Lotus Flower: Sorry there's no limit.The only other way is post some games you like to play or enter in more tournament's:)) Also make sure they are no day's off :))
Lotus Flower:no restriction .. problem has been that many (or actually few ) players have stopped many many tourneis by abusing of vacation days .. now Fencer changed it so thise "smart" players i hope truly will lose all their games instead of having people resigned !!
IF I INVITE YOU AND TOURNEY WAS FULL PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE
SECOND ROUND : 10 GROUPS OF 8 PLAYERS( TAKEN 1 FROM EACH TOURNEY RANDOMLY FROM QUALIFIED )- SINGLE ELIMINATION LAST ROUND : 10 PLAYERS WINNERS WILL PLAY A ROUND ROBIN
*** SECOND AND LAST ROUND MIGHT CHANGE (MIGHT BE RAISED TO 11 OR 12 PLAYERS IN LAST ROUND
I WILL CREATE AN EXTRA TOURNEY (for all pawns that are stucked in tourneis and thanks to Fencer they all will be released so can play other tourney ) HAVE SO 80 PLAYERS QUALIFY FOR SECOND ROUND
FrancescoLR: a few pawns have signed up for my upcomming one which is the same rules has Gerry's and mine states quite clearly the rules so i dont think that is the case i think they see a chance of winning one tournament and arnt that bothered about the prize
FrancescoLR: If they finished all there games in any tournament.ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS MESSAGE FENCER & he will remove them so they can play in another one:))
"GERRY":because you DO NOT invite them .. i have sent over 3000 invites .. and over 300 send me messages back and Fencer knows it ..about pawns stucked .. yours is open tourney .. i have to send invitations and so pple explain me whats going on even in other languages ...
Pedro Martínez, FrancescoLR: I understood what Gerry want say, but i'm not sure (and Francesco too) if all pawns understood the goal of the tournament. Besides, i had some questions about the goal of the tournament at the beginning and sent a message for Gerry to explain me. :)
Undertaker.:believe me .. if i was a pawn is logic that i would have signed for a tourney where there is a prize ... i am sure the pawns who signed didnt understand how it works .. and you can see that their english is not strong by the country where they from :)
FrancescoLR: I think Gerry i's trying to say that those pawn's don't care about the prize and they would have signed up for the tourney even if there was no prize at all.
FrancescoLR: I think the point is know if paws understood which is the goal of that tournament. If they dream win prize so they are mistaken, but if they only want play a simple chess tournament or other type of game, so i don't see problem.
"GERRY":ok then explain me and the pawns that are playing in this tourney what">http://brainking.com/it/Tournaments?trg=33208&tri=422106&trnst=2 what chances have they to win the prizes .... i know they have 0 % chance to win and they could have partecipate in other tourneis with at least a small chance to win .... same is with all tourneis of that one ... i am telling you because i looked at all team tourneis that are still on from very longtime (open to public or inside fellwoships), i looked at all the team tourneis still on and to all the tourneis with prizes .. since i am inviting pawns i had feedback of over 200 that said are stucked and cannot sign ... in that case those pawns in that tourney for exemple i will ask Fencer to release them .. is logic because they CANNOT win there ...
FrancescoLR: It's not the prize.It's the tournament win i think they are trying to win.Plus the other fact is the player's in my tournament's play there games & do not hold player's up:)))
"GERRY":yes true but explain them what is the deal .. i am sure many panws do not understand the fact that whoever has most wins ( IN ALL GAMES ) will win the prize ...
Clandestine 1: I was thinking yes, the clock would continue to count down (even in the negative), but the time out job should have been turned off for 24 hours, meaning even if it was in the negative, you should have been able to make a move before the time-out process was turned back on.
.... At least that is how I would think it would work.
This is true for tournaments that allow for vacation, but trust me on this one, I just lost a game in the finals that I was going to clearly win due to my Fischer clock continuing to count down when the time-out process was turned off. By the time I was able to move, my clock was in the negatives.
Lotus Flower: No Days Off - Basically means no vacation days or weekend days will be used.
Clandestine 1: Not all the time - if the server goes down for more then 1 hour (I think it is 1 hour), then when it comes back up the site will turn off the time out process for 24 hours to make sure everyone can get back on to make their move.
However, with clocks such as these and the Fischer clocks, they continue to run when the server goes down. So, if you don't get a chance to move due to the site be down - you lose your game!
Lotus Flower: you have 7 days to make your move and then whoever your playing also has 7 days then when you get the game back you will have another 7 days etc etc
"GERRY":do not let pawn join your prize tourney... you wasting their time and their chances to win something by playing other tourneis .. your tourney is made that who has most wins wins the prize but pawns can sign ONLY for 1 tourney so is unfair because they can't never ever win .. so if you do tourney with prizes as brain do not let pawns join unless you change format .. at least 20 pawns are stucked in your brain tourney with 0 % chance to win something ...

MAYBE I WILL CREATE AN EXTRA TOURNEY AND HAVE SO 80 PLAYERS QUALIFY FOR SECOND ROUND THEN SPLIT THEM IN 10 GROUPS OF 8 PLAYERS AND WINNERS WILL PLAY FINAL ROUND
Snoopy: Just so things are clear, is it who wins the most games - or who wins the most game types.
For example - in a popular game like Backgammon, you might win 30 games and still lose that section to someone else.
In less popular games, there might be fewer players, so winning 10 games wins that section.
So it might end up that someone wins 100 games that are in the tournament, but never win a section - and someone else might win 5 different game sections, but only win 80 games total in the tournament.
*** I'm not trying to be a pain - just better to think of these things now rather then later. ***
Artful Dodger: the prize is awarded to who ever wins the most parts of the 128 games you dont have to sign for all but the more you sign for the better your chance of winning
i wanted to do something different getting a lil boring just having one game prize tournaments
Artful Dodger: Well, it doesn't seem to be a requirement that you sign up for each game. But yeah, to have a chance, I imagine you would have to sign up for quite a few. The ones that you think you have the most chance of winning, I imagine.
