rod03801: Really, never knew that, i thought people were always told to make sure they had enough spaces..... unless maybe that was at the start of a Tournament. I guess once you are started and you qualify you must carry on

thisbeme: As Snoopy said you have won your section (although there is still a game to finish), you have won all your games.

The winners of each section will then go through to play in Round 2 (still 2 games in section 1 to finish as well, although that as well is decided).

Save yourself 6 game places for the next Round

If you had lost your section, then Fencer would have removed you so you could join another Tournament like Bernice said, but i do not think he will remove you after winning. Though there is a clear second place.

Good to find Lines of Acion players here (and its variants of course), its an awesome game.

If you get bored send me an invite to any of the 4 variants

Bwild: Its an Elimination one lol

I guess what you mean is all the single players
As there was not 32 players entered when the Tournament had to start, there were Byes put in OR to put it another way, there was 17 players signed up, so to get it to 16 (so Elimination will work properly) one qualifying game has to be played

It took us ages to get Fencer to allow Byes, BUT if he had not that Tournament and loads of others would never start

Artful Dodger: lol

pedestrian: There is no automatic way of doing it built into the system, although people do run such Tournaments and work the points out themselves

It has been brought up before, though it is not on my list to give to Fencer, so i will add it now

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

Babe68: It is a strange problem

One Tournament has started, but not the other.........if you do not hear from Fencer today, post a note on the BrainKing.com Board

coan.net: I think i am playing most those 33 lol

I still think Team Tournaments are the way forward on BrainKing. It gives you that extra incentive to win, and its great to be part of a winning Team

Great to see we have 5 Teams now taking part in Nov 2009 Meow Cheshire Cat Lines of Action Team Tournament

I htink Lines of Action and its variants are some of the best games here, easy to learn, hard to be good at

Artful Dodger: No Lines of Action (or variant) But i will have a go at a couple

Nov 2009 Meow Cheshire Cat Lines of Action Team Tournament starts at the weekend

Need ONE more Team at least so it can begin

Madmonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (6) - Backgammon Race - fanciann

coan.net: True, maybe there should be a tick box in the Prize setup ie. Brains or Membership etc..

People should know what they are playing for

coan.net: One thing, i guess Fencer MUST know as the prize has been provided

Only 3 days before the TEAM Anti-Line4 Tournament starts - The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents

Only 2 Teams entered so far..... Only 5 players in a Team needed to enter

"GERRY": to all of us

Imsoaddicted: Yep, even worse was my Captain has vanished from BrainKing as well, so that made it worse

Clandestine 1: This is already on Fencers list, hopefully it will be part of BrainKing 3.0

I have just had a Team Tournament start, yet one of the player has not been here for a week, and is already timing in in normal games. Even though they have not made a move in this Team Tournament i can do nothing about it, so ALL those games are lost. Hence, the Tournament is lost already, and a waste of time for the others involved. It would be worse if any players were Knights / Bishops, they would be stuck there

coan.net: Yep.....a MUST in the new BrainKing

Would of been nice to know about that Poll before, but it does look like a yes

Imsoaddicted: The Tournament you mention i 100% agree about.

Is what is annoying, although there is still a game to finish, there is NO reason the next round can not start, as this last game will NOT effect who goes through to the next round.

This should be sorted in ALL Tournamnets so to speed them up

Anyone fancy a fast Massacre ?

Its a Massacre 1

First 5 play, 1 day, no days off, start when full

Resher: ahhh see, i am not just a pretty Chimp

Resher: Have you created Teams for them in the Fellowship ?

Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (8) - Battleboat Plus - MadMonkey

Monkeys Go, Halma & Reversi Mix - Halma 10x10 - cardinal

Fast Racing Kings 1 - Racing Kings - Ugo

Dice Chess 10x10 (part 2) - Dice Chess 10x10 - cd power

Dolittle: I know you are most sociable , you are already a black Rook anyway. Still u could always win it for me lol

"GERRY": lol, does not bother me at all, i only joined to answer your question

"GERRY": Well i have just joined one of your Tournaments and you have me blocked (who knows why ? and who cares anyway ? lol) so i guess Snoopy is correct

Dolittle: True littleone, but then as lots of people join Fellowships and never take an active role in them i would say it was worth the joining

"GERRY": Of course he has a choice. As it is by invite only it does not have to be in a Fellowship. He invites who ever he wishes to play

Dice Chess 10x10 (part 2)

First 5 play :)

First 5 play.....

Dice Chess 10x10

"GERRY": OK enough

Snoopy was just pointing out that what Marshmud was saying, is that there are many Members here who provide prizes for tournaments in Fellowships but do not go about the site telling everyone.

The same as there are many here who pay for others memberships etc... some people just like to do it privately.

FrancescoLR: We all like a little colour and diversity in our lives, BUT it is getting a bit silly now.

If everyone started doing the same thing it would be ridiculous. I am sure we can have the colour without the large font size.

Anyone fancy a game or more of Racing Kings, i think its great

It makes you think, but its quick and very addicting

(any invites 1-2 days is fine)

MadMonkey: Hurryyyyyyyy, one more player needed

Fast Racing Kings 1
First 5 play
4 games each
1 day, no days off

FrancescoLR: True, but unless you pick the most popular games Gammon, Dice Poker & Ludo, you will find there are many games people have not played (Jungle, Tank Battle etc..) AND AGAIN the problem is some of the great skill players here will not take part in Tournaments like that as games are controlled by dice and therefore involve luck

FrancescoLR: Il agree with Pedro, the games here i would say in your case would fall into 3 groups.

Cheversi, Scrambled Eggs, Logik, Amazons, Knight Fight, Ataxx, Assimilation, BB, DBB, BB+, Racing Kings, Jarmo, Mancala, Tank Battle, Camelot etc..... - Involve most skill (dont think you can get software to help, but probably get proved wrong lol)

All Gammons, All Pokers, Dice Chess etc..... - Controlled by Dice, yet still decisions to be made.

Chess, Checkers, Line4 etc..... - Can get software to help you, BUT of course we have some GREAT players that DO NOT use it.

Of course, they are my views, and others would feel different
I guess its totally down to you as the Tournament creator. If it was me personally for such a GREAT PRIZE i would run a Random group Tournament and pick a few games from each section to give everyone a chance

Oh good.....Another Checkers Team Tournament

Like we have no other games

MadMonkeys 'All Other Games' Mess (4) - Ludo - Nuno Miguel

MadMonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (9) - Cloning Backgammon - Fitzmertz

Marshmud: hmmm no idea chap, it can always be mentioned on Feature requests board

I see no problem myself.

Marshmud: You do not understand ....... Would you like me to write a paper on it

A few of the ones open for sign up are still running from there previous release

There are LOADSSSS of others to choose from, but sadly we can only ask

I messaged coan.net a while ago, but he only creates them every other month

We could just alternate between Mancala, Cheversi & Logik that would suit us

(sorry cancel Logik, that one is still running. Over 2 months and still waiting for first move in 2 of my games )

When are the next lot of Team Tournaments going to be posted

Only 3 weeks before the last one posted starts

MadMonkeys 'All Other Games' Mess (4) Frog Finder - Ugo

MadMonkeys 'Gammon' Stakes (9) Backgammon - Ladybird68

Come on Fellowship Bosses, and relevant Captains of course some Team Tournaments are starting to struggle

Please have a look and see if you can help out

July 2008 Turkish Checkers (NO DAYS OFF) needs just ONE more Team, and is 15 days late already.

Mort (Anti Froglet) & Wyrd Sisters (Parachute Lines of Action) also need ONE more Team in each, and have 10 days before they start.

(This was a BrainKing Team Tournament announcement lol)

coan.net: Funny this should be mentioned, i was going to create one for Dec 21, 2012 as thats when the world will end (well so the Mayan's say lol).

If you have no idea what i am on about, HERE is the 2012 homepage, but just try searching Google, you will find out lots. Of course they recently made a film about the Skulls, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, though not seen that so can't comment on it

OH, all happens in 4 years, 181 days if anyone's interested
