I have just won my game with titeh and now am wondering how the next game starts? Will someone contact me? :-)

BossLady: It will automatically start in just a little bit.

MidnightMcMedic:

Dark Battleboats name of tourney GB 3 or G8 3 Everyone welcome

Way to to go sarok on an awesome final to win the reversi 8x8 in the q107 club members tournanament.

Mike.:o)

Hrqls: It shouldn't be a problem with random games. Wouldn't reseeding the players for the next round be easy enough to do? Or just leave it seeded as it was in the first round and continue the pairings based on the first round seeding?

small ambiguous
3 spots left

why this says run "http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=2060&tri=6803"
and i don t have games.and becose this i can t join any tourn..?

ustica tnp: Looks like a bug with that saying that it is still running - But that is not stopping you from joining anything else.

Pawns are limited to 1 tournament total, and you are still in many others which are still running.

BIG BAD WOLF: true. thank you Wolf.

Must be or you'd sign up for Amazing Grace #4 (by UGO) Dark Battleboats

as MysticRiver's membership will expire tomorrow, will the over 200 tournaments created by her be deleted? it would really enhance the tournament tip which now says Race For The Gold Backgammon 2100+ 8 Players (Backgammon) most of the time.

tiv noi: I removed the tourament tips because all that was ever coming up were her tournies as well. I hope they are all deleted. Are there still over a years worth that she set up?

tiv noi: Good idea, maybe I'll add a special rule to the tournament creation system.

Fencer:

Fencer: Thats such a good idea, it also irritates me a bit that i only ever see certain players tournements advertised all the time.

This game should be a draw.. a bug?

Retep: From rules: "Who loses all pieces including the king or cannot make a legal move, wins the game."
However, this question belongs to the Chess Variants 8x8 board.

all games small tournaments

How do I start a tournament

Harrold: First thing you need to do is become a brain rook. (see paid memberships). Then you can create a tourney.

Marfitalu: ok i play,paco ordoñez

This link here shows a pawn has created so many tournaments I keep seeing them on the main page

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trnst=0&u=15186

How do pawns create?

SafariGal: Pawns can not create tournaments.

Those tournaments were made by a rook, who had since let their membership drop down to a pawn.

BIG BAD WOLF: there are a lot of them, 3 pages I think still not started

SafariGal: yea, the person created A LOT of tournaments before their membership ran out - but they were all created when they were a rook before their membership ran out.

BIG BAD WOLF: in that case, if pawns are not eligible to create, maybe all his should be deleted? It seems the only tournaments advertised on the main page are his

SafariGal: I think Fencer was already thinking about doing this. Just don't think it is high on his list right now.

chessik is the Number "1", between 8 good players of the tournament 'Top 10% Faster Backgammoners for 2006-05 (Nackgammon)'

Top 10% Faster Backgammoners for 2006-05

Jim Dandy: LOL, I just wanted to post that result too.

gogul: I'm no expert when it comes to tabulating the SB results,but I was sure I'd come out on top.

Jim Dandy: First you look at how many games each person won (Each player won 3 total games = so each have 3 points)

Then to get the S-B, you add the points of the opponent the you won against.

(So player 1 won 3 games, each person had 3 points - so 3+3+3=9, which is the S-B)

Jim Dandy:
What does "S-B" column at tournament tables mean?

S-B is an abbreviation for Sonneborn-Berger system. It is used to specify an order of players with the same number of points and is based on a theory that points earned with a stronger opponent are more valuable than with a weaker one. The S-B value is a total sum of points of opponents who lost the tournament game with the player and half points of opponents who drawn the tournament game with the player. Only if two or more players have the same number of "normal" and S-B points, they share the same final order.

All players got 3 points, and all players won once against each opponent. Seems correct to me.

BIG BAD WOLF: I thought the rating came into play while tabulating the SB

Jim Dandy: Stronger/weaker players refers to their performance in the current tournament, not their rating. I thought the same as you until I checked it out again now. http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=19
