3 days left until the KM Backgammon Open deadline. 46 so far will be participating in this Backgammon super splash and all comers are welcome so I urge you to join the fun. :o)

Before the Gothic Chess Prize Tournament (the $250 one) it was completely random. Now, i think it does someting like this:

The highest rated player is put into section 1.
The next highest rated player into section 2.
etc, etc (as many sections as there are)

I'm not sure if it keeps going like that to fill all the spots, or if it's random at some point, but if you look at some recent tournaments, you'll notice the highest rated players are generally at the top of the section, and the lower rated players are at the bottom.

There is about a week left to sign up for the second "All games for dummies" - which is for players rated under 1500, and unrated players.... as long as the unrated players are not "too good".

This is the perfect tournament to try new & different games. You can play without too much worry about being "killed" right away by an expert player.

Tournament: SIGN UP HERE

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

I have a tourney for all that are interested :)

all games listed for all that want to play. minimum of 4 players....the tourney name is We're Off And Running.

Hope to see a big turn out for lots of fun!!

have a great day!! :)

Thanks, I wasn't sure how it would set the sections up. I guess you didn't know how the players would be assigned per section?

Any pawns wanting the chance of a membership, then enter my backgammon prize tourney.
It starts on 20th September, so please come and join up :)

unacanta: Minimum numbers of players is how many you need to start the tournament, which you have 6.
You have not got a maximum for the tounament only for each section.
The way is stands as the moment it should create 2 sections of 3 players :)

I have the following limits in a invite only tournament.
Minimum number of players: 4
Maximum number of players: unlimited
Maximum number of players per section: 5

Currently there are 6 people signed.
What happens to the odd number if the minimum of 4 is not met for two sections?
Also how does the tourney-bot sort who plays in what section? Is it by rating or some other form of black magic??? LOL

Here is the tourney addy:

on winning the ArtfulDodger Backgammon tourney!

I reported that the KM Backgammon Open would be closed on the 17th (that was yesterday), then went to close it and discovered what I've always suspected: I'd lose my nose if it wasn't attached!!! The tournament is STILL open for seating and closes on Aug 27. So far we have 40 signed up which means it's gonna be exciting. Please join us if Backgammon is your game or if you are impulsive. lol. TNP

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for this Super Bowl of checker tournaments. It's your chance to play the finest players on Brain King. Anyone can win but at the very least you stand to learn something about this great game.

Thank you for the information. I'm new here and didn't know you could only enter one tournie at a time..Thanks again..

Starts in 2 days and we have 2 openings. Strap on your helmets for we have the best checker players on the site ready to go. There is no restriction on who can play but there are 7 players entered rated above 2000. Message me for an invite.

The games from the Battleboats #7 - you have already played all the games from that tournament - and currently there is 1 game left in that section (both players looking for last boat) - and once that last game is done in the section, you are allowed to enter a new tournament.

If you do not want to wait for that last battleboat game to be complete, you can send a nice message to Fencer and ask him to allow you to enter your next tournament since you have finished all the games in the Battleboat #7 tournament.

Hope this helps!

I did not sign up for the #7 battleboat tourny. I tried to sign up for a backgammon tourney and it won't let me..

Deadline is August 17, just two days away! We have 38 participants so far which already makes a whopping good tournament but late-comers are welcome so please sign up if you get the urge. TNP

I've created (again) the second tournament for players rated BELOW 1500 and for unrated players (as long as you are not too good at a game.)

Who is this tournament for?

1. Is there a game you would like to learn - and don't want to get "killed" by the expert game players - this tournament is for you!

2. Is there a another game you like, but again do not want to get beat really bad by the great players - this tournament is for you!

If you are interested - SIGN UP HERE!

Tournament will start at the end of the month (August 2003)

Thanks again Fencer

I've just started the second round.

The Spring 2003 open Pente-Keryo Pente championship (Pente),its finished in all sections, but Gary Barnes didnt login since 2aug, Fencer can you help to continue teh tournament??

Please read Server News.

babken: As you can read from some of the other messages, tournaments that started yesterday have been "rolled" back.

You are still signed up for the tournament, and once the creator of the tournament is back on-line, the tournament will probable be restarted.

(What do you have to do: just wait!) :-)

ok thx...im still signed up

I'm playing on open bg championship No.5,unfortunately I can't see them on the main page,please let me know,what I must do.

Yea, Currently #38 of my "Fast start Backgammon" tournament is up now - and I know I was at least at 40... if not #41 yesterday... :-) Plus all my posts are gone, etc.... :-(

I re-started the KM Battleboat tournament because it was put back too.

It seems that Brainking had to be restored from an old backup, and now the tournament is back in the "tournament list" waiting for people to sign up!

I'm going to wait until Fencer is on to make sure this is how it is going to stay - and I will start the tournament again I guess?????

(So you may want to go and make sure you are still signed up for the tournament - hopefully I'll start it within 24 hours)

BBW (BIG BAD WOLF)

Can someone tell me if bbw deleted his battleboats3 tournament?

HURRY!!!! Have FUN in the SPIDERS WEB TOURNY!!! Starts Tues 12th August..all welcome!! :)

One week away from the Big Bash! 35 have already signed up and this promises to be a Killer of a Backgammon tournament. Get a seat while you can. And remember to Take No Prisoners!

Also the game time limit was suspended for a while. If the 4 weeks he took to move occured during this time it would explain how it happened. Along with vacation days :o)

There wouldn't have been any "behind the scenes deals" going on. The person probably used his/her vacation days. All levels get some, the higher your membership though, the more you can use.

Damian: Done. Try to sign up.

My understanding Damian is that if you are technically OUT of this tournament then you can send a message to Fencer and he will enable you to join another one!

I could be mistaken, but it is worth a shot. i seem to remember reading it on a previous posting!!

My part in a K-P Tourney has been over for 5 weeks. Two players are left, and moving slowly. I am at the mercy of these players and can not join a tourney that is giving away a free 6 month membership open only to pawns without memberships.
AT the rate that single last game is going, I will miss the signup date of this new tourney, since I am prevented from joining it until the old tourney is over. Additionally, one -player was allowed for reasons beyond my understanding since no one explained it, to delay his move for 4 weeks despite the time to move being 6 days! So with all these behind the scenes deals going on, I will miss the signup deadline/time for this new tourey for Pawns only! How is this right?

are we done?????

drgnrdr for winning the ArtfulDodger's Backgammon Tourney U1800:) !!!

I don't like limiting ratings... I think everyone should play! :)

I'd go for that, Zucan. I've not played for ages. My rating is pretty low though, so I couldn't join if you set the rating too high!
