Emne: Illegitimate tournament entries

Just for kicks, I tried entering some tournaments that I was rated either too high or too low for, and I was able to do it!? I was expecting to see some note saying I didn't qualify, but instead my name was placed on the list, which I immediately removed.

Then, I wondered if someone deliberately or by accident made such an entry, how would it be handled? Do the organizers delete anybody who should not be there when they start the tournament?

Emne: Chess and variants for dummies :)

I have just created Chess and variants for dummies :) (under 1500 BKR) tournament.

Everyone that enjoys chess but not getting trashed by superior opponents is welcome to join. This is also a great opportunity to try out all the variants you always wanted to but didn't for a reason or another.

Tournament will be starting July 1st.

Emne: Re:

I guess I did understand the TD needed to start the tournament. I was concerned about starting it before the assigned sign up date.

Since the required number for the minium players is met and it looks as if all players can participate, I assumed I could start the tourament with out it being canceled for some silly reason on the tourey bot.

Thanks again.

Emne: Pente Tournament

There is still plenty of room to join the BIG BAD WOLF presents: ALL 6 Pente Games! (#7)

It includes all 6 versions of Pente and will start in about 24 hours.

23. Juni 2003, 01:19:05

The tournaments are not started automatically - that is the job of the tournament creator :-)

When you want to start it, click the button that says "Close for Signups" on the tournament page. That will take you to another page in which you will be allowed to start the tournament. Remember you have to click two buttons (one to close sign-ups and another to start the tournament) before it will start.

And also when the first round completes, if there is to be a 2nd round, that is your job to start as well. It will not start automatically ;-)

23. Juni 2003, 00:54:59

Emne: Re:

Thanks for your help Kevin. Just to make sure I have things clear here.
The tournament now has 4 people, 3 are unrated. Of the three one has 11 games started, once the tourney starts he will have a total 19 games stared. If I close the tournament early will all the games start? Currently none will exceed the 20 game max allowed to pawns.
I would think the tourney bot would recognize the minum number of players required to start and would start the tournament.
Strange indeed.

Two more 10x10 players desesperatly needed to start fast Halma tournament !

21. Juni 2003, 19:41:03

It would just be a good idea to not start the tourney until you have either at least 4 rooks signed up, or more than 4 other players - the more the safer you are! :-)

(or, if you wanted to, you could check all the pawn and knight profiles to see how many games they had, and see which ones will not have room for it) :-)

You have to start over unfortunately.

21. Juni 2003, 11:59:31

Emne: Re:

So what do you do if the tourney doesn't start because of someone not qualifying? Can you just get another player, or do you have to start over with a new tournament?

21. Juni 2003, 08:06:21

coan.net

If you click to close a tournament, it has to have at least the minimum number of people signed up or the tournament will be deleted. (So if the minimum is set to 4, at least 4 need to be signed up)

What makes it tricky is if a pawn or Knight sign up and they don't have enough room, then they are "kicked" out of the tournament which might send the total number back below the minimum number - meaning the tournament will not start.

I hope this helps!

Emne: A question?

I read the following:
Please don't forget that you cannot close the tournament for sign-ups before the date and time specified at the Last term to sign up field passes. After this action is performed, all tournaments with less than defined minimum number of players will be deleted.

Does this mean if a tournament has a minimum of 4 people, only 3 sign up, then the tournament is deleted? The statement "After this action is performed, all tournaments with less than defined minimum number of players will be
deleted." leads me to believe all tournaments with a minimum amount of players will be deleted? A more clear explanation of the statements would helpl

Thanks

Emne: New Tournament

Hello everyone.
I've posted a tournament for those that play Anti-Checkers.

Time limit is 5 days per move with 2 games aside. It is created for those rated 1700 and under (including Provisionals and unrated players).

So, if you fall into this category, sign on up. Signups end June 28.

Thank you.

grant: Considering it is 2 games against each player, and you will probably be in an 8-person section (based on the # of sign-ups) you could have as many as 14 games in that tournament.

Icon, it also depends if you want to play for fun or not! There are a lot of serious players here, I play more for fun, but some of my teams have very serious players... I guess fellowship captains will soon get to know which are the 'serious' ones, and play more often against those, if thats their choice.

10. Juni 2003, 01:26:27

Even so, the teams have to agree before they can have a tournament. If one team doesn't agree to play, there won't be a tournament.

Emne: Kevin's Spider Line4 (5)

I have created my 5th Spider Line4 tournament a few days ago. It's open for everyone to join, and will probably start around the 21st of June.

9. Juni 2003, 22:58:21

I'm assuming the teams will have to agree on how many players, and only that many players will play. Although, it would be possible with uneven players. And why do the ratings have to be equal? It will never happen exactly, and even if it does the ratings are never a completely accurate representation of a player's ability until they play infinite games :-)

7. Juni 2003, 08:47:51

Sometimes (not often) the tournament creator will post a message here or on another board announcing the tournament. If they do not do that, the best way it to just periodically check the "Tournaments" page found on the left of this page. Many tournaments have all games included, and many others are a single game, or a few games. You might have to check through them to find the one(s) you want.

However, being a brain pawn (non-paying member) you are limited to one tournament entry at a time, and cannot join another tournament until either your section completes and you do not move on to the next round, or the tournament finishes :-)

4. Juni 2003, 08:42:07

Also there are 2 butons to start a tourney, you press one to close for sign up, then you have to go back and press another almost identical one to actually start the tourney.
Its very easy to forget to do this!! I've done it once, but I always remember now because I got such a good tongue lashing for forgetting!! LOL!!
