Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for this Super Bowl of checker tournaments. It's your chance to play the finest players on Brain King. Anyone can win but at the very least you stand to learn something about this great game.
Starts in 2 days and we have 2 openings. Strap on your helmets for we have the best checker players on the site ready to go. There is no restriction on who can play but there are 7 players entered rated above 2000. Message me for an invite.
The games from the Battleboats #7 - you have already played all the games from that tournament - and currently there is 1 game left in that section (both players looking for last boat) - and once that last game is done in the section, you are allowed to enter a new tournament.
If you do not want to wait for that last battleboat game to be complete, you can send a nice message to Fencer and ask him to allow you to enter your next tournament since you have finished all the games in the Battleboat #7 tournament.
Deadline is August 17, just two days away! We have 38 participants so far which already makes a whopping good tournament but late-comers are welcome so please sign up if you get the urge. TNP
The Spring 2003 open Pente-Keryo Pente championship (Pente),its finished in all sections, but Gary Barnes didnt login since 2aug, Fencer can you help to continue teh tournament??
Yea, Currently #38 of my "Fast start Backgammon" tournament is up now - and I know I was at least at 40... if not #41 yesterday... :-) Plus all my posts are gone, etc.... :-(
One week away from the Big Bash! 35 have already signed up and this promises to be a Killer of a Backgammon tournament. Get a seat while you can. And remember to Take No Prisoners!
Also the game time limit was suspended for a while. If the 4 weeks he took to move occured during this time it would explain how it happened. Along with vacation days :o)
There wouldn't have been any "behind the scenes deals" going on. The person probably used his/her vacation days. All levels get some, the higher your membership though, the more you can use.
My understanding Damian is that if you are technically OUT of this tournament then you can send a message to Fencer and he will enable you to join another one!
I could be mistaken, but it is worth a shot. i seem to remember reading it on a previous posting!!
My part in a K-P Tourney has been over for 5 weeks. Two players are left, and moving slowly. I am at the mercy of these players and can not join a tourney that is giving away a free 6 month membership open only to pawns without memberships.
AT the rate that single last game is going, I will miss the signup date of this new tourney, since I am prevented from joining it until the old tourney is over. Additionally, one -player was allowed for reasons beyond my understanding since no one explained it, to delay his move for 4 weeks despite the time to move being 6 days! So with all these behind the scenes deals going on, I will miss the signup deadline/time for this new tourey for Pawns only! How is this right?
I believe to remember that the 'minimum players' restriction
counts only for the total amount of players in a tourney ...
i.e. not for the subgroups required to be generated now ... ~*~
I am running a Loop chess tournament (Let's Get Loopy AD's Loop Chess #2) with a limit of 6. There are 7 joined now. I am assuming that with the limit of six that once I start the tourney it will divide into sections of no more than six. I have it set up this way:
Minimum number of players: 4
Maximum number of players: unlimited
Maximum number of players per section: 6
Does this mean I need at least 8 (or 12 ) so that sections meet the no less than 4 criteria?
This is shaping up to be a fine tournament indeed. 30 have signed up so far and seats are available. Deadline is Aug 27. Join us as we discover who really IS the Backgammon champ. TNP
I've been making some "Fast Start - First 5 to sign up - Backgammon" tournaments (which I'm currently up to #18), but the first 10 tournaments are complete! (or at least complete enough to know who the winner is)
Congrats to the 8 players above - and all 8 have been invited to a Championship tournament. Good luck to you all, and again congrats to all the winners!
For all you Anti-checker enthusiasts and those who just enjoy a good challenge or those of you who just want to play more games.Sign up til Aug 7. And may the best woman (ok ok or man) win! ;-)
I want to hold a thematic tournament and was considering using the Screen Chess option. I found out it requires all the pieces be placed on the boad. In the first 7 to 10 moves pawns or other pieces can be removed. Anyone have any ideas?
I know a list of moves can be given and required to all players to follow, but that can be clumsy. If one player makes an incorrect move then the Theme is wrong and mess up. You then have a game where players have to abanded the game which can be sticky in tournament play where the tourney bot controls the issuing of games.
Something to ask Fencer about I guess unless there is an idea using what we currently have.
For example if a Thematic Tournament was selected then the ECO would be copied into the games as they were generated. LOL, sounds easy to say, programming it is much tougher.
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
