alexlee: Thank you for joining, however, there are not enough slots open for you to be able to play in the team tournaments( you have too many games going right now)

Doris:
I joined the team

There is only a few hours until the Dice Chess Tournaments start and we need 1 more player in order to enter. If you can help us out here is the link to the Dice Chess Team @ Brians Pub Brian's 1971 Pub

Brians Pub needs 2 players for the Dice Chess Team.  If you are not already in a team that is scheduled to play and would like to play in the Site Team Tournaments, join our team @ Brians Pub.  

Backgammon players, team tourney gammon players needed. Tourny starts in a week.
The International Friendship Club

Aganju: I would say it is because Gabriel Almeida is already in a Backgammon Team Tourny for the Untouchables.....
Here - Happy Groundhog Day 2017! (Backgammon) XXII

As the result of that tourny is already sorted, i wuold say if you message Fencer he will let Gabriel enter the new one, though only Fencer has the power to solve the issue

Aganju: The knight may not have enough slots open to play.

Aganju: i would suggest to try through the contact form. usually fencer solves very quickly such issues since the requirements are covered, after you checked.

MadMonkey: For some reason, we cannot sign up for the Backgammon team Tournament (Knights); it says: "Your team does not have enough players eligible to play team tournaments (Brain Knight or higher level)." which is untrue - we have six players, five rooks and one Knight.
Any idea, anyone?

Brfs 11th Annual St. Pat's Pente Tourney

THERE'S ONLY 20 HOURS LEFT TO SIGN UP!

I don't know how much longer we can do this with the uncertainty of brainking's future but I'm going ahead and doing it for 2017 while we can. I've only allowed a tight 48 hour signup window for this "11th annual" so whomever signs up by midnight 3/17/17 will be able to participate. please join in for one more installment of the "Brfs St Patricks Day Pente Tournament"

This years St Pat's Tourney has the best settings based on 10 years of tweaks for speed while ensuring a solid challenge to all players.

As usual this is a prize tournament with 1 year Brain Rook awarded to the winner. The section size has been set at 6 people per section, so pawns will need to have 10 open game slots at start time (or risk being auto-removed)! Time limits are set at 1 day 9hrs per move with vacation allowed.....anything more and we risk whatever uncertainty the websites future may have. I don't want that, and ideally I'd like the winner to be able to use the prize.

With the use of a tight 48hr signup window, we should get a relatively small tournament this year which also should help speed things along.

My thanks to all of you who continue to sign up for this tournament every year, I can't believe we're already on the 11th one! Do you feel you have the Pente luck of the Irish this year? well sign up and see how far you can battle your way through the grids! On St.Patricks Day (March 17, 2017) the tourney begins!

Good luck to all players!

Thank you!

1500 or less

Made a mistake the first time and forgot to limit the rating so i deleted and started again.

furbster: Yes and that was what made me cross. Also both parties could have been courteous and made me aware of the problem before ending the game. I most likely would have resign the game to save time. But I am never sure if you resign a game in a tournament if you end the match.
