Subiectul: New prize tournament

I've recently won a prize tournament, but I really don't need the prize - so why not create my own tournament to give away the prize!

Tournament: Battleboat Plus

Prize: 6 month knight membership (Fencer already has waiting for winner)

Format: 2 games per player since white does have an advantage

Time: 4 days per move

Start Time: September 15, 2004

Where to signup: SIGN UP HERE!

Other rules: No cheating, and have fun!

Subiectul: Beginners Luck

I wanted to thank you for the game and wish you luck on the rest of your games in the "For Dummies" chess tournament... but I couldn't message you because you placed me on your enemies list.

I'd be interested to know why, since I haven't done anything wrong...

21. August 2004, 08:04:10

Yes.

Jason

so winning fellowships from each section goes through to the next round if i understand correctly.

21. August 2004, 07:58:59

Jason: The system is exactly the same as for normal tournaments. You must only substitute "players" by "teams".

in the team tournaments i see there are two sections of 7 fellowships (five in line for example) when all games are played is a winner determind from the score of wins or does the winners of each section play each other .

Subiectul: Re: Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (5)

I would, MM, but since I'm about to take a week off, my games wouldn't go very fast for a while. Guess I'll have to catch the next one.

:(

Subiectul: Re: delete all the boards

LongJohn, I took your advice and have deleted quite a few on boards that do not have that problem. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Only the big boss can create a tournament within a fellowship. Anyone with a membership rook or higher can create their own public tournament - simply go to the "Tournaments" page (found on either left or top links, depending if you're using row or column layout), and there should be a link towards the top of the page that says "Define new tournament". From there, you can set up things like the game-type(s), description, time limit, membership levels, section size, start date, etc.

Subiectul: Tournament DB

Please can we all keep this board for what it meant for:
BrainKing.com tournaments - questions, answers & discussion.
As Red Dragon pointed out bumble is away and i am ver busy for until the weekend, so dont have alot of time to get on to.
Obvioulsy Fencer still can if he sees something he does not like & is off subject, BUT i am sure he has better things to do.
I don't want to set this board to having 'All posts must be approved'

18. August 2004, 10:33:50

red dragon

I agree BBW, the post is everywhere even in places like 'Birthdays' and 'Prayers' where there is nothing but good wishes.

Unfortunately bumble cannot delete as he is at the Olympics (watching not competing!) for a couple of days so it's up to MM to delete if he so wishes from here.
Maybe it would save a lot of trouble if musiclover deletes the post from inappropriate boards herself.

Subiectul: Did not mean to SPAM message boards; not my intention.

I am sorry and it will not happen again. I thought maybe my opinion about peace and love to all was worth something and wanted everyone to see it. I shall watch my etiquette more carefully from now on and maybe keep my opinions to myself. Did not mean to start anything. I thought it might help; instead it is causing more problems. Oh well, live and learn something new each day. Thank you for taking the time to give me your message.

18. August 2004, 00:12:47

Going through my favourite boards... I just *KNOW* what the one post is in the "Tournaments" board after going though the rest, but you know there was still something in me that still made me have to click to check. :-)

Sorry bumble & MadMonkey - feel free to remove this as it is off topic.

17. August 2004, 12:49:00

It is defined on the particular tournament page.

Subiectul: Hello

How many members does a team need before they can enter a tourney?

16. August 2004, 16:38:17

NOT a floosie

She told me she was going to set a few days up for vacation before the storm hit, just in case. It looks like she did, but there is no telling when her power will be back on.

We'll just have to wait and see. I mostly just wanted everyone to understand that any games she times out in, isn't her fault.

16. August 2004, 16:12:19

Maybe Fencer can set a few vacation days for her so she will not time out.

16. August 2004, 15:53:05

Subiectul: Ellieoop & family

Ellieoop lives in an area that was hit by the hurricane in Florida. She is without power, and may be for a while.

If she starts timing out in her games, I hope that everyone playing her will give her the chance to restore them when her power is restored. Thanks.

Subiectul: Vacation Time!

Just to let my potential tourney opponents know, I will be away on vaction for the week of August 21. I probably won't get a chance to pop online during that time.

I've still got a week left before that; I'll try to be online a lot in case any of you want to try and move our games along. :)

If not, I'll see you when I get back. Enjoy...

BBW: Yes, exactly :-)

13. August 2004, 17:06:44

Yes, it's a small bug. I will upload a fix tonight.

13. August 2004, 15:31:21

thats makes sense

13. August 2004, 15:28:48

Looks like a bug to me - like the computer thinks it is only a 1 game match - so once 8 games were complete, it calculated the win/lose.

... which worked in the first team tournament (Backgammon) since it was only a 1 game match, and not 2 games like the new 5 in line team tournament. :-)

Congratulations to all you water people. And, congratulations to cariad for winning her bout with our BB.

oh yeah, i knew there had to be a reason, but it is for a good cause. Even with them, nothing can really change the outcome in that section of the tournament.
