Honestly, I don't see much difference between buying brain and buying pocker/roullete chips.

You use both of them to play and get back then back if you win. Later on, you exchange them back to money/service.

On BK:
memberhips = money
brains = money

So membership is money valued service which and since you use brains to purchase something brains can be considered as money
and then you can go to another discussion of gambling.

So I don't think using brains as an entry fee completely eliminates possibility for gambling opportunities.
It depends on country and lawyers opinion. In addition, good lawyer can convince the jury ...
So why not just have is as before: give membership as a prize?
Comments are more then welcome :)

Thad: So I just have to ask a tournament creater, right?

Is it possible to start a tournament if the maximum number of player is reached or it will start on the start date?

GEMINI J: I guess this is the way it works... comments anybody, Fencer?

Fencer: I didn't know that red wine helps to think, LOL :) how many bottles will do the job? LOL!

does anybody knows what is a biggest tournament (per game) on BK?

JamesHird: I'm not a paying member and never paid.

Niki, OptimistMB: Before BK2 fencer release me from tournament, the last time he suggested to upgrade my membership :) may be OptimistMB will have better luck :)))

Bry: I'm just curios why to create tournaments is somebody can do it :-) ... just being lazy is sometimes good :) and for unlimited games you need unlimited time and it's only 24 hours a day :) (sorry if it's off topic)

If tournament is only for one Membership level and player which is already subscribed change the level, will that play able to play in that tournament or will be removed before start?
example: http://brainking.com/game/Tournaments?trg=6627&tri=24704&trnst=0

if Maximum number of players per section is 5 and total players signed is 15, how players get placed in the groups? Is there any rule?
Is there way to know who will be in your group?

How many free slots I have to have for a second round in a tournament when there is 1 winner in section 1 and 2 winners in section 2.
