have a marvelous day :)

December Backgammon

Good Luck

All Games Fast Start 1

Jan 1 2014 Pente Tourney for 6month Rook!

I normally do these things just for the folks in the SPP fellowship but this time I've opened this up BK wide!

this Tourney does have a fischers clock since I want it to be over before The 8th Annual St Pats Tourney which will start in March but the time limits should be pretty doable.

5 day start time with 8 hour bonuses for each move with a max time accumulated of 10days. 5 player sections also btw!

I know someone wants this 6 month Rook prize so Good luck to everyone that signs up, and may the pente gods be on your side!

Several of the games of BAH HUMBUG!! #2 started tonight. There are 2 more days to sign up for the ones that didn't have enough, though. There are a couple that only need one more person. So, be that person to let it start!

Dear friends:
Trying to promote new memberships for my fellowship, I´ve created this Prize tourney:
The Chess Club (1. December 2013, 12:42:24)
Please feel free to invite all your friends (they must require membership to enter)
Regards,
tenuki.

January Backgammon

Good luck

TC: I checked that last time and I think I am outside those 10% in all games. I think you will run into the issue that a significant number of those 10% are not playing anymore just sitting there. But otherwise I like the idea.
Here a hint how you can make it easier for potential participants: Obviously, because of your 10%-cutoff-point, the minimum rating needed is different for each game. You could list that minimum rating, so anyone can see right away if he falls into it. I found it rather tiresome to scroll through the full list to find out how many people are in total in the list, divide it by ten, and then find the rating of that position to see if I make it. If you do that once, you save everybody that work, and maybe get more players? Not me though...

Aganju: Good suggestion.

Aganju: At the top of each list, it says how many people are listed. Simply take the last digit off that #, and if you above that #, you are eligible.

rod03801: First, only active players? Or inactive too? Only established BKRs? or provisional too? That leaves four combinations to pick from.
Second, for me this page very often shows (incorrectly, of course) "Your current position is 1 of 1", which result in me having to do many clicks to even find my position.

Aganju: Then there's always the option of signing up and letting TC decide.

The Col:

I loved Putin's half-heated clapping for the USA pairs figure skaters after they set a new scoring record

Aganju: : The manual organizing a tournament like this one (all backgammon games, for grouped players limited with some restrictions) has many handicapes.

Sorry but here in BrainKing.com, we have not enough possibilities for our needs when need to create a tournament!

Thanks in advance for all type hints, specially for preferable and easy operable additions!






.

I've added a few more site team tournaments, including a 21 point Hyper Backgammon one - Hyper Backgammon is a quick game, so playing to 21 points shouldn't take *super* long time to complete.

I try to shake it up with different games, so if you think I'm missing a game, let me know and I may give it a try.

coan.net: Thanks coan. 

Undertaker.: Well at the time it seemed like we were getting a lot of running tournaments, so this batch I put the 14 days in between both - both another has also asked me about it - and myself, Site Team Tournaments are the only one's I play also, so I do enjoy them - so when I start to make the next batch, I'll go back to my normal 7-10 days between tournaments

coan.net: Ok, thanks. 

Looking for Spring!!! looking for players all games available
