crosseyed: I'm not sure what you are trying to acomplish by keeping this up on the tournaments board. I mean Fencer has already introduced Fischer clock games which basicly reward fast movers, plus he has introduced no vacation/weekends, and fixed weekend only games which also help keep the pace up. Heck, you can even make the time limit of a game down to 1 hour. These are all good solutions to people who want to play fast, along with just staying out of tournaments/games which do not have time limits which fit your need. (You don't see slow movers comin on here complaining about fast movers moving too fast and making their games time out.) Simple solution for everyon - just join tournaments that fit your time needs.
Now lets try to get back to talking about tournament:
Subjekt: Re: taking negatively in fellowships and discussion
crosseyed: I guess being called a slow mover is new form of name calling lol! BigBagWolf I would have though that this was included in (discussion of tournies) My solution to this problem was easy. I just stopped playing in tournies.
BIG BAD WOLF: I am talking about tournament games. I can't help it if someone response to my post a week later or more. If you don't like it don't read it. I already know about fisher clock etc now. And from now on I will only play fast tournament games. But I will not play any fisher clock ones as I was once time-out with several games through no fault of mine because this site was not accessable to me. As for this comment "You don't see slow movers comin on here complaining about fast movers moving too fast and making their games time out" You have totally lost me??? 'time-outs'??? I might not like some of your posts but I don't say it.
Tried this yesterday on BK board, guess I'll try here...On my "Tournaments" page in my profile I've got a couple listed as "Open" that have already come to completion and are now dead in the water...How do I remove them so I don't keep checking to see if I need spaces for future rounds?...anybody?
juls31: All tournaments are listed under the tournaments link on the left side of the main page. You can set parameters and search for a certain type of tournament. When you find one, look at the number of games. If it is single elimination, you need 1. If it is one game for each 2 players, you need 5. If it is two games for each 2 players, you need 10.
please tell me if a pawn signs up for a single elimination tournament and has to many games will they not be included and also would that mean the tournament wouldnt take place

imsoaddicted: the tourney would still run but only if there is enough players so for example, if only 4 people sign up and 1 of them gets removed the tourney would not run, but if 17 signed up and 3 were removed it would still run just with 14 players.
Edited after reading previous post properly lol... Not sure if it's the same for single eliminations you'd have to ask Fencer.
Chaosu: Of course it is possible if you have a credit/debit card. Furthermore, beginning 14th September, you'll be eligible to have a full-featured PayPal account.
Unlocking international wire transfers cost me same as premium account, but we already talked about it. Also, I am under 18 and I do not own any credit/debt cards. Sorry, not possible. However I am glad to hear that PayPal is going to care more for (about?) Poland, I will tunr 18 in this month so we will see if I will be able to purchase membership then.
Fencer: Unless your ratings changed after this seeding was made, it is not correct. Also, it is customary to list the ranking with the person.
Top bracket as 1-8 next------- as 4-5 next------- as 3-6 next------- as 2-7
If done in this manner it will makes it possible to have the top seeds meet in the semi final and the number 1 and 2 meet in the final. It is easier to follow using the numbers this way too. If the ranking were done with the top four seeds and the rest assigned randomly, then I suppose it's fine and doesn't matter. It certainly is an improvement. How did you do it?
Walter Montego: Fencer's way is one possible way to do it. Your's is another. Another is 1-5 2-6 3-7 4-8, 1-3 2-4. It would be a combination of those 2.
gambler104: You are right about that, but the method I was using lends itself to higher powers of 2 more easily. It also depends on how much importance is placed on the ratings, their accuracy, and the goals of the tournament organizer.
I like to think that the ratings are accurate with the goal to have the best players play each other for the championship and not knock each other out in the early rounds. I'st easy to group the people by adding one to the power of 2 for the number of rounds and then pairing them that way. 8 people is three rounds 2 × 2 × 2 + 1 = 9. 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, and 4-5 should be the first round pairings. If the rounds will not be reseeded each round, which is the normal procedure, the winner of 1-8 should play the winner of 4-5, and the winner of 2-7 plays the winner of 3-6. It's fairly straight forward to draw the tree graph using the numbers and keeping them like that. A few months ago some peole posted some good links for tournament organizers and also discussion various formats of it. Perhaps someone can remember where it is and maybe add the link to this page's title. I'm willing to bet Fencer made a note of it.
For sixteen players you use 17 as the number, thirty-two uses 33.
