?

Fast Backgammon Tourney
Will start as soon as 2 more players sign up.
