Hi, to 'The Best and The Fast Backgammon Players',
This is an opportunity, check your weight against to other best and fast backgammon players if you inside the top 10% any type of Backgammon Games.
Don't be afraid of endless games and tournaments! If you don't like to join to the Backammon Tournaments without end (related with the move time of the tournament or players), our games finish before the next month tournament generally.
We choosed publicly announce this Traditional but popular Tournaments here, in the tournaments discussion and some fellowship groups to all the best and fast players who are inside the top 10% of any type Backgammon Games.
Inside the top 10% any type Backgammon player (Back, Nack, Crowded, Race, Hyper, Anti, Cloning Backgammon, Grasshopper, Plakoto, Fevga), is eligible to join to all other games in this Tournaments before the begin time. October 26th, 2009).
To check where you are in the ratings click to the related links:
Others, outside of top 10% players, will be deleted before the tournaments begin without excuse...

Please click to the Tournament addresse and 'feel free to join to any type of Gammon Games'. You are eligible to join, to all Gammon games without restriction, only if you inside of top 10% in any Gammon Games';(for now we have only ten types of Gammon games).
The icons might vary depending on the type of game won or the cup image could include the icon. There could be a different icon for each group of games.
Achievements related to Brainking-wide tournaments could be added.
talen314: I like that idea. To build on it a little:
Maybe starting in January 2010 - have a tournament of 1 game time (Backgammon, most popular) - then each month start a new one of the next most popular game. (so by October we will be through the top 10 games.)
I would like to see a simi-shorter time limit of maybe 2 days, 12 hours - but with standard vacations. (Maybe just a standard 3 days?)
I would also like to see the games not count towards a users game/tournament limit, so it would be open to ALL pawns & knights no matter if they have "free" game slots.
And like you mention, don't even really have to offer a prize, but maybe a special icon or something, like a "brainking cup" like you mentioned.
I would like to see Brainking Championships, at least for the most played games, sponsored by Brainking itself which might attract more widespread entry by players. Perhaps a "Brainking Cup" icon or something similar could be made that would appear on the players page attesting to the player's victory in a championship tournament.
Subiectul: Re: Ties in final round of single elimination
troydaniels: From what i can see the Tournament is a Single Elimination, so only ONE game will be played win, lose or draw. In the event of a draw the player with the lower BKR is classed as the winner
Subiectul: Ties in final round of single elimination
I just finished a single elimination tournament (http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=510738), where the game in the final round was a tie. I received a message saying that I finished second and looking at the tournament page, the other player is listed as a the winner. Is there some reason that we didn't both win or play a second game?
I'm pretty sure the tournament was a fellowship tournament, so the link might not work for everyone.
Chaos: Well I haven't done that for awhile (SO PLEASE - Anyone feel free to correct me.)
But I believe in the process of paying for the membership, there was an option to do it automaticly or manually (manually is where Fencer would look at it and apply it.)
If you do it manually & then in the notes of the membership let it be known what your wishes are (AKA: Prize for this tournament: XXXXXXXX with link or tournament #), then Fencer can process the payment manually and apply it towards the tournament.
Again, maybe there is a different way? It's been awhile, and the last time I purchased something was using PayPal - not sure if the new methods are different or not.
Hi all, I am creating a prize tournament (no entrance fee), and it says <span>The prize for this tournament has not been provided yet. It won't be started.</font> How can I do this? If I go to paid membership I can only pay for a membership for myself.
With the holiday season and all its rapid pace, I just want to take a little time and wish all good luck and good Pente. Brf, I'm trying to set aside some time to get down to Oregon and would love to meet you and try some homebrew and a little real board gaming.
Hi BabyGirlle! Thanks for the reply.... i did go to edit, the only thing that lets me edit is the tourney description. Start immediately option is no where to be found.
Whats more strange is, those 2 tourneys were create at the very same time with the "start immediately when max is reached". I can't figure out why the first one started properly but not the second! Its not like i created them at 2 separate times....
