Subject: Tournaments with multiple game types - is it possible?
Not sure if this belongs here or in the ‘feature requests’ forum, but here goes:

I think it would be interesting to organize a tournament similar to decathlon in athletics. Each two opponents would have to play ten (or a different number) of pre-defined game types against each other, and the accumulated score in all game types would decide who qualifies for the next round.

Apparently, this can’t be done in the current tournament structure (correct me if I’m wrong). So, I wonder if there is a practical way to work around it, for instance by starting tournaments in each game type and then calculate the overall winner manually; or (preferably), if an option could be implemented in Brainking 3.0 to create tournaments with multiple game types.

I’m considering buying a brain rook membership to set up a tournament like this, but I’d appreciate any input from more experienced tournament creators before I start.

pedestrian: There is no automatic way of doing it built into the system, although people do run such Tournaments and work the points out themselves

It has been brought up before, though it is not on my list to give to Fencer, so i will add it now

pedestrian:

Along a similar line to what you propose is something like this. The tournament could be decided solely on the basis of which player scores the most points for all games played in the tournament as a whole.  One advantage is that more individual game tournaments might get started on time since in order to win it would be the total won games and not won tournaments that would decide the issue making it necessary to play more games.

Nothingness: That is interesting. I'd be very interested in seeing how you set it up. Do you have a link to the tournament?
