MadMonkey: It seems to me this isn't the first time this sort of problem has arisen after the annual archiving. I think last year or the year before there were problems, too. Maybe not specifically the same exact problem, but pretty similar, I think. I don't remember it clearly now, though.
This tournament is for players rated 1500 or under --AND-- unrated players.
This is a GREAT way to learn new games - or play games without being killed by the expert players.
In the next couple of days, I will go through and remove players who are WAY over 1500 to keep it fair for everyone... so don't worry if you see someone rated 2000+, they should be removed here soon.
Right, lets get the New Year off to a great start Come and join in the next lot of MadMonkey Tournaments Have Fun everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all

coan.net: Yup, that's right. I abandonned my Anti-Backgammon team for a while because of the big amount of members until the team tournament starts, then I return.
TarantinoFan: Yes, once a team tournament starts - all games will continue until the end (all next rounds will start also) - even if the person leave the fellowship team.
I believe they have to stay on the team until it starts - but once it starts, it will let them leave to join any other fellowship team they want.
So they can leave your team as soon as the tourney starts and go back to their old team to be able to paricipate in f/s challenge matches but their games for your team still continue? I thought that once you were in a game for a f/s you had to stay until the tournament/challenge ended?
If that is the case I will let my team know about it so that any that miss out can participate with another team in the team tourney but still come back to us if they wish to play with us in our f/s challenges.
I do understand your point about multiple teams though. When you think about it it might mean your own f/s playing your own f/s in the last section. And keeping it to one team allows more f/s a chance to participate.
TarantinoFan: There is no guarantee, but it is a pretty safe bet that many of the "unpopular" games will have between 4-6 players, while the more popular games will most likely have between 7-10 players.
So Backgammon, Ludo, Frog Finger, Triple Dice Poker - mostly likely will always be around 8 (give or take a few)
Plus members can always leave and go back to a team after a tournament starts - for example, for Ludo my Private Den fellowship snatched 3 players from another fellowships team to enter the tournament... but I would guess (and welcome) then going back to their original team if they wanted.

It had been talked about before - possible letting fellowships enter multiple teams, but that might hurt some of the smaller fellowships - that is for example, my Gammon Cube fellowship easily had 25 players on the Backgammon team before the team tournaments started - if I would have been able to enter all of them in multiple teams, a few others fellowships may not have been able to gather teams.
joshi tm: Well that's not fun! Would be great to be able to run 2 teams at a time! And what happens next time there is a team tourney. If you have had to leave players out this time and they go somewhere else just so they can get a game but the next tourney offers more places do you beg them to come back to you?? Is there some guarantee that these team tourneys will always have the same number of team players?
