Thanks I'll take a look.

Necromancer, just click on Tournaments on the left side. then just scroll down tell you find the kind of tourney you want to play in. But as a pawn member you can only play in 1 tourney at a time...

Can I sign up for a tournament? I like backgammon and checkers pretty good but I don't know to get in a tournament.

come one and all and join me in a birthday celenraion!!! In honor of my birthday i have created Princess' Pente Party.

I was once a web tv user.. and was having so many problems as well.. When I bought a new box.. it seemed to go away.. I don't exactly know the techincal term.. but, it has something to do with the users digits!!

:) Go get a new box..

I'm new to this board...but NOT new to the accusations of "winning because I am a member". My hubby's comment (who is also a member) to this is he looses all the time lol! : ) We think it would take a VERY gifted programer to work it out so that only members win! Geez!!!! In gammon games it's always a little luck and the roll of the dice...good luck to all! And stop whining if you lose a game!!

LOL Whisperz! Ohhh yeah!! I knew there must be a reason!

LMAO Bumble *eyes watering* Ouch!

In honor of the KM fellowship's "adopt a pawn" program,the winner recieves a 1 year rook membership to BrainKing.com.If the winner is already a paid member,they may sponser a pawn,to become a member.Have fun,and pawns please remember to leave enough openings for the tournament. :)

LMAO @ bumble

I would like to congratulate Whisperz to even dare to use the words 'harley' and 'splits' in the same sentence.

Harley ... you and me both are on the "low doubles" and "difficult splits" lists ... didn't you get Fencer's PM (j/k) W:)

zuggie, private messages are really unnecessary thankyou.. especially in order to tell me that as a paid member I am a cheater.

Just curious, Zuggie. What do you suppose happens when two paid members play? That could throw a spanner in the works.
And you've won loads of gammon games, your rating is way higher than mine. I really don't see how you come to that conclusion.

I would like to invite all Pawns to join in my Pawns Only Tourney newly creatd. It is located on the main tournament list...GOOD LUCK!!

That is the silliest thing I've ever heard Zuggie. You have whined about this before on another discussion board.
It's very paranoid of you.
If you truely believe that silliness, WHY bother playing here?

:o{P``````

does anybody that's answered here know where the dice are generated from and who's in control of that part of the site...is it in a vault or locked box so there's no tampering...????....i'll bet it sits right next to some fatass in his recliner along with a bowl of popcorn and he gets a big giggle and a jerk out of what he gives for dice to non-payers and then all you people stick up for him....maybe we should give bin laden a medal for his bravery in causing the towers to collaspe too....or maybe that was my imagination too...maybe all those people just went for a big joyride into the towers..if the dice generators not in a locked vault of some kind where nobody can get to it then it's near busy hands that have favorites they like to win.....or maybe just unfavorites they like to see lose..

IF not more right harl? lol

Thats not true at all, zuggie. I play backgammon and the variants a lot and I lose just as much as I win.

Zug i dont play the game much, dont care about the dice and I gotta tell you if you honestly believe paying members get better dice well then you are , er , ah... sadly mistaken for a nicer way of putting it

Zuggie I'm on webtv and they don't do to well for me.I'm a paying member.

i'm on webtv so all that crap is moot to me...i know the dice change and i know paying players get better dice. i guess when your the one getting the good dice it blinds you to what your opponets getting....or maybe you know but don't want the secret to get out....the dice are fixed here for paying players!

I sent zuggie a personal message, but I'll share in here also.

When I first joined this site, I would have 5-6 different windows up, each with a different type of game (Backgammon, nackgammon, etc...) - And I seen where the dice images loaded wrong all the time. (Since all the game games looked at the same parameter or something - Fencer could explain). The solution I found that works is to only have 1 gammon game up at a time - and since then I have not see the dice "change" on me at all.

I know at one time Fencer said he could fix the problem, but I'm not sure if he ever did....

Of course members pay to have the dice roll in their favour! just one added bonus to being a member! (Where do people come up with this stuff???) LMAO!

zuggie, pawns and knights cannot start new tournaments.. privilege of the rook status :-)

Ah, but having just read your profile.. that's not quite what you meant, was it.. bit of a poor loser, eh ? :)

can a pawn player start a tourney for just pawn players...or would that confuse the dice roller too much.....no members to make win

yes, I leave it at the same day, so that I can start it when it fills up. I usually left them open for a week though.

Eriisa did you just create this tourney today? Last day for sign ups is.. um today...

is there a site championship? eg in backgammon or chess? if there is what time of year does it start?

your welcome

Thank you Princess. :o)

Congratulations to Usurper KM for winning the checkers tournament associated with the We're Off and Running tournament...Great job.

Oh.. I didn't realize there were unfinished games, I thought when 2 players are marked with yellow that means those 2 will advance. Thanks for the info.

NoMeansNo: You have to wait for the last two unfinished games from Section 2.

Are we going to start Rnd 3 in the "Join Mine " PLEASE " I Joined Yours he he he (Five in Line)" tourney? I can't join another tourney until this one is over.. Thanks!
NoMeansNo

I didn't know Ronco was even running a Master's Checker Tournament.

Theres still time to sign up!
Lets Start over Loop Chess Tournament!
And as our good friend reddog78 KM mentioned..our friends with pawn status need to be sure theres room for the games! :)

For those of you that have checked out Ronco's Masters Checkers Tournament and found that your BKR Rating falls below the criteria, I've created this one just for you.
Everyone below the maximum BKR rating I've set is eligible to enter. Pawns: Be sure to leave enough room for games if you sign up.

What happens if round one is finished and round two never starts?? Is it eventually deleted?

Signups are now being accepted for this holiday tournament to be started in the middle of December.
Everyone is welcome to join. All pawns are asked to please be sure to leave enough slots open for your games if you do sign up.

There's a variant of Checkers for everyone to play.

Does that mean neither will be here then?
Good on you for supporting the prize :o)

I will supply the prize.

Thanks Fencer!!!!!

How can that be done when Dano cant come here any more to supply the prize??
My friend Steve R KM told me to say that if Dano isnt back by the end of tournament, then he will supply the prize membership, unless he is removed by then too. (he cant post to this board) But someone will have to let him know :o)

Started.
