Yea, it's just how Fencer has it programed - to make it easy, it just looks for 5 free game slots for "1 game per 2 players", and 10 free game slots for "2 games per 2 players" .... even if more or less game slots are needed.

(So a pawn may have 10 free game slots, start a tournament and add 14 games bringing the total to 24 games, which they would then need to get the total back down below 20 before starting any new after that.)

Субъект: Re: Re:

pauloaguia: I did a search and found a previous post by BBW:

"For the 2 games per 2 players, players will need 10 slots open. Even if a player starts 6 or 8 games, they will still need 10 games slots open."

Субъект: Pawns and tournaments... again

I've seen lots of tournaments where the tournament creator states that pawns and knight must have 10 available slots to enter the tournamente. However some of those have a maximum of 8 players per section with 2 games between each player, giving a maximum of 14 possible games on one section for each player.

So how many free slots does a pawn really need to enroll in such tournaments?

Субъект: Beginners Tablut (Series of Tournaments)

Interested in playing Tablut? Sign up for my beginners Tablut series of tournaments for players with 1500 BKR or less (unrated is allowed).

There are 10 tournaments in all, starting each week for the next 9 weeks (the first tournament started last Monday) and the winners of each one will be invited to a final Beginners Tablut event which will start at the end of tournament #10.

If the same person wins two events, the place in the final will be awarded to the runner up of the later tournament.

There is no physical prize, other than the reward for playing such a great game and the chance to win a tournament against other new (or poor, or both!) players.

When I have prize tourneys, I say if I win, I'll give the prize to the second place winner. Not that I've ever won one of my own tourneys

20. Апреля 2005, 23:49:00

Субъект: Re:

Jason: I kind of agree with you but I don't want any contention. I have removed myself from playing in any of the games.

20. Апреля 2005, 23:46:58

Jason

well you should be able to stay in your own tournament clay , alot of the prize tournaments that has had a prize of somesort has also had the creators in them ... if you won one of them you could always donate it to a good cause

20. Апреля 2005, 23:43:53

19. Апреля 2005, 22:24:25

I think your right! It says Maximum 8 for each section so I guess one section can be short that number.

This is my first tourney and have already made several mistakes! Just trying to head off goof ups!

Субъект: balance teams

The computer works that out for you surely?

19. Апреля 2005, 21:49:45

What is the highest number of players in a tournament as a rule?

What is the most ever?

What do you do if the right number doesnt sign up to balance the teams?

Субъект: ITS A NEW DAY

Play Backgammon, Hyper-Backgammon, Battleboats and Five-in-Line!!!! Prize of $50 USD to each tournament winner. Funds will be held by BrainKing and paid to winners at the end of the tournament. This change was made due to the difficulty in managing the funds for the MILIION DOLLAR PRIZE and felt a one-time PRIZE of $50 USD is in the best interest of the tournament! What a GREAT opportunity! Let's PLAY GAMESSSSSSS!!!!!

Congratulations to Billmo8 for winning the second section of my tourney - well played sir. I did so poorly in that variation that I can only sleep at night knowing I was beaten by the winner... congrats on winning Pente and more Pente - and then some more - Pente

Субъект: Re:

ClayNashvilleTn: Why dont you creat a tournament where the prize is a book, as i saw someone had (Harley i think). I doubt that you need to send the books to Fencer. Then you can put a dollarbill in the book and no more "noise" is needed

Субъект: Re:

ClayNashvilleTn: Fencer. He has always insisted that any prize tournament is guaranteed and paid in full upfront before it starts. It's nothing to do with GM's.

18. Апреля 2005, 13:50:07

Who approves tourneys and the Prizes? Is Fencer the only one or are the GM's?
