It’s a multi game tournament: ALL20 The rules are simple: You must sign up for all 20 games. The player with most points combined in all 20 games is the winner and will receive a symbolic prize of 10 brains. Message me if you want to play and I will invite you. Remember that you must sign up for all 20 games. For technical reasons, I had to divide the tournament into two sub-tournaments because some of the games are 5-point-matches. You will have to sign up for 17 games in one sub-tournament and 3 games in the other. The number of players will be between 4 and 11. If we get 11 players, that means 200 games for each.

This will only affect Backgammon; the other two games can’t be played with doubling cube and will be played as regular 5-point matches instead.) /pedestrian 10. maart 2012, 09:01:32 Onderwerp: And the winner of the 1st BrainKing Decathlon Invitational is... ...tenuki! With 74 of 450 games still going, nobody can catch up with tenuki's impressive score: 75 points in 81 games. Congrats! Full details here. Thanks to all who played, and enjoy your remaining games! /pedestrian 28. februari 2012, 16:13:57 Onderwerp: Re: Never-ending tournament Thom27: That's an interesting idea, but I'm still not convinced that Go can compete with Anti Backgammon in this respect. How many moves would a game of Go take when played this way? Forming the 'perfect grid' you speak of should take 180 or 181 moves, but you will most likely have placed some extra stones early in the game that don't fit into the grid. I'm guessing slightly more than 200 moves would be realistic? 28. februari 2012, 09:15:59 Onderwerp: Never-ending tournament A word of warning: The never-ending tournament begins tomorrow.

I'm eager to see how this concept works out. You can't sign up for this (it's an invitational!) but you can follow some strong players face each other in some of the toughest games on BrainKing. I'm still thinking about creating an open section featuring the same 10 games, but I'm not sure if there's sufficient interest. Message me if you're interested but remember that it will add a lot of games to your games list. 25. augustus 2011, 08:55:47 Just to remind you that these start tomorrow.

"GERRY": I hope that is obvious from the first line of my post dated 29. June 2010, 13:58:39. In this case, they prevented a new member from finding those tournaments he could actually enter. It's just an opinion, of course. 29. juni 2010, 13:58:39 Onderwerp: Re: How do you sign up for tournaments ? Aangepast door pedestrian (29. juni 2010, 13:59:28) Jump This: What you're talking about is the prize tournament that are, annoyingly, placed on top of the tournament page. Scroll down, and you'll find the regular tournaments. Those are for people like you and me who have no 'brains' (No, you can't buy 'brains' anymore, which make those prize tournaments a bit pointless IMO).As I said, you have to click each tournament (after you scrolled down) to see which games it contains. But in your case, since you know what you're looking for, you should do a search for Spider Line4. You'll find the search options right under the prize tournaments. Use the drop down that says 'all games' and change that to 'Spider Line4' and click 'show'. Now all the tournaments listed (except, still, those annoying prize tournaments) will contain a section called Spider Line4. Note that you still have to click each tournament to get to its sections, and also note that the Spider Line4 section may be closed. Unfortanately, you can't narrow your search to show open sections only. I warned you it was complicated - but only until you get the hang of it. 29. juni 2010, 13:30:36 Onderwerp: Re: How do you sign up for tournaments ? Aangepast door pedestrian (29. juni 2010, 13:31:21) Jump This: Hard to tell what you're missing, but the tournaments here are a lot different from IYT. First of all, most tounaments contain several game types. Every tournament is divided into sections, each containing one game type, but you'll have to click each tournament to see which sections it has. Or, if you're looking for a specific game type, you can narrow it down a bit by searching for tournaments which contain that game. But you still get the full list of sections, and you may find that you can't join the game you searched for, because that section already started. All very confusing, I know, but give it a try. 25. mei 2010, 00:06:40 18. mei 2010, 23:58:27 11. mei 2010, 23:53:14 Onderwerp: Chess Lottery Still two weeks left to sign up for: Chess Lottery Random tournament involving all chess variants, all-play-all.

Incidentally, this coincides with my half-birthday.) 14. januari 2010, 06:30:39 Onderwerp: Re: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible? Nothingness: That is interesting. I'd be very interested in seeing how you set it up. Do you have a link to the tournament? 9. januari 2010, 11:37:05 Onderwerp: Re: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible? Thanks for the inputs so far! talen314: Yes, I had something like that in mind when I talked about a way to ‘work around’ the current system. But I’d still prefer a tournament when you played all the selected game types against the same opponents. From a sporting point of view, that would be the fairest way to find the tournament winner. MadMonkey: Thanks for putting the suggestion on your list! I get the impression that Fencer has plenty to do with the upgrade he’s working on, but maybe a different system for tournament creation is part of that too – who knows? An additional problem is the ‘match type’ used for the different games. It would be nice if that could be set separately for each game type. One of the game types in a brainking decathlon could be a backgammon match using the cube, but I think you’d have to set that up as a separate tournament in the current system. I suppose an invitational tournament would make most sense, to make sure that everyone is playing all the games. But I’ll probably wait and see how tournaments work in the new Brainking 3.0 before I decide what to do. 8. januari 2010, 14:45:35 Onderwerp: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible? Not sure if this belongs here or in the ‘feature requests’ forum, but here goes: I think it would be interesting to organize a tournament similar to decathlon in athletics. Each two opponents would have to play ten (or a different number) of pre-defined game types against each other, and the accumulated score in all game types would decide who qualifies for the next round. Apparently, this can’t be done in the current tournament structure (correct me if I’m wrong). So, I wonder if there is a practical way to work around it, for instance by starting tournaments in each game type and then calculate the overall winner manually; or (preferably), if an option could be implemented in Brainking 3.0 to create tournaments with multiple game types. I’m considering buying a brain rook membership to set up a tournament like this, but I’d appreciate any input from more experienced tournament creators before I start. |
