furbster: No: 6 normal, 3 rain and 2 dark..

i don't know then, i deleted my previous post as i had a quick peak after i wrote it, im nto sure where they come from then

furbster: thanks anyway :)

Mr. Shumway: OK, I know - it's a little complex - hopefully Fencer will read this since it looks like a small bug also.

On main profile page (under name, next to win/loss record) = won tournaments is the total amount of tournaments you won (NO PONDS - All tournaments) (you won a total of 40 tournaments.)

In Profile, in completed games - it will show you how many games you won for each tournament type. If you add this up, you will come up with 34. Why 34? Because RANDOM GAME tournaments are not shown on this page.

In the Winners page, this total is your Won games (NOT INCLUDING YOUR RANDOM GAME TOTAL) so 34 - PLUS Pond wins (which is 11) = which brings to the total of 45.

Are you still with me? Hope so, because I'm a little lost.

Anyway, seems like a bug. Not sure what the best way to fix it - maybe in the Finished games page in the profile, right below the "ponds", maybe a row for "Random Tournaments" - not to keep win/lose records since that is kept with the type of game you played, but just to keep the tournament won total for random game tournaments.

You have won 34 regular tournament & 6 Random game tournaments, and 11 ponds.

BIG BAD WOLF: that makes it clear, thank you :) So the number which is messed up is the one on the Winners page - it should be either 40 (excluding) or 51 (including) ponds. right? ;)

Mr. Shumway: That is correct. 40 tournament wins (51 including ponds)

Random Game tournaments - some pages know what to do with them, some do not.

Big tournament with interesting prize: Velký vyřazovací pavouk o zajímavou cenu

lukec: What does it mean "pelota"?
In spanish means ball. Is it  signed by Milan Baros? :)

whopper:The top 4 BKR'S of each of the three rounds,the highest average BKR'S of the three rounds will advance for a prize of that specific game,i hope that i've clarified myself,as to the rules and regulations.

Mr. Shumway: oops, i then misunderstood :)
the same will then apply to leaving the stairs as which applies to retire on a stairs

the games will continue and will still count for your opponent, and also for you if you are still on the stairs (but not if you left it :))

Hrqls: I reentered immediately after leaving, and I "cannot start a new game until ...", so I think that they even count for me, as I finish them while I am in. Not sure about that though ;)

Mr. Shumway: you are sure you used 'Remove me from these stairs' and not 'Start retirement' ?

because what you say sounds exactly like a retirement works (as i understand :))

same thing happens if you use remove me from stairs.. I've done it before..

fast ludo: Člověče nezlob se, rychlá hra

Hrqls: Yes, I am :)

Mr. Shumway: fun :)

i never left a stairs ... why would you leave one if you can retire and return in the future :)

Hrqls: maybe because there are tricky situations as a pawn? I don't know, but I heard of a loophole concerning stairs that enabled pawns to get more than twenty games!

Mr. Shumway: but i guess it wont be possible to use that loophole when the pawn is retired on the stairs ? as the stairs then isnt active for that pawn

i see very little difference between retirement and leaving a stairs .. only that when you retire you wont lose your position on the stairs
(hmm as a pawn it might be needed to leave a stairs to be able to join another one)

come on guys just 6 more people needed for this elimination tourney to be underway
Random eliminatrix

How is it Mystic River, creates so many tournaments, signs up for each with a low rating, yet
takes no part in them, also how do you create multi-tournaments like this

WellyWales: she created them a long time ago, many a year in advance, and has since been gone, and timed out in a ot of them, thus the low rating

We need 4 players for mrloupcity's brain tournament to begin,50 brains for entry fee,winner takes 275,total players 15.

3 now

Thanks furbster,much appreciated.

Mike.:o)

Evásek: Your tourney is all in Czech. Does that mean you rather only Czech players? Don't want to sign up without asking first!

Rose: I'm sure you can sign up for her tourney. :)

rednaz23: Wow, that is a big tournament - 10 win match, 2 games between each player - so between 20-38 games with each opponenet - WOW!

It is a single elimination event, which means if you lose, you don't play in the next round.

Only about 6 days left to fill the slots, otherwise it will be cancelled.
