one has a problem:) one has just signed for ones first "anti backgammon"...has anyone got any tips....I know this isnt tournament but...sorry ...please PM me.
thanks :)

Im running a reversi tournament, with hopefully a membership prize at the end...before i get any Pathetic Disabled Pensioners (Big Boss)remarks,
I want it to be known that I HOPE i can pay for someone to be come a member...I will wait and see of course :)

excuse me I was talking to Rod...answering HIS post way down the board or did you miss it down there....isnt his off topic as well?
or is it only off topic when it is I

awww... i can feel the love in here..

:-D

hahaha Rod...isnt it amazing roflmbo:)
It only took a week as well :)

LindaJ tourney?
all the prizes...
advertised $50 winner.....$450 Fencer
Who is paying for the "every section winner wins a prize"
20 new members = 5 sections = overall = Big-one :)
Brain Kinght costs (cant think) but maybe $18 x 20 = $360....plus final winner = $50...overall that is $410....does Fencer get only $90..

what i really want to know.....who is paying the 20 new memberships? does the $450 got to Fencer as originally planned?

ah ha....thats a good thought Linda :)...thanks for clarifying that....it wasnt a nice vision LO,,,/by 2010..your $450 would be worth $4.50...not really but you know what i mean....

yup agreed here altho I wouldnt get too many cups but then ...???

Fencers 1st official BK tournament should be a lesson to others????

To be still going after 12 months or more is a little bitsilly in MY mind...Im thinking of Lindas 100 @ $5...how long with holidays is this going to take to run....I noticed that Fencer only had 85 in his chess (the only one i lookedat)
and it hasnt even finished the first round :(
So for the moneymaking ones....Fencer might get his cash by the year 2010? (slight exageration)

it is a lot isnt it :) I actually have goodfoods playing a game of Battleboats with Whikki, that has been running since last july-august...:(
when they go on like this i wish i had never started them :(

OK...i am bound to get a few ANTI- Bernice posts on this....but has anybody ASKED Fencer exactly what he wants?

Ask him what he is going to do with the small amounts of money he is going to be getting (maybe)
ask him EXACTLY, what he wants.....stop assuming, stop thinking thru his mind...just let the man get on with building the site up.
Ask him....what would he do with $450....ask him for gods sake....stop sending useless donations... 100 people X $5 in a tournament.....how long would this take to eventuate...the thought is good the final result could be a long way down the track......
either put your money up....or shut up and let Fencer get on with it....only my opinion

I can appreciate and understand what Linda is doing with her tournament to raise money...the question I ask is.....
If this IS the ONLY money raised... $450 for Fencer....what will he do with $450 when that is only a 10th of what he needs....do we go back to trying to raise another $3500, and go through all this explaining etc etc again???

***Edit*** the reasons I ask is...what would he (Fencer) do with $450...it isnt even a deposit.

Would he be expected to refund if this was the only money forthcoming???

Secondly.....are people giving Fencer the money they have pledged already??

I have read where "So and So" will donate $40 if the sun dont set etc....
ok....assume it hasnt set....has the $40 been paid...we have to look at this realistically(sp)

This isnt a hypothetical situation...for Fencer it is real, for the rest of us it is playing with people who in most cases will never meet and will never have any contact with apart from the internet

Ive removed someone because i have maybe stipulated it was only for dummies, not experts, and have had 2000+ join...they didnt come back to me on it, so i assumed they were just removed:)

i can remember having this very same conversation 12 months ago, and nothing changed then so nothing will change now...just wear it

i have just set up a tourney for this....low scoring players only ..1500, but would consider letting someone who was just over in or at request could change the range :)...Please join...

"""If there are 90 players, it only takes one "loser" to mess it up for everybody else. """
