Agreed BBW, as at first Knights were not going to be allowed to play in any team tournaments. Then Fencer decided to let them play in just the one.
I think the main problem is now the Knights can only play one team tournament, that Rook members are joining ones they would not normaly play.
This is giving alot of them alot more games than they would normaly play. After playing in quite a few team tournaments you seem to notice you come across alot of the same players again & again as it is often the same Rooks playing in them.
I know that the idea is to try to get members to upgrade to Rooks.
Is this reason really working do we know ?
We would certainly get alot more teams entering tournaments if Knights were allowed to enter more than one, but of course there is that magic 50 game limit to be kept to.

Is there ONE player out there who would like to join our Tank Battle team ?
It doesn't matter how good you are, it can't do as i am playing LOL, lets just have some fun :o)
(only 18 mins left)
Please can we all keep this board for what it meant for:
BrainKing.com tournaments - questions, answers & discussion.
As Red Dragon pointed out bumble is away and i am ver busy for until the weekend, so dont have alot of time to get on to.
Obvioulsy Fencer still can if he sees something he does not like & is off subject, BUT i am sure he has better things to do.
I don't want to set this board to having 'All posts must be approved'
oh yeah, i knew there had to be a reason, but it is for a good cause. Even with them, nothing can really change the outcome in that section of the tournament.
Well done to beach, IMupChucKing & MadMonkey (oh, thats me lol) on creating a 3-way draw/win in the Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (4) (Battleboats Plus) Tournament.
I will sort out a new Boat tourny today as the other 2 are alomost finished :o)
harley: I have entered your Maharajah Chess tourny, but it says only 4 players and you have 7 (well 8 now lol).
If there are too many just remove me :o)
paduking: If you are sure you are out of a tournament, you can message Fencer, and he will check to make sure & allow you to enter another :)
*EDIT*
I have checked, and yes you are out that 5 in a Row tourny. I don't know if you will have to wait for all the section to be completed though.
Message Fencer as i say and ask :)
LongJohn: Pawns will be allowed to post here until it gets to the way it got on BK 1.0 months ago. As of yet no one has said anything wrong, it is a discussion.
If anyone wants to discuss about any subject other than Tournaments, then take it to the General Board please.
Tourny will be starting in about an hour (or when i get back from my mates) so come along and sign up quick for a fast 2 day per move tourny with 5 players per section :o)
Congrats to ladybell on winning the Madmonkeys 'Boat Battle' (2) tournament.
Come along and sign now for the next one everyone,a fast 2 day per move tourny with 5 players per section (only 3 days left to sign) :o)

I thought of something simular a while back to remove people from the friends list Aragon. I have about 250 on mine at present, collected over the time here, but alot at the bottom dont even play here anymore, tick boxes to remove them would be a great help LOL.
I think something has to be done about the posting of Prize tournaments.
That is 2 tournaments in 1 week that have been advertised as offering prizes and deleted.
One of the tournaments by GI offering a large ammount money, but had no one sign up, AND also LJ's 2 year Rook membership one, which was causing enough problems anyway as it was intended to do (mainly for pawns & Knights).
My thoughts are that if someone wants to organise a Prize one they should write to Fencer first to get permission OR when a Prize tounament is set (by ticking the box in the set up page) then that tournament should have to approved by Fencer before it will post (could be incorperated in BK 2.0).
Until this situation is sorted i suggest removing the Prize box from the set up page. This way, only Fencer himself can make it show as a Prize tournament by manually hi-lighting it himself, after being asked to do so. I can not see many more being set at the moment anyway and hopefully a better solution can be found in the future and stop all this hassle.
Fencer has stated that the only official BK Prize tournaments will be created by himself anyway (or have his backing).
I did not mention there was anything wrong with it at all LJ, i asked a couple of questions.
For this i have been put on LJ's enemy list (like i am worried) AND i have removed myself from your tournament LJ.
The way i see it Rose is LJ has no intention of giving the prize or running it as a prize tournament, why else keep removing people who want to play ?
He will not let it get anywhere near 200, not that it has a hope the way its going LOL.
LJ: 2 years ROOK membership is a very generous prize to donate, BUT a couple of questions.
You have it set the tourny for a minimum of 16, but state it will only be a Prize tourny if you get 200 plus players, then it will return to a normal tourny. Personally i think that the only reason there are 71 at present is because it is such a good prize, and alot would lose interest if it was only a normal one (being 2 games switched as well). Players need more time, as there is so much going on at present.
Also you have set it for closing date March 31st.
You are on vacation at the end of March and all of April.
Is there a reason for March 31st ??
Why not give players (pawns & Knights) that extra time (a month) to make room to join ??
Note: There is a chance that BK 2.0 may be ready by then, in which case Fencer will of course inform everyone and all Tournaments will have to be started a.s.a.p.
This is a small Backgammon challenge tourny between The Madhouse and The Sunshine Club. Please visit either of the fellowships if you would like your name in the hat :o)
BlueM: The problem is that the time per move in that tournament is 21 (plus any vacation days people may have). It is also Xmas & New Year. I think it could be a long wait for you.
I suggest next time you pick a competition with a shorter move time.
NO GIRLLLLIES ALLOWED !!!!
We are having a boys Tournament to coincide with Cariads GIRLY one LOL. Then there will be a playoff between the Tournaments. This will be decided on a basis of how many players enter and therefore how many section winners etc.. there are & will be by Private invite.
(hide) Want to play more games but you're having trouble decide which game to start? Enter a tournament with random games. (pauloaguia) (show all tips)
