rod03801: I love tournaments. They have the competitive aspect of games, but on steroids.

For that reason tournament organizers are my heroes, and I am grateful for anyone who organizes one.

If you want to know why I won't be playing in this tournament, or any x-gammon tournament, check out the starting date of this one:

The first doubling cube tournament

I won't play in 1 point backgammon tournaments either; there is simply too much luck involved for my taste.

Between the two problems with x-gammon tournaments, I won't play in any x-gammon turn-based tournaments, despite my inherent love of tournaments in general.

My apologies to any gammon tourney organizers for saying so publicly, but I think prospective players in such tournaments should be aware of the inherent problems in them....

Clandestine 1: Not a lot fall into that category. There's only 39 people above 2300. And 22 of them are pawns, and could already be in tournaments. (They can only be in 1 at a time)

28.6.11- Americká dáma - Checkers - Only 3 Teams

happyjuggler0: If a tournament is tied with one section left, there is no longer another round?

Yup, that is exactly how it works here…

Resher: I still don't understand. The rules specified a playoff format for a 2-player section, so I am still confused as to why there is no round 2.

Is it the case that in all BK tournaments that if it is tied (including S-B tiebreaks of course) with one section left, that there is no longer another round? I just assumed that all ties keep progressing to another round until you reach that 2 player playoff or until there is a clear winner, whichever comes first.

happyjuggler0: Each game type has its own separate tournament. In Reversi 6x6, there were only 4 players, so only 1 section and no round 2.

hypáč

Ok, I was not involved in this section. However, I stumbled across it because I am in a different game section and I happened to notice that it had two winners.

My question is this: why was there no round 2?

Please note that I am not complaining, since I have no stake in this "fight". I am merely trying to understand what appears to me to be an anomaly in the tournament rules.

Thanks in advance to any who reply.

Look's like the tourney started on time guess it was just a glitch!
Status: running

happyjuggler0: could be... Still have 13 hours before it should start, guess we'll have to wait & see what happens.

alilsassy: Maybe there is an end of the month glitch for months that have 31 days?

Just speculating....

Artful Dodger: Yes, I get a message like this if not all my games I had listed to choose from are filled by the deadline.......but this is a Random game tournament not schedules to begin til 31. May 2011, 17:00:00.

rod03801: It is weird....there are still several more hours remaining before the deadline, and more than the minimum amount of players have signed up.

rod03801: I got one too:

New message(back to the list of messages)
Date and time: 30. May 2011, 17:05:08
Subject: Your tournament has been deleted
Archive


Tournament: Misc games :)

Your tournament has been deleted because minimum number of players had not signed up.


But: Some of the sections have already started because I set the parameters to start if 4 were in a section. Here's the tourney: Misc games :)

some sections have more than 4 because I changed the parameters after the tourney posted. I suspect that the message had to do with those sections that were in fact deleted :)

coan.net: I just had a quick scan down the list and apart from some of the Chess & Checker variants that we have not had in a while came up with a few...

Hyper Backgammon
Dark Chess
Anti Froglet
Cheshire Cat Chess
Scrambled Eggs
Behemoth Chess
Spider Linetris
Ataxx or Assimilation

MadMonkey: Anyone have some suggestions for site team tournament games?

alilsassy: Weird. Plus it doesn't seem to be deleted at all, even.

 Can someone explain to me why I would get this message a day before my tournament was scheduled to begin?  A glitch?
 Date and time: 30. May 2011, 17:05:12

Tournament: Salute to all the heroes.....

Tuesday: thxs

coan.net: I spoke to Bobes, he has a Team ready, just selecting a Captain.....

Would be handy to have some way, for Yourself, Tanien (or even i dont mind) to contact all Bosses (and even Team captains of a certain games) when getting close to the Team Tournament start date just to remind them

MadMonkey: I did go ahead and move Embassy Chess Team Tournament back to the end of the month - hopefully a couple more fellowships can get teams together.

A couple of these current site team tournament never had site team tournaments before - so hopefully fellowships can get teams together for them all.

Undertaker.: Come on people!
