coan.net: Thx, I already figured it out and provided for the prizes :)

I just finished a single elimination tournament (http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=510738), where the game in the final round was a tie. I received a message saying that I finished second and looking at the tournament page, the other player is listed as a the winner. Is there some reason that we didn't both win or play a second game?

I'm pretty sure the tournament was a fellowship tournament, so the link might not work for everyone.

troydaniels: From what i can see the Tournament is a Single Elimination, so only ONE game will be played win, lose or draw. In the event of a draw the player with the lower BKR is classed as the winner

Come on!

Please sign up -> 1900 ;) (single elimination for 8 with immediately start)

talen314: I like that idea. To build on it a little:

Maybe starting in January 2010 - have a tournament of 1 game time (Backgammon, most popular) - then each month start a new one of the next most popular game. (so by October we will be through the top 10 games.)

I would like to see a simi-shorter time limit of maybe 2 days, 12 hours - but with standard vacations. (Maybe just a standard 3 days?)

I would also like to see the games not count towards a users game/tournament limit, so it would be open to ALL pawns & knights no matter if they have "free" game slots.

And like you mention, don't even really have to offer a prize, but maybe a special icon or something, like a "brainking cup" like you mentioned.

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Will you provide a prize for the tournament that you've created?

Tournament: (7. November 2009, 19:40:00) (Hyper Backgammon)
