srnity: yeah, I do too, I like this feature, I just wanted to make sure i understand it correctly?

All games of this tournament are generated with enabled autopass feature (in game types where the autopass can be used)


Okay, so we can create a tournament where autopass is a forced option for anyone who participates, even if they have it turned off in their settings?

TheONLYPegasus: The way it is set, there will be a winner of each game!

TheONLYPegasus: Yes, there is a place to have it processed manually and to add a note as well, where you can tell them to do what you want done.

rednaz23: Just a guess, but I think you just buy a membership with the brains and tell fencer to save it for the winner of your tournament....

Does this seem to make any sense?

We both lost one game, I lost to the highest rated player that i played and they lost to the lowest rated player they played, does it work justly?

Okay, I had the last one set wrong, this is a backgammon with cube for 5 points per match...

2200 plus 5 point cube

For Anyone With 10+ Pond wins only!

Anyone with 10 or more wins in run around the pond game only please!

Kunoichi's Strange Test Pond...

we just need 3 more players to start it!

MidnightMcMedic: I was under the impression that feature requests or discussions about something that has its own board IE 'tournaments' or 'backgammon' should be brought to that board and not to the 'general' feature requests?

Eriisa: okay, its filled!

CRY ME A RIVER: set one up again, and announce it on brainking board or somewhere mor epeople look at...

tiv noi: I wanna play a live backgammon tonight, but your link isnt very helpful!

I more person needed to start this one

Antje: Ahhh... thanks!

Here is a tournament where she says its for 2100 plus only but she signs up herself with a 1200 bkr!!! A fraud and a joke!

Race For The Gold Backgammon 2100+ 8 Players

Im sure this must have been discussed before, but it would be nice if when we search for tournaments to play, that we not be shown ones that we are not eligable to play in? I mean, why should a private tournament show up in a search? And why do we have to go through 3 steps before we find out we are not eligable?

Eriisa: My point is that this "second place person" will only be someone who is "lucky" enough to not be in the same section with Bumble until the last round..... anyway, if it hurts people to much to discuss this, then I will stop, I was only trying to help understand what we are doing here.

MsDelete: If everyone in this section resigns, then Bumble will go to the next round, then if everyone in that round resigns, he wins again and so on, is this how we want this to go?

On another related note... I would like to see his BKR's reinstated to the level before any games that were timed out. Seeing him with a 1500 backgammon bkr just doesnt seem right.

Ah... so I am confused! The tournament set up for Bumbnle by Cariad was done apon his return and he had signed up? I didnt hear about it untli later and when I signed up there were already over a hundred people and I thought that was why, I didnt realize he was in that one, I thought there was one he was not in, sorry!

Am I the only one confused?
There is a tournament for Bumble with a 6 month membership, and a tournament with Bumble in it?
It is only the tournament with Bumble in it that people in his section are resigning, obviously? Its true at some point Bumble will win this tournament if everyone resigns all their games with him. I a sure if this happens, fencer will do something good with this money, perhaps another tournament in his honor? But it is also likely that some will not resign their games with him, and it is likeley that someone other than Bumble will end up winning this tournament. Anyway it works out, no big deal, those who resigned should not really care if they lose...

I need 3 more spider line 4 players...

This says it is a random tournament but it is really only for spider line 4, 2 games wins match, under 2000 bkr, single elimination.

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=13892&tri=87703&trnst=0

furbster: I think you should be able to have a random tournament for all lines games, for example, and exclude anyone with over a 2000bkr, for example....

furbster: So when you do a random tournament with several different games and a BKR limit, then the bkr limit would be required for all the games included, I guess?

For example if I am over 2000 bkr in one line game and under in all other line games and I want a random tournament for all lines games for under 2000 bkr, then I would not be eligaBLE TO PLAY IN ANY OF THE GAMES?

Mr. Shumway: So the tournament I set up is not even for spider line 4?

Does random mean you dont know what game you are going to play?

furbster: My bad... I hadnt really thought it out, and my first reaction was that random meant that the draw for who you are going to play is a random draw, I guess i was wrong!

Spider Line 4 under 2000 bkr single elimination random generated 2 games wins match 2 day moves first 8 people starts it!

I was just looking at a brain tournament...

150 brains to enter, and you have to get 2nd place to win your 150 brains back.

Plus 30% of the brains entry fee doesnt go back into the prize pool?????

Can someone tell me what sense these brain tournaments make? Am I missing something here? I mean especially in non luck games where anyone is free to use a program, that makes them even less sense to me?

Sider line 4 first 8 to sign, two games each, under 2000 rating.

BIG BAD WOLF: Yeah.. I have never understood why there would be an option to make a tournament where someone has to be over a certain bkr, yetr still allow unrated players in, especially as a default setup?

Anyway... I think you have it correct BBW

THE HIT MAN: doesnt seem right....

Bry: Great advice Bry!

Pedro Martínez: My point exactly.... too much on his plate. Seems he cares more about being a glob and playing on these boards than the tournaments he has committed to. Maybe his upcoming vacation will help clear his head? When are you going to be gone BBW? I dont think you actually said that?

Pedro Martínez: I agree... There is something wrong when you are the last to finish games in many different tournaments. We have gone through this before, and yes you have the right to play as slow as the limits allow, but why would you want to, and why so consistantly?

This being a GAME site, I think games should be the priority. Why one would volunteer to do such a time consuming, non game playing job as a Global Moderator when they clearly dont even have enough time to play their games in a respectful manner is beyond me? This goes back to another debate I have had before.... Moderators and Globs, including BBW have gone on record that they do these jobs as a favor to the site and there is no ego involved. But how are you doing a favor to the site by distracting your time to the point where you lag in your games? Its funny that BBW never worried about too many pond games until he happened to hit the number one ranking.

BBW, you are an intelligent man, why does it take you years of playing 500 or 600 games at once to realize that is too many for you? Or why did it take you months of playing 50+ pond games only to realize this was too many, and coincidently, it happened to be the same time you hit the highest ranking? No ego????? If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck.....

Bry:

Hrqls: I want your life.... taking 2, 21+ day holidays/year! I am lucky to get 5 days together. And rarely am I lucky enough to be somewhere where I cant get internet access to play one move in a backgammon game.

Bry: Does anyone "really" need 21 days to play amove in backgammon? I mean, really? I think you are only encouraging someone to join just to play head games and see how long they can drag the tournament out.....

Bry: Ah, no vacation, that helps some, but its not really a championship without all the best players :) I understand that it doesnt really matter how long it takes, but it is just too frustrating when 1 or 2 people take the full limits to make a move, and its just not worth it.

Bry: Why 21 days? Way too long!

TarantinoFan: There are now tournaments that are set up without those annoying vacation days, and even possible for total time for the whole game.... so as a pawn with limited games and tournaments, I would suggest you only play in tournaments set up like those, or buy a membership :)

OK, so no one has to worry about being up all night... I made i a one section tournament only, so there will not be 2 sections. This is meant to be a fast tourney, so lets get it on!

BIG BAD WOLF: Oh! Thanks BBW.....
NOw I dont know what to do... maybe I will amke the sections bigger, can I change that anytime I want to?
