Rambo37: you are correct, only the lowest is eleminated each round, the trick is to bid just higher than that. You can also get a bonus of 500 points for having the highest bid but you really don't want to bid more than 500 points higher than the lowest bid because you don't gain anything. you also have to remember that your 20,000 points has to last you the entire game. Bids usually increase each round for example a bid of 45 may fall in the 1st round, 86 the 2nd, 135 the 3rd, 278 the 4th and so on(these were only examples) what I suggest is that you look at the ratings page http://brainking.com/en/Ratings?tp=1000 and pick out higher rated players that have played quite a few ponds and then join a pond that has moves at 1 day and study how they they bid. To get you to last at least 5 rounds you could bid 74,130, 150, 330,and 700. These wouldn't probably put you near 1st place but they are safe bids so you can study them. This is a game that takes a little time to get used to, be patient and good luck.

here is where you can read the oficial rules http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=21

Emne: Re: Lost 125 points :(
WhisperzQ: Yes, this happened to me also. Thankfully only in one pond. I ended up falling in, in the first round because of the downtime! My BKR fell significantly also. (I don't remember off-hand how much)
Both ponds and Fischer clock games need a different handling when there is site downtime. Especially when it's a lengthy one like 30 hours!

Emne: Re: Lost 125 points :(
Vikings: You have missed the point!

We both know that 59 is a dangerous bid first up but is usually successful (as it was in this game). Bernice's point is that she would not have bid (or left her bid at) 59 on the second round except that BK was down when she tried to get on. There were a few others who also did not bid, I expect for the same reason.

I think, especially for ponds, there should be a mechanism to either discount or ignore results of ponds which are effected by BK going down. When game time is suspended (or BK goes down) then pond time should also be suspended.

Even my bank is not as heartless as your comments Vikings!

http://brainking.com/en/Pond?g=1677&trnst=0

this pool was one of the ones where I fell in because of the nearly 2 day down time of BrainKing

If things could be checked it would be seen that in all the pools I have played in, this one is the only one EVER with * besides the bet :(

If the loss of points had of been a couple I would not have worried, but 125 is a hell of a lot of ponds to try and make up :(

Tilpasset af coan.net (26. November 2005, 01:00:30)
I have created 3 new "elite" tournaments. Around the top 40 players are allowed to play.

  • Ponds removed. Some were offended that I was trying to offer special and different ponds then all the rest, so instead of worry about it - I just removed them. Thank you for you interest.

    Before the ponds start, I will go through and remove players who do not belong. I will also remove any players that are known to play as teams since this is unfair to everyone else. Please feel free to PM me privatly if you see someone who fits in that I may not know about.

    Thanks, and as always - have fun!

    I have a pond going where someone has zero points left. How come they didn't fall in the pond? (I don't play ponds very often so I might be missing something.) Is this a mistake or can I bid one on the next round?

    BIG BAD WOLF:What if several people joined an unlimited pond,then they were divided into brackets of 16 with the the top 4 advancing to the next round or last round.
    Would make for an interesting finish,especially if there was 3-4 left in the final round.
    It would only take 4 brackets (64 people)to fill a complete final round of 16,with all brackets going at the same time or,alternating every day.
    .

    Good luck to all that joined (FIRST POND PRIZE)T SHIRT TOURNAMENT.

    Emne: Re: Lost points finishing in 4th place?
    alexlee: It happens, I've lost points for 3rd place. The higher your BKR gets, the harder it is to maintain it. In the pond you played in there was no one with a higher rating than yours ,so yes you beat 13 other players but many had ratings of 1500 or 1800 and you got beat by 3 players all with at least 100 BKR points lower you.

    Emne: Lost points finishing in 4th place?
    Pond: a pond a day keeps the boredom away #186

    The pond is finished. Your final position is 4 out of 17 players.

    Your BKR change: old BKR = 2374, new BKR = 2365 (-9)
    I would have thought finishing 5th place or higher you would gain and not lose points?
