Pioneer54: Quite often, playing in tournaments, one meets players rated 400 points or more below your own raying. You may get 1 point for winning, with sometimes a loss of over 100 points for a loss!! Swiss tournaments would, to a large extent, stop this happening. They combine the best of knock-outs and all-play-all tournaments.
All sections have their minimum number of players signed up; well done and thank you. We'll just wait until 30 June to see if any more want to sign up.
Sorry, typing error - but the percentages are still generally what I find! Another game where you can think for hours and come up with the wrong move; tablut.
I reckon that 80% of the time, you can play moves without thinking and another 17% neds a bit of thought (about 10 seconds worth). Gothic Chess is the killer; you can think for half-an-hour and still make the wrong move.
Argomento: Re: Never-ending tourneys because of one player
Artful - like $2 a month!! 50c a week! A pint of bitter costs £1.90 (or around $3.00 in USA currency). How pawns can live with the tournament restrictions is beyond me.
Zucan - you mean, run 4 separate tournaments for the 4 team members? Like you have all the first boards in one tourn, all the 2nd boards in another and so on?
Vacation times, even during tournaments, are essential! This is one of the worst features at IYT, that they don't allow vacations for tournaments. Hence, the large number of 'forfeits'.
How about putting WINNER in red alongside the tournament and, say, FINALS in red? then we can gloat a bit.
Also, how avbout telling us all when someone has won a tournament (again, might boost your Brain Knight + membership).
I do wonder whether any of us are so mad keen to win a tournament. For me, it is a good way of getting more games started, without the hassle of sending out invites.
If you remove Pawns who have paid to become Knights, then this might persuade them not to become knights!! But I guess this affects so few players that it hardly makes any difference which way you decide.
