furbster: I hope that doesn't happen, because I am offline for two weeks before the 20th, so I would lose on time... I actually rely on it starting only that day.
Aganju: I would imagine it probably will start on the stated date to be fair. I think the last prize backgammon tourenament i created only had 84 players, and this one being red dot, will put a few players off joining too.
Are you rated 1600 or lower (or unrated) in knight fight? Sign up for my tournament then First Friday Knight Fights Low Ratings it only needs one more player and it will start.
I'm sure this has been discussed before but if somebody could kindly remind me why a second round can't begin for the advancing players when all others have been mathematically eliminated from contention, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
JerNYC: Because the complexity of verifying this fact can be extraordinary high, and even if it is low in many cases, someone has to code it for those cases. The owner of this site has made it very clear, multiple times, that this or any other improvement of BrainKing is not high on his list of life priorities, so no such code is to be expected.
Aganju: This is the only site I know of where all games have to be finished to initiate the next round. Which means an extremely slow player who is already ineligible to advance can hold up the tournament for an indefinite length of time. I generally like the site and the competition, but I find the tournaments to be the weakest feature.
In this tournament DeaD Man's GaMeS to StarT Sep 1 , my logik game and another logik game are draws ( a common outcome). This is an elimination tournament but we didn't start a second game to decide the bracket, like I thought we would.
Does this happen all the time, or is it different this time?
happyjuggler0: it depends on the way the tournament was setup. If it is for one point, you would have another match. If it was for one game, that game is done and that's it. In this case, a draw results in the lower ranked participant moving into the next round (a draw is considered a 'little win' as he should have lost with the lower ranking)
