Marshmud: I actually don't mind running a Pond thing. I have recently decided to stop doing the yearly pond tournament, but I wouldn't mind hosting another pond tournament if it's a one off.

Marshmud: I think Backgammon would be the obvious choice because people are familiar with it and it doesn't last long! Ludo will last forever;especially if the time controls are set for three days!

Marshmud: also, if you want to keep it as a holiday tournament, use the Fischer clock to insure speedy play. Otherwise you get characters like me that move at a turtles pace 

Marshmud:<span> Jim, I’ll match your prize for the winning team. 

rod03801: Short is great with the holidays around the corner. Make it a holiday prize tournament. I have a couple planned. Had to get a ok from fencer, ( cant be done manually) but one of my ideas is all 3 ponds, and the average placement ( with points for the top 5 places in each pond) and the highest ranking player ( of all 3 ponds combined) receives a 6 month rook. A two day pond would be completed by end of this year. Maybe BGBedlam and the Multigammon Mayhem gang would like to run it? We did have near 30 contestants in the last one.

I think a prize tournament to play randomly of our most popular games would be nice. we could even run a poll to see what the top 5 games are. So for now its open for discussion, but lets get them ready to sign up this week if possible.

not sure, waiting for mad monkey but the DEC 2021 site backgammon tournament may be converted to a prize tournament, but after we all talk about it, we may change and just start a whole new game type for around xmas to start.

Marshmud: I'd think Ludo or Backammon. (Or Hyper, to keep it shorter?)

any ideas for a site team game prize tournament. If we have 4 man teams, 3 months membership to each player. If we have a 6 player team, 2 months to each team member.

any ideas on the game or style?

MadMonkey: Thank you, MadMonkey!

Aganju: Fencer wanted me to test it out, so I did. MadMonkey will be the main person creating the Team Tournaments.

rod03801: My opinion: for many serious Backgammon players, you need to allow the doubling cube. It is a different (and less interesting) game without it; I would 't want to play.

rod03801: Looks good to me. Keep the number of players at 4 and that way there might be enough teams to make a decent tournament. 

Fencer has given MadMonkey and myself, the ability to create Team Tournaments, since Coan hasn't been on in a while.
I created a "Test" one. MadMonkey will be the person mostly setting them up, though.
It's been a while since I created a tournament, so I apologize if the paramaters are not perfect!

It is "Random Backgammon".
NOV 2021 - Random Backgammon Team Tournament

pdolla2:
As a "brain pawn", I'm pretty sure that you can't. Sorry.

How do I (CAN I) set up a tournament?

furbster: That's a good idea. When I "bug" Fencer again, I'll mention that too. I hope Coan is doing OK.

rod03801: Sounds good, perhaps you could get the authority to create some new polls every once in a while too. Still need a few more for that achievement.

petty tournament


?

cd power: I have been in touch with Fencer about this, with a suggestion. When he gets around to it, he will set it up so that myself and/or MadMonkey can set them up. It will primarily be MadMonkey.
When I know more, I will post.

Can any new team tournaments be scheduled?

& every 2months
BIG Boats
All 3 boat games, unlimited players in groups of 5

long: this was not a standard tournament where the participants put up the Brains - those get automatically distributed. The creator put up his own Brains, and Fencer has to manually distribute them. Send a nice message to fencer, with a link to the tournament, and - my experience - you get them same day.

This tournament finished a month ago.
I won the first price but have not received it!
