ok, so boards may not be interesting when they are empty, some of us like debates, some dont. BUT why do things have to be repeated so often?

That's what she said, and I totally agree with her every word.
Here endeth the lesson.

that was a good one pipilo. Ok, I'll try to avoid repeating mself in the future. Ambiguous statements are probably the number one cause of repeated statements, so I'll also try to make sure my statemnents are not vague or ambiguous.

NEW SUBJECT YAHOOOOOO

There is a new tournament for all those budding Tablut players out there. Come join the fun at:

Tablut - Black + White #1

I just created a Gothic Chess "warm up" tournament.
Sign up if you want to practise your game a bit before the big money tournament.
Only for fast players, please.
Sign-ups close and games begin this Saturday.

Everyone is welcome to enter Bazz's first Tourney.
Closing date 1st June, 2 games per player, 3 days per move, 4 games to choose from- Line4, Spiderline4, Linetris and antiline4!

Want to be added to the list of people to beat me senseless at Checkers? Then Join up.

All are welcome. Lets face it, its the easiest way to boost you're own BKR :o)

HURRY!!!! Only one more Spiderline4 player rated between 1800-2200 needed by 1st June.

I have have checked all the places I could think to find informaiton on how to define a tournament. Help, FAQ, Touraments, My Tournaments does not show a link. Doesn't seem that only paid memebers are allowed to do so.
Thanks, I am sure the link to define a tournament is in a very logical spot??

Only Brain Rook (and above) can define a new tournament.

LOL, that answered my question, thanks

Una

Any pawns here want to win a 6 months rook membership??? Join the tablut PRIZE tournament!!

Starts in one month... You need 7 free slots to join. If you sign up and find you do not have the available slots when the tournament starts you will not be allowed to participate.
Good luck to all :o)

You see that there are no tournaments of a particular type and so decide to make then suddenly off they go ... well here is the one that started the trend ... this is your last day so sign up now at:
Tablut - Black + White #1 (Tablut)

:o( Sorry Whisperz, didn't want to tread on your toes starting a tablut tourney as well. Just trying to get the new members interested!

Hi !

The tournament I am in goes like a snail,,how can we speed it up in the future ?
It`s not fun to wait so long before you can join another tournament. Why not make some kind of special rule when it comes to this kind of game ?
This is something for us to think about in the future !!!!

Blackadder Mr K: What do you think why they have BrainKnight and BrainRook Membership for!!! So, you can play more tournament. Being brainpawn you can't have everything you want your way.
Have a nice day! :-)

Why is there a considerable delay between the 'last term to sign up' for a tournament and the time when it actually gets started?

The person who creates a tournament actually has to start the tournament.

So it depends on when the creator is on-line to start it. I usually try to start all mine within 24 hours of the "last term to sign up".... but others... ???? :-)

And I am in Australia which is 9-10 hours ahead of Europe and probably 15-18 ahead of the States. The Tablut tournament I will start soon had a last entry date of 3 June, so I will wait until the end of the 4th (just past the end of the 3rd in the good ol' USofA) before I start it ... which will obviously be well into the 4th for some.

Also there are 2 butons to start a tourney, you press one to close for sign up, then you have to go back and press another almost identical one to actually start the tourney.
Its very easy to forget to do this!! I've done it once, but I always remember now because I got such a good tongue lashing for forgetting!! LOL!!

I will improve it. Later :-)

is there a way to be notified when Extinction Chess tourneys are gonna be posted? thats basically all i play.....:-)

Sometimes (not often) the tournament creator will post a message here or on another board announcing the tournament. If they do not do that, the best way it to just periodically check the "Tournaments" page found on the left of this page. Many tournaments have all games included, and many others are a single game, or a few games. You might have to check through them to find the one(s) you want.

However, being a brain pawn (non-paying member) you are limited to one tournament entry at a time, and cannot join another tournament until either your section completes and you do not move on to the next round, or the tournament finishes :-)

New tournament been posted. Just a small one of the most played games as its getting to holiday time :-)

3 tournaments to sign up for....Watson's 15-day Summer Five in Line Games...Watson's 15-day Summer Halma Games...and Watson's 15-day Summer Pente Games...the closing date is June 23...it is posted on the main tournament page near the bottom...the games are open to all players

i have some space left in crowded backgammon & tablut if anyone can help out , also just set up battle boats if anyones interested ;~))
jasons games room

I'm assuming the teams will have to agree on how many players, and only that many players will play. Although, it would be possible with uneven players. And why do the ratings have to be equal? It will never happen exactly, and even if it does the ratings are never a completely accurate representation of a player's ability until they play infinite games :-)

I have created my 5th Spider Line4 tournament a few days ago. It's open for everyone to join, and will probably start around the 21st of June.

Even so, the teams have to agree before they can have a tournament. If one team doesn't agree to play, there won't be a tournament.

Icon, it also depends if you want to play for fun or not! There are a lot of serious players here, I play more for fun, but some of my teams have very serious players... I guess fellowship captains will soon get to know which are the 'serious' ones, and play more often against those, if thats their choice.

Still need some players for:
Five in line
Spider line 4
Reversi 8x8
Halma 8x8
for tournament starting Friday, help if you can spare a little place or 2 please lol

I've created a Screen Chess & Crazy Screen Chess tournament (These are 2 of the newer games here!)

Tournament is HERE

So if anyone wants to try out a new game, why not join now!

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

I need 2 challengers for my Mini 5 in line.Deadline is tomorrow.

I'LL PLAY

I'M READY

I need at least one more player for five in a line starting on Friday :-)

ive just joined the backgammon open, can u tell me is it divided into small groups when it starts for a rounds type thing, i just want to know how many games to expect, thanks in advance for replys.

it's down to one (1) more. join to start play quickly. click HERE.

grant: Considering it is 2 games against each player, and you will probably be in an 8-person section (based on the # of sign-ups) you could have as many as 14 games in that tournament.

ok thanks for letting me know, may have to re-consider.

i couldn't log on yesterday,is there any way i could continue This game?

Apple03: Could you not get on because of the site acess problems ? If so just send Fencer a message with the game number and explain, he will normally reinstate it :-)

ok thank you

i signed up for a tournament. will i get a e-mail letting me know when it starts?

No, the games will just appear on your game sheet.

It seems this one player won't make moves in our games preventing me from playing someone else's tournament. What should I do?

break out the credit card and join, its worth it to rid of those kinda hassles.

Hello everyone.
I've posted a tournament for those that play Anti-Checkers.

Time limit is 5 days per move with 2 games aside. It is created for those rated 1700 and under (including Provisionals and unrated players).

So, if you fall into this category, sign on up. Signups end June 28.

Thank you.

Created a summer five in line for ALL PLAYERS. So even if you are under 2000 in "rating" you can sign up.
