aaru: Don't you have the option to start tournaments with less players than 8? This way, 1 or 2 players go on to 2 round without play first round, but at least tournament has started, right?
Argomento: Brf's 4th annual St Pat's pente tournament
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that it's that time again.
Brf's 4th annual St Pat's pente tournament is here for 2010! There's only 3 hours left until the tourney starts and you could be the lucky winner of 1 year brain rook!
DeaD man WalkiN: I know exactly what you mean(unfortunately)...I have just finished a tournament game against angelstar. And guess what. I won by time out.The worst part is the fact that there was no move at all by my opponent. Practically the game never started...I just wonder why even bother joining a tournament if you cannot play?whatever...
I'm really getting sick of angelstar timing out of all their games to me. If people would set up a tournament would just set the PLAYERS RATING out of there range. Then they could not join as many tournaments. Just some thing for people to think about...

nikos: The language was ambiguous as to whether it was a combined score or separate prize for each event :
Brainking 2010 should not be open to pawn members if they can't win. Suppose I win the LOA section of the tournament then I have skewed the tournament for a good LOA player as I can't enter more than one tournament at once. Good Luck to everyone in brainking 2010.
thisbeme: Sorry to read this,but if you are complaining about this, well I'll diappoint you,but it's your fault. There is a small breafing notifying every player what this tournament is all about,so pay attention next time. Cheers
Starting out on this site I discover that I want to have more than I want to play more thanj one tournament at a time and so need to improve my membership level. Fortunately there are tournaments that can be one that offer prizes with no entry fee :). So I see a nice prize for the game espionage, I think I'll play that and although I've never played it's a tempting prize so sign up. Then I see brainking 2010 lines of action and sign up and unsignup from espionage, even though the prize isn't as good but it is propbably my best game and suspect I have a decent chance of doing well. Now I see that I have no chance to win the prize because I need to be the best overall over every brainking 2010 event and since I am only allowed to play one event I have no chance to win the brains.
