WellyWales:  Thanks.  I fixed it.  Usually I check those things  ;)

coan.net:  OK  :)  Likely if starting early caused problems for people in the tourney already I'll stay with the deadline already set.   ;)

Hurry Up Hyper

1 day no vacations  ;)

 Frog Finder! Thanksgiving Bash Rook Prize Tourney

71 players so far.  May start when we hit 100.  ;)

rod03801:  I just figured it out:  It's not working.    Actually I tried a couple of idea but each time - nothing.  

rod03801:  I didn't think I was right on that.  It's very odd.  I just checked another running invite only tourney that I'm not in and I can see the charts on that one.  Very strange.  

rod03801:  It's a private "invite only" tourney so maybe that's why.  Unless your in the tourney.  Then I'm guessing you should be able to read it.  But I'm just guessing  :)

"Snoopy": Only one more needed for Loop Chess ;)

coan.net:  Ahhh.  That's good to know.  I just checked by setting up a test tourney and it did give me the option of making all the positions the same random configuration or making each game different.  So I can assume that either selection will result in the same kind of tourney:  a different random position for each game. 

trohat:  I've sent Fencer a note just to be sure.  Thanks for pointing it out. ;)

trohat:  I hadn't even thought of that.  I just went with the default settings except for the time and vacations.  But BBW is probably right that the positions will all be different random configurations.

"Snoopy":  wooooo hooo!   ;)

When running a tourney, which games offer more even chances for the most people? For example, if one were to run a prize tourney, chess would eliminate a lot of people (as would games like Pente etc) because of its highly skilled aspects. Games like Dice chess offer a bit more equality but perhaps are too much on the chance end of it. What do others think?

"Snoopy": 

I deleted the other backgammon tourney becuase for some reason it
turned out to be with no time controls!  ;)  Here's the new one:



3 days no days off and no vacations - Backgammon

"Snoopy":  it's gonna be a slug-fest!    

Tournament: Rated Mancala first 4 then we start ;) (Mancala)

Your tournament is finished.
Winner of the tournament: Tigger

baddessi:  It is my honor to win it too!  ;)

baddessi:  Thank you  :) 

rednaz23:  "It is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points"

They did not have the same number of points.  The winner had 9 points.  Pauloaguia had 8 1/2.  

Rose:  That's true.  Money for prize tourney's should show up right away or they shouldn't be posted.  IMO  I've run 4 prize tourneys and people have the right to expect the tourney $$ to be there sooner rather than later.  

Rose: Apparently the rules have been ammended.

coan.net:  good point.   It's not fair to the 70 people that joined since they likely joined because of the stated prize and terms of the tourney.  

baddessi: 

Thanks  :)

America is #1:  Maybe you could also change the description of this tourney as well.

"Snoopy":  I'm in the dice chess, darn ya  :)

"Snoopy":  No, I'm addicted and I had to join it  :)

"Snoopy":   Stop It! 

MadMonkey:  I see that.  Maybe some people are just being Lazy about signing up.  I hope they don't wait until the Last minute because they might miss the deadline and be too Late to join.  That's no Laughing matter! 

Later dude!

furbster: 

MadMonkey:  I like your thinking!  ;)

MadMonkey:  I go back to work on Tuesday  :)  Then I'll be busy again.

;)

I'm going to be running a Rook Prize Tourney in the fellowship, Friendly Faces. 
I want to give any of you that aren't members there a chance to join
the fellowship so you can also be in the tourney if you're interested.  ;)  Welcome one and
all.  ;)

The
game will be Ludo.  I picked that so that it will even the playing
field so more people have chances of winning.  It will be a 5 day
tourney. 

emmett:  three more now ;)

MadMonkey: Thanks  ;)

How do I go about challenging another team to a match?  ;)

I've zapped a few posts on this board as well.  In fairness, I zapped all posts that were related to the thread and did not take into account the poster.  I'm blaming no one.  Just saying that the posts were in violation of the UA and they needed to go.  ;)  As I said on GC, I'll repeat here:

The purpose of this post is to let folks know of my actions.  If anyone
has an issue with what I've done in my capacity as a moderator of this
board, please PM me and I'll be glad to explain my actions to you. 
Also, if you think I missed a post, PM me.  Some posts that were left
will not have proper context so I'll leave it up to the original
authors to deal with those.  ;)
