If 2 people looking to join a keryo pente team join The Teamplayers then our team can sign up

MadMonkey: Yes, of course a Pawn has to have enough spots to START a NEW tournament. That's completely different.

It would mess everything up if someone couldn't continue on to future rounds of tournaments.

MadMonkey: Actually, unless something has changed, there is no need to save any slots for the next round. Regardless of how many games you have going, you still move on to future rounds of tournaments.

cd power: From the Help page:

8.1.3) Triple gammon

This is a special tournament type for backgammon games (and variants) only. The section system is the same as for round robin tournaments - everybody plays one game with every other player of the same section - but the backgammon scoring rules are used to determine the number of points to the game winners:

* 0 points for a loss
* 1 point for a normal win
* 3 points for a gammon win
* 5 points for a backgammon win

Please see the backgammon rules page for the gammon and backgammon explanations.

"GERRY": Yes, it is perfectly allowable for anyone to remove anyone they don't want in their tournaments. A very good feature of Brainking.

Imsoaddicted: Perhaps that will be different in Brainking 3.0 . I believe the discussion board system is going to be revamped.

If you click on "Gerry"'s links, you will see that they are not really all the same message. Each link goes to the specific game of the main tourney, and it lists the winner.

Others have posted congratulations to their tourneys, and it has always been allowed.

Yes, I suppose it would be nicer if they could all be grouped together into one post.

"Hide" does work though, if anyone does not want to read them.

Babe68: As a Rook, you have the ability to create tournaments

Artful Dodger: Well, it doesn't seem to be a requirement that you sign up for each game. But yeah, to have a chance, I imagine you would have to sign up for quite a few. The ones that you think you have the most chance of winning, I imagine.

Artful Dodger: It says this in the description:

who ever wins most games in the whole tournament
wins 6 month rook membership

And it says it is 2 games each player, type tournament.

Tuesday: Sure. I am in a few fellowships that do tournaments like that, so I know it is possible. I think if you just set it up, and say that the prize is 200 brains, and PM Fencer, he will make sure it happens. Maybe one of the Big/Little Bosses who set up those types of tournaments frequently will clairify, here.

Ceiter: Send a message to Fencer. Many times he will take care of this for you. (At least he used to, anyways)

Mousetrap: Have you tried sending him a PM about it?

It's time to sign up for Triple Dice Poker *6D* for Brains! !!

Poker should involve gambling shouldn't it!? So, put up 50 brains and take a chance.

It will be 2 sections of 5 people each. Each player will have 2 games against the players of his/her section. The winners of each section will go to Round 2.

First place will receive 300 brains, and 2nd place will receive their 50 brains back.

Brains can be purchased on the "Brains" page. It's only 7 Euro for 150 Brains! Win enough, and you could buy a membership with Brains, instead of cash!

2 days per move, fixed weekends only. (No vacation days)

It will start as soon as 10 people have signed up.

coan.net: what are these 2 new variants of dice poker about? I signed up for a couple tournies..

Salongo: I am sure everything that was typed was perfectly acceptable.
Moderators who only understand one language are at a disadvantage of course, and have no way of knowing what something not in English means, of course.

I am always impressed that so many people in other countries are so multi-lingual! I only know bits and pieces of Spanish and French (other than English, of course, lol).

Anyways, I am going off topic now..

Cheers!

Please type in English on the English speaking public discussion boards.

Thank you

TarantinoFan: Nope, S-B has nothing to do with BKR.. Here is the explanation in Faqs..

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

MadMonkey: It seems to me this isn't the first time this sort of problem has arisen after the annual archiving. I think last year or the year before there were problems, too. Maybe not specifically the same exact problem, but pretty similar, I think. I don't remember it clearly now, though.

Puckish: Well, when it's tied it goes by S-B points. Basically, the points of the people she beat are added up, and the points of the people you beat are added up. She won against the people who won the most.

Puckish: No one can see your personal messages. Anyone who clicks that link just goes to their own message box.

Bullets9mm: The thing is, if you join a tournament with 5 days per move, you have to assume at least a few people are going to frequently take all of that time for each move. 5 days per move really isn't "short". In fact many with that time control will be some of the longest!

If you move that much each day, 1 day per move tournies would probably be great for you.

Sometimes, it can't hurt to send a nice personal message to someone who is taking a long time, and they may actually speed up for you. I know lots of people who have hundreds of games going at once will move on their games in order of time out. They probably aren't INTENTIONALLY trying to hold things up. If they know someone is wishing they would speed up, they may start specifically looking for games of that tourney.

Also, one thing to remember is that if as a Pawn, if you are in a tourney where your own games are completed, and there is no way for you to move on to the next round, you can send a message to Fencer, and he will probably "release" you from that tourney so that you can join another. (and not wait until every player in that round is done playing)

Tigger: I am in the tourney.

And as far as I know, the "private" part of it is only meaning that no one else can enter except those invited. As far as I know, even "invite only" tournies are still visible.

Does anyone know why the bottom half of this tournament would be gone?

I noticed it a while ago when we were having all the image problems, etc., so didn't think much of it at the time.

None of the "charts" are there. This tourney is still running.

It's my Birthday Private Party. Have fun! 2100+

Oceans Apart: You have to remove the team from the tournament first. Then sign up with the new team

VA_M.O.N.E.Y.: This link: Clicking Here will show the Tournament page filtered to show Tournaments that include Mancala. Some have negative time left until they start. In those, maybe the Mancala portion only needs 1 person until it starts. (I didn't check) But that link should help you possibly find one.

(link sorted lol)

Groeneveld: Create a tournament, and check off where it says to make this tournament private and will send invitations. Then, go to the profiles of the people you would like to invite, and if you scroll down a ways, you will see a place where you can invite them.

Speedy Dice Games #2 has started! The anti backgammon portion is the only part that did not start. If 2 people sign up for it within 24 hours from now, it will start too.

Do you like dice games? Do you like them speedy?

Then sign up for Speedy Dice Games #2 !!!

This tournament includes all dice games. It is 1 day per move, fixed weekends only. (No vacations)

Any of the games with at least 4 people signed up, will start this coming Saturday night.

The Dice Poker for Brains #1 started tonight.

So, now it's time to sign up for Triple Dice Poker For Brains #1 !!

Poker should involve gambling shouldn't it!? So, put up 50 brains and take a chance.

It will be 2 sections of 5 people each. Each player will have 2 games against the players of his/her section. The winners of each section will go to Round 2.

First place will receive 300 brains, and 2nd place will receive their 50 brains back.

Brains can be purchased on the "Brains" page. It's only 6 Euro for 150 Brains! Win enough, and you could buy a membership with Brains, instead of cash!

It will start as soon as 10 people have signed up.



**edited to put spaces in long lines**
**edited to fix a link!**

There's a little less than 2 hours left to get in on Speedy Dice Games #1

Dice chess needs one more person to sign up.

There's also Ludo and most of the backgammon games.

BIG BAD WOLF: I bet if you take off the U=2560, the address will convert to the name..

Speedy Dice Games #1 - Includes all dice games. 1 day per move, fixed weekends only. It will start in about 24 hours from now.

Dice Poker for Brains #1 - 50 brain entry fee. 10 players. 2 sections of 5 players. Each player will have 2 games against each of the opponents in their section. The final winner will receive 300 brains, and the 2nd place person will receive their 50 brains back. Brains can be purchased on the "Brains" link off the main menu.
2 days per move, fixed weekends only. It will be started as soon as 10 people sign up.

Tripod Tom: For tournaments where you play 1 game with each player in your section, you need 5 open slots (regardless of how many people per section) and for tournaments where you play 2 games with each player in your section, you need 10 open slots (again, regardless of how many people per section.)
And Yes, for single elimination, you only need 1 open slot..

And I am buying some bishop memberships for pawns tonight, so I will include you.

But, since the system DID declare it a draw, the rules must be as gambler is interpreting them to be. I interpreted them the same way. As soon as a player does not have a move in their turn, the game is at that instant, over.

Stop it, NOW.

Thanks.

Jim Dandy: Player rating (If you are talking about BKR) has nothing to do with figuring the SB.

It looks correct to me also.

Marfitalu: Yes, it seems as though it should stay in the "Open" list until that 2nd deadline is passed. Otherwise there is not much good in defining that 2nd date, since the only people who will notice are perhaps people in the other games already running in that tourney. (Or posting a link here, which is a good solution for now!)

Marfitalu: It started. It appears that in Random game tournies, where they are 2 game switched colors with each opponent, each game of the pair of games IS the same game.

Marfitalu: I was wondering the same thing, myself. I have one starting tomorrow. If no one has answered, I will let you know what happens.

anastasia: I believe you have to be the captain of the team to make challenges. But regardless, there is a spot on your fellowship's main page that will have a drop down menu of teams of that game that you can challenge. You click on the team you want to challenge, then set up the tourney.

BIG BAD WOLF: When you go to your fellowship page, and click on the link to a set of stairs already set up, down at the bottom of the page, will be an area that says something like "add game to your stairs" with a drop down menu of any games that are part of your fellowship, that are not yet on that set of stairs.. You simply click it and add it.

Well, you can only define stairs for games you already have as part of your fellowship. So, if Halma is the only game you have set up as a team in your fellowship, for example, you will have to add teams for the games you want to add to your stairs.

You don't have to create new stairs for the new games. You can add the games to the stairs you already have set up.

anastasia: No, you cannot pair people up yourself using the brainking tournament system. You have to do all that with regular games and call it a tournament (as you seem to be doing)

And your opponent timing out doesn't help your BKR if they time out in the first 2 moves...

mrloupcity: Regardless... a public board is not the place to bash someone. Especially if you don't know for sure that something "crooked" is going on!

but hey. now I'm off topic.. :-)

I am actually thinking that there is probably no need to give the creator any option to control the BKR level in random tournaments. (At least in it's present incarnation.)

Also, since you made it a Random tourney, I believe there is no way for your BKR constraints to be automatically checked by the system.

Right, the creator decides the "pool" of games that the random games are generated from.

Czuch Chuckers: Ok.. this is probably a dumb question, but how can it be a random tournament with only 1 game (Spider Line 4)? I am sure I am missing something.. lol..

Pioneer54: Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if they are like the tournaments we already had, they can not be deleted once started.
