Eriisa:

thanks for organising this tournement,
hope that many people will join,
there are allready 6 players
so if you wanna play just join,using the link

Babygirlle: I'm not sure where you're seeing the two dates, the one you need to be concerned about is where it says "Last term to sign up" right below the minimum number of players. Thats the date your tourney will start.

where it has the date, it has todays date the 8'th and it shows the last date to sign up as the 14, I don't know what I should put for the date to start and the last date to sign up can you help?

Eriisa: thx :)

playBunny: LMAO What a hoot! Are y'all nuts?

Nirvana: I've signed up for a lot in the PIPIKUV CAS. It would be helpful if there were some kind of "all games" reference, otherwise many players probably just overlook these.

@ kleineme,

O i didn't know that,

can someone tell me in a practise game,the hints and trucs of this beautiful game,much nicer then normal Chess

Hi,

Groeneveld: I could start such a tournament but the probability that this tournament will attract 50 or even more players is quite small. Unless I would donate a couple of years of BK-memberships ;) The second reason, besides the one-year-membership, why the "Confucius"-tournament had so many participants was that Xiangqi was quite new on this site then.

So, if you want to have another great XQ-event you would have to donate something and you would have to wait a couple of months. Because at the moment the top players are waiting for the second round of the Confucius-tournament which is about to start soon. And most of the active XQ-players are involved in the Glenfiddich team tournament.

If you want to play a "normal" XQ-tournament there are always a couple of events where you can play all games including XQ: http://brainking.com/de/Tournaments?utf=&tp=68&submit=Zeigen&trnst=0.

chattytea:

thnxs ,but I hoped that someone actually start a new tournament,
it was not a question,more a remark

Groeneveld: if that person created the tournanment, then yes they can...

Morgan:

can someone who has a rook membership start a
CHinese Chess (Xianghi) tournament for let say 48 or 50 players (minimum)

thnxs

Groeneveld: You must have Rook membership to create tournament.

Hello,

I had a question,

can anyone start a tournament,
and if so,what must I do to start one??

Groeneveld

I agree, i think its ridiculous to create tourney more than 2 months in advance. who knows what they will be doing in 2 months time?

And they go beyond when that person's current membership ends, which should not be allowed, in my opinion..

BG: yea, that person created TONS of tournaments that start WAY in advance, making the tournament list VERY long.

http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?trg=10133

This starts in nine months time. Can that be right?

Eriisa: Thank you Eriisa! :)

CONGRATS Mary Jo

for winning Fast Small Backgammons #2 (Crowded Backgammon)

Two Tablut tournaments are coming up in a few days:
Tablut 1700+ created by Salkkuman for players with BKR 1700 and above (as the name suggests )
and
CTRL-ALT-TABlut created by Dundee and has no rating restrictions whatsoever.

Time to restart the quarterly tournaments.

Starts January 20th, 2006. Open to all

Two games switched colors. Good luck.
Yes, a link is good to add.

BIG BAD WOLF: Plus this looks like it is doing it to many (maybe all) the multi-point gammon tournaments.

arpa: OK, I see what it is doing now - but still believe it is wrong.

It is looking at how many games within each match which were won to calculate the S-B. So no matter if the game in the match is worth 1 point, or 5 points - that part does not effect the S-B.

So for the tournamnet you gave:

You actually won 3 games against JPS - So S-B calcualted as 3x3 (9)
You actually won 2 games against aledates - so S-B calculated as 2x2 (4)
You actually won 2 games against qusar - so S-B calculates as 2x0 (0)
You actually won 0 games against Nez - so 0x2 = 0
Total = 13

For JPS:

won 3 games against arpa = 3x3 = 9
won 4 games against aledates = 4x2 = 8
won 3 games against qusar = 3x0 = 0
won 5 games against nez. = 5x2 = 10

Total = 27

.... and so on.

Anyway, this is of course the wrong way to calculate the S-B, so you need to let Fencer know.

arpa: I would go post it in the Bug Tracker if I was you - that calculated S-B makes no sense. The person who won no games even got an S-B, which normally should be 0.

volant: S-B is an abbreviation for Sonneborn-Berger

FAQ: http://brainking.com/en/FAQ?ht=19

Basicly if there is a tie in points, an S-B is created to see if it can break the tie.

BIG BAD WOLF: what is the S-B in tournaments?

arpa: At first glance, no it is not. Looks like you should have won with a S-B of 5. (JPS only has 4)

With it being a multi-point tournament, looks like it is trying to calculate something differently.... but I can't figure out how.

in this turney S-B calculation are it correct?
http://brainking.com/it/Tournaments?tri=70300

Thad: i concur

rod03801: "Fencer is working on an improved tournament system"

Woo-hoo!

gringo: Fencer is working on an improved tournament system, and I believe what you ask is part of the improvements.

Well, I am sure this was asked a 1000 times before, but wouldn't it be nicer, if the next round of a tournament would start in the moment the winner of every section is unevidably clear (and not after the very last game of every section has finished)??

Don't miss the:

Midnight Mystletoe Mystery....

tmm43: That should be good enough - as long as you clearly note what the money is for, they should be able to place it towards the correct thing.

.... and by looking at the tournament, it says the payment is ready to go so it must have worked!

I created a prize tourney for backgammon called "Backgammon Prize Tournament" to begin 01-01-06. I was not sure how to pay for it so I just went to my membership and renewed for 6 months with a note saying I wanted to pay for this tournament. Was that the correct way to pay? If not could someone please tell me what I am suppose to do. Thanks and hope to see everyone in the tournament. :-)
