Clandestine 1: Apparently I joined two (unfinished) tournaments (when I had Brain Rook status), and they both started more than three years ago. I think I made the last move in the Goodfoods one about three months ago. Ok, I know the rules. I am happy to buy a Brain Rook membership again when there is a sensible autopass system introduced for backgammon. If that had been the case for these stalled tournaments, maybe they would have finished already. Never mind, I can find other backgammon sites, It's just a shame that tournaments can run for five years withn no apparent progress. I can't think who actually enjoys them.

Clandestine 1: I'm just really hoping Rod wins his last game

Clandestine 1: I think a snail moves much faster than some of those players!

pgt: Actually the tournament in question is approaching its 5 yr anniversary due to handful of players who like to play at a snail's pace. After 5 yrs of play, we're still in the first round! - check it out LUCKY THIRTEEN
Wait until the second round, most of the games will be won by default due to the amount of players that advanced by winning their round and now they do not play here anymore.
The tournament started out exciting, but lost its mojo around 2006 sometime.

pgt: I think you will have to wait for the next round to start since you are going to win your section. then you can resign your games and ask fencer to release you

pgt: ask Fencer via PM, he should be able to help you ;)

I signed up for a tournament in February 2006 (when I was a Brain Rook) and it is still running - though my section finished about two years ago - I have not made a move in this tournament for two years!

Is there some way to default and remove myself from this tournament so I can sign up for some monthly fast-paced tournaments? (I am getting older, and at the pace this tournament is running, I'm quite likely not to be alive when it ends.)

A monthly series of fast-paced Hypergammon tourneys


I like it fast, 5-point Hyper, 1st October 2010

A monthly series of fast-paced Ludo tourneys


I like it fast - 3 wins Ludo - 1st October 2010

I like it fast - 3 wins Ludo - 1st November 2010

coan.net: That is the reason i posted it here, to try and get more people involved. In fact i may have a think about posting Team Tournaments (maybe the next 1 or 2) in the section above. That can't hurt and may help.

Hopefully Fencer will build in BK 3.0 the possibility of a Fellowship entering more than one Team in future, that would create some great fun and rivalry even within a Fellowship

MadMonkey: I wasn't trying to presume anything - you had asked where all the players were, and since that game is not a very popular game - I was just pointing out where 6 more players are at.

Hopefully there will be enough teams (4) to start the team tournament - always hate to see when not enough teams sign up for a team tournament.

coan.net: You are presuming these players wish to play for another Fellowship of course ??

I for one do not, but i have always said that those who do not get in a Team are free to play for anyone they wish, it is there choice. In fact 2 of the players left the Turkish Fellowship Team to play in the Madhouse one.

The Fellowships you mention have ample players in them to form Teams.

It seems crazy we need 6 players to play in a Turkish Checkers Tournament, yet only 5 to play in the Plakoto one

MadMonkey: There are 4 more players in the Madhouse team not playing in the tournament - should see about getting them over in another fellowship's team to help complete some other teams.

A few fellowships close to having 6 players:

Open teams to join: Republic of Uganda (5), The Untouchables (5), ۞ CħεcҜεrs' Aғίcίaηadøs ۞ (4)

... There are also 2 others on the Společenství přátel team which did not make it into the other signed up team, maybe see if they wanted to play for another team would be good also?

I love Team Tournaments, and i take pride in some great Teams we have in the Madhouse and we enter virtually EVERY Team Tournament, whether we stand a chance or not. We did not even have a Turkish Checkers Team until the Tournament was released. I had never taken an interest in the game until then, so with Tutagil's help i tried to learn it.

I am in lots of Fellowships and play in there Tournaments, BUT myself, i rarely play for any other Fellowships in Teams.

MadMonkey: I did bother to look. I find it funny for someone wondering “where are all the Checkers players” not to play in the tournament himself. Or are you a member of only one fellowship?

Pedro Martínez: If you bothered to look you would see I am in my Madhouse Team for Turkish Checkers, just not good enough to get on the Team

MadMonkey: And where are you? I don't see you signed up for the tourney.

Where are all the Checkers players

Bullet 3

I created a free entry tourney to win brains, but how do I submit the prize? It says something like: tournament won't start as prize isn't provided yet?

Random Gammon for 25 Brains - No Entry Fee

Please sign up -> 2000 ;) & 16000 :D (single elimination for 8 with immediately start & autopass)

rod03801: noted, rod; thanks. i did notice that when i took a closer look at some of them.

Pedro Martínez: yeah, there are rather a few on the Tournaments page (got to by clicking "Tournaments" in the sidebar, of course) in which the first prize is equal to or less than the buy-in.

plaintiger: If it is the typical "brain entry" tournament, they all say this:

The tournament will not be started until the first prize is at least a double of the entry fee

plaintiger: Do you mean any specific tourney?

i'm confused: why would anyone create or play in a brains tournament where the first prize is less than or equal to the entry fee? where's the motivation in that?

thanks...
