Onderwerp: What's A Raingutter Regatta???

I'm glad you asked

A Raingutter Regatta is a boat race using small hand-built boats with sails. The boats are placed in a raingutter and the competitors act as the wind source by blowing the boat from one end of the gutter to the other

Here are some real life pictures of a Raingutter Regatta event.

The Campfire, a brand new fellowship, is holding it's first tournament, Raingutter Regatta #1. Since it's difficult to get us all together on such short notice (much less taking time to build all those little boats), we are simply including all BrainKing naval tactics games in our tournament. So if you like playing Battleboats, Dark Battle Boats, or Battle Boats Plus, please stop by The Campfire and sign up!

Onderwerp: Beginners Tablut

Need more participants for the Beginners Tablut #3, due to start on Monday! My BKR has risen above 1500, although I registered when it was much lower. As the system will not automatically kick me I think it only fair that I remove myself - I will do this if more than the minimum people are registered.

Best of luck!

THE HIT MAN: Didn't know this was a 'no pawns allowed' tournament. My mistake.

1. mei 2005, 21:40:55

Backoff

pawns were allowed. but you can only play in one tournament game type (i.e. chess, backgammon).

Onderwerp: Re:

Backoff: I thought Knights were allowed one tournament per game type and that Pawns were allowed only one single tournament at a time.

2. mei 2005, 03:28:41

Backoff

that's what I ment. pawns can only enter one tournament at a time and only play one kind of game.

Well - She did it. She won at least one of my tournaments. Awesome job Partica on winning the tourny and only losing one game total in the final round.

Check it out BK - Congrats to Partica for winning...

By definition (must play at least ten different games), pawns are excluded. Pawns are only allowed one tournament game at a time (can't play in two tournaments or even two different games within the same tournament). If you want to have an all rooks tourney, that's fine. Getting DQ'd by a rule that was added after I had successfully entered is pretty bush league, though.

I have a question. I am running a prize tournament, but the prize is a copy of my software program which is available here:

http://www.GothicChess.org/vortex.zip

Given that the prize is easily bestowed, why will the tournament still not start?

I have emailed Fencer but have no reply. There is no "cash" for this event, just a software key, which will only work on one machine, the machine of the winner.

How does one get the tournament started?

Onderwerp: Re:

EdTrice: Maybe it is because Fencer cannot guarantee the prize so he therefore cannot allow it to start?

I would suggest the easiest solution is to send Fencer the key and he can then send it to the winner and therefore your tournament can officially start as a "Prize Tournament" That way everyone would be happy.

4. mei 2005, 05:49:41

I cant send the key until the winner sends me info from his hardware where the program is running

oh well, just aint gonna happen then is it. what a shame

4. mei 2005, 07:32:20

Onderwerp: Re:

EdTrice: Then I cannot guarantee the key would be really sent after the winner is determined. Due to past experiences with some prize tournaments where the prize was not provided, I must have the prize prepared before the tourney starts. I mean, a fully working copy of Vortex which I'll be able to send to the winner and he'll be able to install it and use it with no further problems. Of course, I must be granted a right to do such things with a licenced software.

Fencer: Does that mean that I can't run anymore of my prize tournaments for the ponds?
I have a fathers day one due to start in august, please let me know so I can cancel it if necessary :(
I might add that I have run about 6-7 prizes tourneys and have honoured all promises :)

4. mei 2005, 08:36:00

Onderwerp: Re: Re:

BerniceC: It doesn't apply to ponds because nothing like prize ponds had been officially defined. Moreover, ponds are usually finished much faster than tournaments so there is a less chance the prize provider would disappear before the winner is determined :-)

The software key generator is $175. Am I supposed to send that to you with the unlocked appication so you can generate the key when the winner sends you the code?

Fencer is aware of tournaments re-named posthumously (for want of a better word).
Until a solution is found it's probably best not to draw attention to them on a public board... hence the deletions. Sorry!
