What does that have to do with team tournaments or are you just trying to cause problems? 19. Februarie 2005, 03:11:55 Subiectul: Team Tournaments Actually I just took a look of what team tournaments we currently have, and what games we don't have a team tournament for - so here are a few other ideas:
Plus would like to see: Plus I skiped a couple of some-what popular games since they are not my favorite, but I guess I should mention those also: OK, that is all for now. :-) 19. Februarie 2005, 02:34:45 Subiectul: Lets see if I can help
19. Februarie 2005, 02:29:00 Subiectul: Hyper Backgammon - VERY BIG T

.... but 1 person got removed because they did not have enough game slots, so we ended up with 99 players. Not even double my original plan... :-( LOL 9. Februarie 2005, 21:00:55 Ok, 59 minutes until tournament start - 99 people, who's missing???
(Pretty good turn out - one of the highest I've seen that was not a prize or an invite only tournament!) 9. Februarie 2005, 19:06:08 With 2 hours to go, we are almost to 100 people (97 as I write this). YEA!
►►►► HYPERGammon - 50+ Players Needed! ◄◄◄◄ 7. Februarie 2005, 16:14:18 Subiectul: Very BIG hyper-gammon tournament WOW - After only 2 days, already 60 players are signed up for this tournament!
Since it filled up so quickly, I have moved up the start day to start in about 2 days, so if you are interested in a VERY BIG Hyper Backgammon tournament with already 60 players in it, there is still time to sign up! ►►►► HYPERGammon - 50+ Players Needed! ◄◄◄◄ ►►►► HYPERGammon - 50+ Players Needed! ◄◄◄◄ ►►►► HYPERGammon - 50+ Players Needed! ◄◄◄◄ 5.

Februarie 2005, 15:58:50 2nd rounds will always start for pawns even if you do not have enough game slots.
.... you just won't be able to start any new games until your back under your game limit 26. Ianuarie 2005, 19:14:28 Subiectul: Groundhog Day Dummies #7 About a week left to sign up!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Starting Feb 2nd (Groundhog Day!), is the popular "All games for dummies" tournament!
Again, you may see 1 or 2 players who now have a higher rating then 1500 in the tournament. Before the tournament starts, I will remove any player who is WAY over the 1500 BKR limit that way it is fair to all the others who have signed up. 19. Ianuarie 2005, 18:28:08 Subiectul: Re: eagle eye: Once you are signed up, the system will not remove a user if they then change status and is out of the range of a tournament.
Now, it is up to the tournament creator if they want to remove that user before the tournament starts or not. 17. Ianuarie 2005, 02:46:27 Modificat de coan.net (17. Ianuarie 2005, 02:47:56) HyperGammon is currently the 8th most popular game on the site - not bad for a week.
http://brainking.com/game/Statistics?p=2 Oh, and I vote for a HyperGammon team tournament also! Lets say teams of about 6-7 players - 3-4 days per move 4. Ianuarie 2005, 18:44:02 Subiectul: Re: how players get placed in groups ? eagle eye: The smallest section that will be created is 3. The biggest I think is 8.
So if the max per section is 5, and 15 sign up - 3 sections of 5 will be created. If 16 would sign up, then 4 sections of 4 players would be created. You can kind-of figure out who will be in your section. Highest rank player will be in section #1. 2nd highest rank: section #2 3rd highest rank: section #3 4th highest rank: section #3 5th highest rank: section #2 6th highest rank: section #1 7th highest rank: section #1 8th highest rank: section #2 .. and so on. (At least that is how I think it works!) 4. Ianuarie 2005, 17:16:23 See what happens when I take a month off from making my "Fast start" tournaments... I was out of practice in making tournaments!  4. Ianuarie 2005, 16:04:29 Subiectul: Groundhog Day Dummies #7 SORRY - I messed up the last tournament, did not set the correct settings, so I had to remove that one and start up this new one. So if you are one of the few that signed up for the previous tournament, PLEASE go and sign up again. Sorry for the trouble. 
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Starting Feb 2nd (Groundhog Day!), is the popular "All games for dummies" tournament!
2. Ianuarie 2005, 15:03:34 It is already reported in the bug tracker:
http://brainking.com/game/ReadBug?bgi=250 (does not show games completed in 2004!) :-) 28. Decembrie 2004, 23:23:20 Subiectul: Re: Number of concurrent games troydaniels: 10 is correct. (Even though you may start up to 14 games to take you over your limit), the computer only checks for 10 free spaces to start.
If it was only one game for each two players, you would only need 5 free spaces. 22. Decembrie 2004, 01:42:41 20. Decembrie 2004, 16:16:00 Well I guess it was beter to have someone to enter the tournament then to not be able to enter the tournament at all.
An idea would be to possible allow teams to enter with less players, and just enter a "ghost" player that will just take 2 game loses for the team - BUT would allow the rest of the team to enter. 19. Decembrie 2004, 15:56:00 1) My tournaments: I'll start them back up soon - I've just been behind in many of my games & other stuff I decided to take a short break in making them. I should be making them by the first of the year.
2) Auto-vacation - This is a good rule which may get abused by a few people. The only 2 rules I would like to see applied to auto-vacations are:
18. Decembrie 2004, 14:23:58 Subiectul: tournaments with no vacation Fencer - when you do have it possible to have tournaments/games with no vacation days allowed - hopefully they will show up on the game sheet a little differently, or able to sort no vacation games a little differently in case you do plan to take a vacation, you can try to hurry and play those game quickly. :-) 13. Decembrie 2004, 17:27:17 Subiectul: Year 2005 Tournaments Back on January 1, 2004, I started 2 new year tournaments. Well Year 2005 is near, so 2 new year 2005 tournaments have been created!
Details on tournaments: To sign up: Good luck to all! Also to those who have asked, I will start back up the "Fast Start" tournament after the first of the year (or maybe before if I can get caught up on things.) 1. Decembrie 2004, 22:30:42 Lets take a look at those numbers....
12 players per team, at least 4 teams to start the tournament, at least 48 players needed to start that tournament. Currently 352 rooks and above. Minus the rooks and above which are not active, you get 335. Most knights that play in team tournament are probable already on a team, so probable will not be able to join this one. So basicly, about 15% of the active available players, or about 1 out of 7 rooks and above will have to join to make this tournament possible. (and if you remove the rooks and above who are not even in any fellowships, that will also change the numbers.) Oh yea, it was not my idea in case anyone was wondering. :-) 23. Noiembrie 2004, 22:28:16 .... My fellowship has 14 active players that are on the Backgammon team able to sign up... 8 will be left out. :-(
But I already said how I felt about multiply teams - just think the "power" fellowship will end up dominating. But if it were to happen, I would be happy to field 2 teams! :-) 23. Noiembrie 2004, 22:04:26 That's cool. With 6, there should still be plenty of teams... and hopefully not many who will be left out of the tournament. :-) 23. Noiembrie 2004, 21:46:09 Wow - only 4 player teams for the Backgammon team - most popular game on the site! There are going to be a lot of different teams (and probable some people left without teams) :-(
Lets see..... Lets make other suggestions for team tournaments: Crowded Gammon (6 player team) Halma 8x8 (4 player team) Line4 (5 player team) Crazy Screen Chess (4 player team) :-) 23. Noiembrie 2004, 21:04:24 Having 2 teams from 1 fellowship may end up leaving some other fellowships without enough people to play - leaving some of the "bigger" fellowship just playing each other teams.
I also vote for another Backgammon Team Tournaments (since the first one is complete) 14. Noiembrie 2004, 19:34:53 Subiectul: Year 2005 Modificat de coan.net (14. Noiembrie 2004, 19:35:14) Back on January 1, 2004, I started 2 new year tournaments. Well Year 2005 is near, so 2 new year 2005 tournaments have been created!
Details on tournaments: To sign up: Good luck to all! 14. Noiembrie 2004, 04:32:13 ... and it's not a record - there was a time which you could choose the "year" back to 2002, but I think Fencer changed it to only include 2004 & 2005. (Use to be able to set the date up to 2024, but again Fencer changed it.) :-) 14. Noiembrie 2004, 04:19:45 Grin - I usually just set the date for 1 or 2 days ago... but got board, set it for "Jan 1st, 2004" :-) 12. Noiembrie 2004, 21:49:57 Subiectul: -- hint hint -- Hey Fencer - We need a new Backgammon Team Tournament! :-) 7. Noiembrie 2004, 00:28:28 If the other person does not like it, it is not a good joke.
If the other person can find humor in it, then it is a good joke. The person involved already said they did not like the tournament name, so hence - Bad joke. 6. Noiembrie 2004, 23:29:10 Without the baiting, there would be no reply. Maybe the person doing the baiting should be banned? 6. Noiembrie 2004, 16:50:30 Most emergencies will probable take more then 1 day. I also think that having it unlimited is a little too much (up to 30 days + weekends and such for rooks). With a limit of 4 or 5, it will give about a week extra time - which I think would not be too much to ask for people in an emergency. 6. Noiembrie 2004, 16:20:23 what would you think if there was a limit of 4 or 5 days for autovacation to take at one time? 5. Noiembrie 2004, 21:26:05 A second round will start even if you do not have enough slots available.
So with a second round starting, it is possible to be over your game limit. (of course you would then not be able to start any new games until you are under the limit.) 5. Noiembrie 2004, 19:55:08 Why would we need a special rook membership without the ability to create fellowships - we have that, it's called a Knight membership basicly!
Maybe a "trial" 2 month Knight for 5 EUR or something? 2. Noiembrie 2004, 16:51:23 ... but then who would keep improving this site??? :-) 31. Octombrie 2004, 19:18:28 yea.. and if you don't offer a choice, or take away something that is already here - you will also upset many knights who would not upgrade at all. 31. Octombrie 2004, 19:10:54 Buy why? Many knights barley even use more then what they get as Pawns, and don't need the features of a rook. If they had a choice of either paying more, or just droping a few games - many would probable just drop a few games. 31. Octombrie 2004, 19:03:00 I think it would end up losing money for BrainKing.
If the price is the same as the rook for everything, some knights would not pay since they barley use what they have now. If the price was the same as a knight, with the option to donate more - well then many users like myself will spend just what we need to get the membership, and not donate anything more. 29. Octombrie 2004, 23:53:16 You know I liked the idea at first of having a limit of 1 team tournament for knights, but I would like to see that rules lifted.
The only problem I would see is if a team signed up a knight member, then when the tournament is about to start and that knight is over the 50 game limit, it would cause problems for the whole team. But again, think it would be a good idea to find a way so knights can enter more team tournaments. 29. Octombrie 2004, 20:56:12 Subiectul: Re: Backgammon Team Tournament Ok, I see the Players Result tables now also. I looked at the tournament while it was in the "waiting" stage to start round 3 of the tournament, so I'm guessing that during the hour it was in this "waiting stage", that it must not have had that link.
... yea, just as I suspected... the tournament creator who was on the winning team plus winning all his games also has access to the site code.... Can someone say conspiracy??? LOL 29. Octombrie 2004, 20:45:16 Modificat de coan.net (29. Octombrie 2004, 20:46:09) I would agree that backgammon is the one game that can support a bigger team (possible up to 10 players), but on the flip side - it might mean less number of total teams.
2 games per opponent? Why? Backgammon is one of the games that does not really have an advantage for one player over the other, plus currently there are less and less players signing up for team tournaments (and double games may keep them away), plus with only 1 game per opponent - the team tournament might complete sooner. Other then that, I 2nd the 2nd request for fencer to add the 2nd backgammon team tournament. 29. Octombrie 2004, 18:40:37 Subiectul: Backgammon Team Tournament BrainKing's Very First Team Tournament - Backgammon is COMPLETE!
Link to tournament There is a small bug in the tables (created a new section for the winning team), which I'm sure Fencer will fix as soon as he is on next. Here are the results: Congrats to all! - - - - - - - Request for Fencer: 1) Can we see the Player results table for the completed tournaments like we see for current tournaments. 27. Octombrie 2004, 16:31:23 or how about.....
Halma 10x10: "The tournament without a name" 27. Octombrie 2004, 16:25:10 Line4 - Line-r-up
Halma 8x8: Halma 8x8=64? Tournament Halma 10x10: So many spaces, so little pieces 27. Octombrie 2004, 16:17:35 Names.... Hum..... not sure. (looks around for others to throw out some suggestions) << < 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 > >> |
