MadMonkey: I'm not sure about that.... While it might be useful to have that ability - there would be some that would send continual messages over and over - and it would end up being a bad thing. Some people play their games in a particular order for a reason, while others might not have a problem with picking up the pace on a certain game.... but giving someone the ability to mass spam members of a tourney could be abused. What about all the members whose games are already done? Could there be a setting to check to choose to not get mass messages? That might help....

redfrog: well, it could be done that you could opt out of those messages as well.....

redfrog: It wouldn't be abused as easily if only the tournament creator could do it

redfrog: As long as there is an option to turn off them message like in "all fellowship" messages, then I have no problem with it. I read tournament discussion boards & read main fellowship discussion boards - so I don't need to get the same message through private PM's

MadMonkey: what you're asking is not the right solution for the problem you placed. If a couple of members are holding back a tournament, messaging the 100 members of a tournament will bother 98 that have long finished their games. Why not simply send messages directly to the "offending" ones (tough they're not doing anything wrong since they are obbeying the time limit the creator has set for the tournament)

pauloaguia: This is true, BUT i think its sad when some people will hold a Tournament up when they have no way of going through to the next round

Which leads to another point always raised, mainly in Elimination Tournaments, why can not the next round continue when even without the previous rounds results ?????

May get more interest from Bishops & Knights (and even Pawns in certain situations) if they do not have to be help up because of a certain few

Anyway, i came second at poker tonight, so not happy
